The light was really, really bad… and yet I really like the light in this image.

This underscores the fact that you never truly know how the image will look until you press the shutter.  In thinking about this, I’m reminded of that famous Garry Winogrand quote:  “I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.”

I’ll keep on healing all the scars
That we’ve collected from the start
I’d rather this than live without you…

For every wish upon a star
That goes unanswered in the dark
There is a dream, I’ve dreamt about you

—Eddie Vedder, Without You.
