Not like the others
July 3, 2018
I was walking through the sculpture garden right outside NOMA when I turned a corner and came across this installation. At first it didn’t dawn on me that the life-like statue in-living-color was actually a real human being. He was being so still that when he finally did move, I was more than just a little surprised. His head just dipped slightly and man I almost dropped my damn camera. I got in closer, even more curious now, framed up and shot. He gently turned his head to face me and asked,
“Did you get it?”
I smiled and nodded my head in the affirmative, to which he replied,
“Good.”
and his head slid back to it’s initial position and he returned to his semi-petrified state.
