I was in subway a little while ago today ... just eating by myself, it was pouring down rain and this young black woman came in and stood in line, had arms folded, decided what she'd have.
I happened to look over and ... I know everyone here has these kind of moments (right?) ... her arm was wet from the rain, and there were all these alternating shiny spots alternating with the dry spots on her arm, and it it was just incredible. I couldn't take my eyes off her arm. I literally stared at her arm for at least a minute. She didn't notice me, or at least didn't give on that she did. I wanted to take a picture of it so badly, to say "hey can you freeze for a second while I, a shabbily-dressed complete stranger, takes pictures of your wet arm?"
And then the moment was gone. She got a call on her cell, and that was it.
Dunno why ... just thought i'd post it. Does anyone ever ask strangers to let them shoot, when just happen upon something beautiful?
