I PROMISE.
I promise that I can take photos that are completely in focus. Honest! But for now I am having too much fun experimenting. These are more photos from my spring walk on Tuesday. The garages behind my house remind me of New York in the 80’s… not sure why. The old man in the photo caught Emily’s eyes. There was a gentleness in the way he stood on his porch that suggested he may have just wandered out of a story book. When I called out and asked if I could take his photo he walked down to the sidewalk out of curiosity. He asked why, and I told him I liked his face, and he LAUGHED! He stood proud while I took the photo, and when I showed it to him he gently grasped my arm and smiled with such WARMTH. It was a really lovely city moment.
I could cry.
I feel a sort of love for the red-nosed man down my street who says “Good morning” to me every day (or at least when I walk to the station in the morning). We both gear ourselves up for it. He smiles so genuinely.
