Is this what it feels like to be stuck? Like birds who have their wings clipped? Cats with cones so they can't scratch their own ears. Little girls with henna in their clenched fists, wrapped in a cloth, who can't touch or hold anything. Amputees. A paralyzed man who can't get his legs to move no matter how hard he tries. Infertile couples who can't have a baby no matter how hard they try.

This is what it must feel like to have all the money in the world and be stuck on a desert island. To have an electric coffee maker and no where to plug it. To paint a masterpiece in your head and not have any paper to put it down on. This is what mute singers must feel like.

I'm a photographer without a camera. A camera without film. Or film without a camera. A roll of film that will never ever be developed.

A developed roll of film that will never see an enlarger or be seen in a photograph.

Yes, I think that was it. A developed roll of film that will never be seen in a photograph.
