Tight Cuts
Once in a while I take a photo that ends up surprising me. The second photo in this collection drew my eye as a beautiful reflection in a large puddle along a quiet street. We needed the rain and the morning after was a crisp, nearly fall day. It wasn’t until I received the film scan and began a simple edit that the hidden shape became visible. The puddle looks like the profile of a person where the mouth is exhaling a puffy white cloud, like a breath of fresh air. It feels like a sign, and I’m paying attention.
