A Rose Under a Tent
I took my 1954 Canon L3 rangefinder camera with me to an arts and crafts fair. For a while, I did not bring the camera to my eye -- all seemed predictable and common.
Then, as it is always the case in street photography, I noticed this woman holding a long-stem white rose entering a tent where jewelry was displayed. It is perhaps the experience one gets over time in anticipating a frame to take shape.
As she stood behind the man with a cowboy hat, I clicked.
... As I looked at the negative under a loupe, I could not resist remembering a few lines about a rose:
"Love is like a rose: when pressed between two lifetimes, it will last forever"
And so it is.
