I think that after I retired this might have been my first NYC street portrait ... I'd never really walked around with my camera since the time before I was a professional ...and since it's so against my nature , for sure never walked up to strangers on the street asking to make their pictures ... people had come to my studios and paid me for that .... but ... my passion and need was intense ... I was compelled to make portraits ... and I began carrying my camera .... I did that for weeks without making an image ... I'm afraid that I was just too timid and unaccustomed to approach anyone ... and of course I'd come home frustrated, disappointed and unfulfilled .... but on an afternoon walk so many years ago... this kid passed by on the street .... stopped me ... said that he liked my camera .... and apparently that was enough ... he woke me up ... we connected for a bit ... and then he let my camera borrow his face .... well ... all these years later I'm still grateful to that kid and for that moment ... hoping that I have more of those kind of moments that wake me up ... whatever our intents and passions we sometimes all need a spark that ignites and translates our hopes into our actions ... think we all might need some more of that ... feels so much better to be alive and awake ...
