I like popping the SDHC card out of my camera. It’s spring loaded and it sometimes flies across the room. I shoot pictures reflexively and I’m often surprised by what’s on my memory card but this one blew me away. It’s a bad photo, a flash shot at dusk and it is out of focus, but it looks like a found photo. The kids’ hair style, their clothes, the instruments, the colors, the setting all look mid-century. It looks like one of those square format pictures from Kodak’s first plastic cameras. I had one of those and this looks like one of my old shots but this was taken last night on East Avenue. To top it off the kids were doing a Miles tune, “Four,” from the fifties.
