Sleeping in the Sun

Here is Karen. This was the first shot,  then I shot another, and then another.

Always the first one is the best.

Like William Eggleston said . . .

"People say "I shoot from the hip," but that's not really how I work. What happens is, when I look at something it registers on my mind so clearly that I can be loose when I shoot the picture. I always just take one picture of something, and I've never staged a photograph in my life, and never need to because there are pictures everywhere. If I'm ever in a place I think is impossible to photograph, I remember something Garry Winogrand told me. He said "Bill, you can take a good picture of anything," and that's always stuck with me"
