Overview
© Alvaro Barrington. Photography: Jeremiah Cumberbatch.
"Life must be understood backwards but it must be lived forwards"
“I gotta talk about my life as i see it
Knowing how to deal well with things you dont know is more important than know how to deal with things you know
Whenever we make a decision we dont have all the facts and luck is going to influence the outcome
Sentimental knowledge
What people think about me aint none of my spiritual business"
—Alvaro Barrington
