Camera Eye

(Named for Dos Passos, but not in that style.) I’m still plugging away with #The100DayProject. This is the kind of picture that I’m always pleased to be able to get. I’m super rusty with my street photography, so I don’t often make images that I like as much as this one. My hope is that, by the end of these 100 days of taking pictures, I’ll have gotten back to my old skill level. We’ll see. For tonight, my picture post is doubling as my slice:

Baptiste tried to read through all of Césaire every couple of years, had been reading him since he was a boy, long before he could understand most of what he was reading. His parents approved, thought it a good sign that he was interested. His grandmother bought him his own set of books before he left for college. “Keep drinking him in, baby boy,” she’d written inside Cahier. “Aimé was writing for you, for your heart. And, when you’re ready, we can talk about all of it.” And he was still drinking it in, still finding new things to think and write about all these years later.
