  These photos were taken on the 9th of April 2011 on the Plateau, Montréal. One of the first days of Spring – and I’m happy I can shoot outside again. Clara Engel is a musician who has her music up at Bandcamp. Recommended! Images and poetry eagerly linger beyond the click.
Years and spaces now lie between us and those final days in Germany. Even then, the lines on her face talked to me about where we were headed, and when I look back now, it seems like they’re still speaking. Daring me to reach out to her through the screen. And I feel like I can. She never ages. She once told me she wanted to be forever young.
This must have been the foggiest day of the entire year. The air was so humid, cold and still that even the birds had fallen silent. He had given up trying to light his cigar, and instead just stood there, pondering his next move. She was pissed, no question about that. But could he risk catching up with her and letting Baker slip away? Suddenly, he missed the days when he was a man with nothing to lose.
The clocks have stopped and the sky is smiling on the yellow-brown leaves that won’t quite start falling, and she leans and she glances all over the plain, and she’s happy and glad: one more day without rain. Just the breezes that touch her hair like lovers and the balance that, right here and now, the world offers.
More material from Hayley’s photo session on October 17th 2010. Sometimes we feel like sleepwalking through our time on Earth. Sometimes we feel like existing where life used to hold our souls in place. We need to wake up. Smell the rain. Feel the touch of the sun on our skins. These were taken in an untrodden side street. In autumn 2010, a charming and talented young lady found her way to Montreal to gather new experiences. Hayley met me while browsing Craigslist for a computer screen to buy, and stayed in touch for a photo session. This was a sunny Saturday in mid-October. Those blessed fresh days of autumn are fleeting. Here’s a reminder and a fresh set of scenes from stories never written. |
