126/365 Mr. O'Keefe
Boring Mr. O’keefe once told our biology class about a breathtaking seascape he had photographed, enlarged, framed, and gave to a friend after cutting up the negative - making it one-of-a-kind. Destroying the negative seemed profoundly courageous to this untethered tenth-grader. I suddenly liked him.

This guy may have had a profound influence on your life, eh?
Yes. Definitely. It was one of those moments - it shifted everything.
"cutting up the negative"
those are powerful words, and given enough time, the context can be twisted in so many ways
I like him too, and thanks for sharing
