The Event

It was not the most spectacular or long lasting, but all events have significance; they bring with them their own special dynamic and provoke response. We get to be fascinated children gleefully dancing to the music of chance.

Being part of a herd of artists scurrying around, finding the best angle and exposure, excitedly chatting and wondering (and in the act of witnessing wonder). The event created an event.

Clouds were rolling in the event taking on its own course, giving us a brief but intense glimpse.

Fingers cold enough that one could not find those buttons that have become so familiar, fumbling with apertures and shutters.

How can we be sure something happened if no one saw us there?
