Can i take your picture please?
I liked the line of light profiling him
and i just had the impulse.
The man with the bouquet and the pack sack
stopped and smiled. Gently agitated, he said...he was in a hurry.
But he asked me: "Are you a professional photographer?"
I then smiled and said no...
Just passionate about photography,
capturing moments that will never come back.
We were at the foot of a small mountain.
I was intrigued by his
posture and the intensity of his walk,
i needed to know...
So, i asked him what was the hurry?
(the story unfolds in the next image or in another gallery,
depending in which gallery you see this image).
No more...
Can we see the reflection of the stars
in his eyes...
Only the memories of them.
Demain... combien de trains encore...
Tomorrow, how many trains still...
Observation...
Who watches who?
n.b. I was a bit too far for my lens...but, you get the idea ;)

Together....still and always

Lost....
I don't know if he remember his mother...
He was in a hurry
I asked him why...?
He said do you think the flowers still look fresh?
I said yes, they are beautiful.
But..where are you going with those flowers?
Why are you in a hurry?
He smiled and said, follow me.
(He had also taken the time to remove his cap
and remove the paper from the flowers, leaving his pack sack
at the top of the mountain...)
So i did follow that man i did not know.
and...
Up close.....and personal
This is why he was in a hurry...
he wanted to make sure
there was still good light
and that the flower was still fresh and beautiful enough.
He moved me
when he touched the stone
and held the flower
for a still moment...
I thought this was up close and very personal
i almost felt like an intruder but...he insisted i go with him.
I am thankful for those "out of the blue" moments...

...and then
The doctor asked my mother:
"IF" your heart happens to stop...do you accept to not be reanimated?
I swallowed my tears
She said yes...
and so far...her heart is still beating
but she is very tired
I sometimes wonder if she should not go join papa
who left us in 2003...
Pas de deux...
Slowly and in sync.
