Showing up for an open call for Prince’s "Purple Rain" wearing a tweed skirt and loafers, a headmistress amidst 400 girls in spandex and zippers, and other missteps on the road to not becoming famous
Loved the image of the camera pulling away as you became another face in the crowd. I think learning this kind of humility makes us better people... it also takes a lot of pressure off.
Damn, this moves through so much time and so many experiences without feeling rushed. Instead we sink into each moment, even if it's only a flash. Not sure how you managed this, but I think it's your expert deployment of details? Love getting to travel alongside you for a bit, co-conspirator. -- SH

Oh wow. I felt every word of this. The “camera” followed me around most of my life too. What a sensual piece. I love your writing Nancy.
