Not everyone

I fellow I know started a new publication.
In it there was a feature with photos of a
local artisan.

The fellow I know showed the finished piece
with the photos of the artisan.

The artisan looked at it awhile and said,
“What is it?”

He did not asked “What is it for?”
He asked “What is it?”

Where do you start to answer that question?
The publication doesn’t look like Cosmo or Esquire,
but it’s still words and pictures. It’s for reading.
And looking at. And thinking about.
Apparently not everyone does that.

I am easily amazed.

It is a first issue of a pdf publication. I have taken on some editorial role and the first issue has an interview with me in it.
It's called Being There
