Some moments in life demand to be photographed. These sisters recalled an image I had seen before, maybe in Aperture Magazine or on Tender Photo. The danger is that the photo-obsessive only sees echoes of other photos.

On Sunday, 8 March, my wife texted me to say that there was a fire at Central Station. By the time I got there, the smoke was rising in huge plumes.

Laura had wanted to visit for her birthday.
Despite this photo, the place seemed to be thriving.
