He drooped on a city bench and was not there. The street went on with its noise and heat. Cars slid by. A woman laughed somewhere. The man had gone to the other place a man goes when the world grows thin. I raised the camera. The shutter made a small sound and the moment ended.
Time does what it does. The man is likely gone now. The bench is scraped, moved, or torn out. The city I was in has been built over and sold again. The car I drove is someone else’s story now. The love I had is a closed door. All of it has gone out with the tide.
What remains is this image and the truth inside it. A man, a bench, a huge living breathing city all around him, and the clean silence of going elsewhere while your body stays put. You can feel the air on the back of your neck. You can hear the pigeons. You can see how the light lands, and how it leaves.
Long Gone holds a room steady. Hang it where the morning comes in and you’ll watch the hour pass without waste. It is for those who know that the rarest thing on earth is a clear moment—and that once it’s taken, it never comes back.
