statement   An empty lawn chair on my grandpa's
    porch, shadows that jet through railing
on the freeway at about 4:47 pm, the
silhouette of his shoulder by candlelight,
the chaaashhhhinnnnk of my shutter
release, the unmistakable smell of
developer, wrinkles, 2 birds sitting in
opposite directions side by side on a
street lamp, 4 birds flying in a diagonal
line, rain bouncing off of concrete,
the story of the ax and the butterfly,
telephone wires intersecting, the mist
blowing off of a plane wing on an
overcast morning, a 90° angle, a secret
kiss stolen in the kitchen–
is why I take pictures.
