My daughter discovered this image when she developed the film from the fortune cookie camera she got for her birthday. Every time I look into this, I see new stories. I told her she had unwittingly made a photographic Rorschach. She said, "Do you see the face?"
I see it.
ReplyDeleteHow is it possible that we have got our neurons connected like this? So damned improbable. So odd.
And so welcome.
I think about quantum entangling and how blurry the borders are between one thing and any other, and I think about the more than twenty years I have spent with my brain snuggled next to my wife's brain at night and in the evening and I am convinced that we share real neural connections. My brain has become dependent upon hers to function.
It's not a metaphor.
You know?
I know you do.
I think about the people with money, I mean, gobs of it. I think of the people with fame, with power, with all the prizes draped on them by the world at large, and I bet in my heart they'd trade all of it for a single day of being as engaged and real and alive and in love as people like you and I are.
Pretty stuck up, huh?
But I f**king mean it.
I'd bet five dollars on it.

That is so cool. It makes me feel like a twelve year old who says "cool" and really means it. That is so cool.

ReplyDeleteI don't see the face, but I'm going to go back and look at it again. :)

this photograph is like memory.
ReplyDeleteyou cant quite grasp its parts, but in the whole hangs a moment in time.
This is a really interesting image! I don't see the face yet, though.
ReplyDeleteI see Her face. All soft and peaceful, quiet and whole-y. Kinda like yours.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Although I have to admit, I don't see the face.
ReplyDeleteThere are two faces actually, side by side right by the converse. And I also see two MORE faces in the blur. i do love this photo my daughter unknowingly made.
