The Untitled

The next ten weeks or so will be extremely busy for me.

I hope I get to write and think a bit.

In the meantime I think I will post my favorite pictures from my summer of playing.

Did I mention this is a borrowed camera from my mother?

I just love that camera!

oops

I mean I just love that woman!

To Win Some

“I don’t normally introduce myself to strangers”, I said shyly.

“I’m no stranger, I am here every day” he quipped in a soft voice.

I sat down next to him, and feeling bold with nothing to loose I just blurted.

“I think your beautiful, I really would love to take your picture”

“I think you are mistaken” he replied with a smile.

However he smiled like he has heard this before. “What will you do with a photo of me?” he asked.

I might study it some more. I think I might grow up to be an artist.

Soon.

“That might be alright then, but I hope I don’t break that camera of yours.”

We talked then, of the city and growing up and then old.

We agreed that we all win some and loose some. “mostly I have lost some” he said with distance in his eye.

I hope today we both won something. I feel richer by having the courage to stop, not just pass by.
