Today I went out into the wide gray world. Did the sun even rise? I managed to get to a show of Edward Steichen's photographs. I loved the aspect of his work where he seems to be catching time in the photo. There was a gorgeous photo of the edge of Walden Pond, where the water was sepia toned but had this great quality of making me feel like sticking in my hand. I loved the caught moment in it, familiar even though it was taken 87 years ago. A lifetime.

His work is beyond description for me. I find myself 'falling into' every piece.
