The Photographer Recognizes the Photo from Life
She chases it
not knowing it until it is here
The act is between observation and orchestration
She can inhabit the steam
or the light against the dog’s black stitches
I had been thinking about that photo for a while
Sally Mann said
her face still holding the pleasure of making the image
that already existed
of her husband trimming his toenails up on the tub
the wounded dog
saying hello
