I've been on deadline for four days, reading and more reading, the new Jane Smiley for NPR (it airs tomorrow at 9:40-ish on KPCC) and getting started on another book for the Chicago Tribune. Spend hours alone with books and your head fills up, gets fuzzy, everything's in increments, all about words. So it felt like another language altogether - well, it was, I guess - to look through the viewfinder and see these images this morning.
