Inspiration for the photograph, We can see each other.
I had been obsessing over something unresolved in my work and I needed a break, so I went outside to clear my head. I took in a big breath of fresh air and started walking down the street.
All at once –
Smack! Blank! Nothing!
I blinked.
Then it hit me.
I can see something. The person across the street, the tree next to him – I can see them. Outside me. We can see each other!
I started walking again. I felt giddy, like I was walking on clouds, my whole body smiling at this miraculous mystery of sight.
