You Done Yet? on Flickr.
I’d forgotten about this photo of @BrianKeene.
It occurs to me, almost all of my photos of my friends are candids. That should be my first real photo project: solid portraits of all my friends.
That makes it a missed opportunity in Colorado. I could have shot portraits of Brian, Mikey, Coop, John, Russ, Michelle, and what could have been my last opportunity to snap Pic.
I still have that opportunity with my Peoria friends and our ladies.
I can still throw the camera in the bag when Steve and I jump on our motorcycles for a ride.
I can still shoot Ommus and some of the old Chicago crew.
I need to stop worrying I’m going to be bothering them, and tell them why I’m bothering them.
Time could be short for some of us.
I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I’m afraid of.
