J-D-J

"...How do you rid the sweat after the body bliss?..."

Sight is a simple sense that one doesn't tend to over-analyze. Eyes open...sight on. That said, an artist's eye may walk by a city alley and see his/her next photo shoot where someone else just sees the homeless person, and still another's eyes just the alley. Learning to "fully" see is not the same as simply propping the eyelid up. For as much as we use our eyes, sometimes we are truly blind to what our eyes gaze upon. Like the once common practice in photos from earlier generations, we all color what we see with our own emotional palette.

Spending time with couples is one of the times when my sight is at its clearest. What my eyes see is processed through my heart simultaneously and the image becomes a portrait of real and idealized harmony. Sharing in their intimacy has varying levels of success. Always so many variables. Oh, if everyone could be skilled Human Chemists to concoct the a formula for social mixing.

Sometimes trying to capture a moment with words is best done as close to the time of the event. Other times the moment itself can be so overwhelming that time must add its seasoning to the writing recipe for words to appear. I know that when I experience a moment that is beyond words when I remember it and a smile appears on my face; a sigh ensues and for a microsecond the pleasure is relived.

And so just like (link to my first time-->) my first time in March 2003, I sigh...
