Maybe the photos would mean nothing to anyone that wasn’t there.
But if it makes you remember that you were having your owncontemplative moment then all the better.
Just so you know in the three hours I sat at that table pen-in-hand
writing in my analogue journal this woman must have smoked four
packs. Her husband would only come over to retrieve a cigarette,
smoke it and then go outside and stare into space.
Wonderful conversations they must have, no?
When I know that I have the ability to use some stationary and most of
the time large objects as a little sniper’s nest, I use them.
Because, I mean, come on, honestly, it’s much better to have the
camera to eye.
Using those beautiful frame lines.
Watching elements come in and out of your frame.
‘tis a wonderful way to pass one’s time.
And there’s that thrill you feel in your stomach.
Your heart.
Your throat.
Your balls, if you own some.
And just because you’re a guy doesn’t mean you have a set.
Using an object to use as cover doesn’t have to apply to immobile
objects. It doesn’t even have to apply to inanimate objects.
