coffee no. 140
The most important are photos we have not taken.
During my last trip I saw a long-haired Japanese woman, dressed in a wonderful flowery dress. Standing several footsteps behind her, I was observing the moment when she was adjusting her make up. I could not seen her face -- only the shapely red lips reflecting in a small round mirror she was holding in her hand. I was so mesmerized with that cinematic view that as soon as I remembered about my camera, the woman had her *job* finished.
Thinking about this non-existent photo, I suppose that it would not be as good in reality as in my imagination.
