Gawking

"Stare. It is the way to educate your eye, and more. Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long."
-Walker Evans

I was a rude kid; the kind who always stared at people and eavesdropped on conversations that were none of my business. I like that Walker Evans tells me it's ok.

One of the greatest learning experiences is often misinterpreted as wasting time. Sit on a bench in a busy section of a city and just look. Amazing!
