I can remember times when I’d be watching something going on when suddenly I’d see something happen that would make such
an impression that image would freeze in my head like a frame out of a video. The action would continue but I’d be paying
more attention the that frozen image thinking holy shit, did I really see that happen?
Personally I feel “American Cowgirl” is about the most powerful photograph I’ve ever seen in a very long time.
It’s like one of my frozen images in my head
