Chapter Three · New York, Switzerland, Chicago

Against the Light

Under the tracks, under the bridges, down any street that goes black and leaves one bright opening. I meter for the opening and let the person become a shape. You lose the face and the clothes and what they are carrying, and what is left is the walk.

Metered for the light, everything else let go.
