I was playing with a Canon 1Dmk2 camera and a 50mm f1.4 lens. We'd been to the Blanton Museum in the morning and dropped by the Galaxy Cafe on West Lynn St. for a late lunch. Belinda was looking out the window and I brought the camera up to my face and clicked the shutter.
Everything felt calm back then. Now we live with much more trepidation. We haven't dined in a restaurant since the first week of March and we plan more carefully when we leave our house.
It's funny, to me, that a photograph can so clearly communicate calmness. But there it is.
I have to confess that those big, solid Canon 1D$ cameras were a lot of fun to play around with. Good for the biceps as well. Discreet? Nobody paid attention to cameras back then so who cares?

Stay optimistic, The Trump Virus will pass or we will learn of cope with the help of some form of immunization or vaccine (but it may take a couple of years). And the horrifying virus in the White House will also pass after January 2021. Meanwhile, keep taking pictures. Record your world, your life, your loved ones.
Wonderful photograph.
Another beautiful photograph of a beautiful person.
