It isn’t something that shows up on a shot list or gets included in a vacation trip slide show. No one ever asks to see pics of the floor or any other abstract still-life from an otherwise forgettable hotel room.
Yet it’s this one image that I remember from that time we passed through a distant town in the middle of a long drive to reconnect with family. The fatigue weighed on us as we got ready to continue the journey in the gloom of an early morning in northern Ontario. And amid the rushed preparations to get out and get going, I plunked myself down and took a moment with the camera.
Photography as refuge is a thing. Or at least it should be. Where we get to time-out from life for as long as it takes to freeze the moment before we move on.
The result isn’t remotely conventional or even normal. But no one ever said anyone’s life - or the stories we tell along the way - had to be conventional.
