Benches.
Punctuation marks in the flow of the day.
They’re convenient, but you hardly notice them unless you’re ready for a break. Like the woman in Bench No. 1, bundled up in her raincoat, smoking, watching the passersby. She got me wondering about who uses that bench, and for what?
It’s a short leap from that to wondering what happens on and around other benches—both classic and makeshift—as life flows around them.
