Experience: 14th December 9:07 PM 2013
Sometime, between 8 and 9 PM, we serendipitously became aligned with some not so strange strangers — people new to our life/memory, but not different to our sensibilities — and began a voyage towards their car to go smoke some grass. On the way, I spotted a man, just a single man, in the bow of a ship. I carefully walked towards both the subject & object, rested on my haunches and began to compose the photo.
If you know me, or at least my images, you may be aware that I just ‘snap and leave’ — but not this time. For a while I stared at him, and for a while he stared at me. We were both entranced. My travel companions were long gone and had disappeared into the distance, and in an effort not to lose them, I finally took the photo you now see before you — severing all ties with that man, the boat, and the water that it rested in.
I often miss the man in the boat.
‘Looking at people’ — can be lonely. Because more often then not, they don’t even look back.
