• Mi esposa Ann y yo habíamos estado cavando durante el día, trasplantando lirios de la parte delantera de esta granja abandonada por el camino hasta donde vivimos. Terminamos. Ella estaba cansada y se tumbó en la hierba. Hice una foto. La casa ya no existe. Los nogales han sido arrasados y quemados. El otro día vi esta foto por primera vez en años y me di cuenta de cómo fotografiar la vida a menos de cien metros de mi porche me había ayudado a centrarme en todo lo que me importaba.
