Meeting Saul.

I took this one of musician McGowan Southworth a couple of years ago before I knew of Saul Leiter's work (it's a screenshot so pay no mind to the "file is missing message.") I'd never taken a picture like it before and never have since.



I discovered this picture, taken by Leiter in the 1950s, just the other day. I'm not sure if I'll ever meet him in person although sometimes I feel as though "meeting" him through shared imagery.**
