Of all God’s gifts to the sighted man, color is holiest, the most divine, the most solemn.
~ John Ruskin
No longer was this color in the numinous Kodachrome landscapes I had sought out for my first 30 years wielding a camera, but now on the streets, in the fairgrounds, in the museums, with people large in the frame rather than painstakingly excluded. And looking back through my files, I found there had always been some moments where my faltering courage had been sufficient to focus on some person instead of pine trees - there were people among the landscapes.
