Sam Abell

Some of my Vpost packages arrived today. The delivery man, Martin, was kind enough to deliver them to school and I took a welcome breather from my marking to unwrap the packages.


I love the writing in Sam Abell's book - The Life of A Photograph.

About this photo, he writes, " But to me the picture also has its own literary and imaginative implications. It's like a scene from a short story that will soon change. The woman will walk off, the bus pull out, the light fade. Someone else will sit at this table. But for a moment the scene is suspended and belongs to anyone who can picture being here."
