28 April 2010. Sudden shower at dawn, steady downpour--then sun...
White helmet of construction worker, far across the street, his gray sweatshirt with touch of red ochre, heading up Solano, 7-eleven bag in right hand...
An older woman from the Ukraine. Posture universal? Pulled into her chair, shoulders of dark coat molded to her own. Becoming noticeable--the strength of her arms and wrists. Somewhere the meaning--and result--of a lifetime of labor. Set against filigree curtain--a floral print with folk motif, the swirled curves of a dusty Soviet-era drafting template, even the tassles below no more than one thin layer of ink...
Shum vremini... The sound of time...
