TRUST

 crossed paths with this person when on a day that I happened to have my camera. he looked really comfortable sipping on a red stripe and sitting in his Adirondack chair. I think to myself, "ok, if you were to photo him, how would you do it?" I think "I would have him sit on the groun..." before I could complete my thought/visualization, I see him move the chair and sit on the ground!!! CONFIRMATION! I stand without thinking and ask him for a photo with no fear whatsoever…

and he agreed without any hesitation. afterwards, I shared with him my thought process and my moment of disbelief when I saw him starting to sit on the ground. he seemed as excited as I was and said that he was thinking to himself, "why am I sitting in this chair anyway? we used to be fine without chairs. the ground would probably be far more comfortable anyhow." ...or something like that. his name was Sibilia. RIP
