The Reluctant Monk

Gus would often shy away when I would break out the camera. He was reluctant, but I could tell that he was still interested in the process.

 

This was taken at one of the coffee shops we'd hang out at in San Francisco, Muddy Waters. It was an early foggy morning, and we had a stirring conversation about the practice of painting while being still inside. What's amazing to me is that after 15 years, I can still contemplate that conversation and glean deeper truths.

 

What a great point of reference from a reluctant monk.
