One of the other photographers in communications was looking at this picture up on my blog and asked if I had named the picture We're all Thieves and why . . .
I've alwaya been one of those people who continuously carries a song in their heart. Some last much much longer than others and there is one that I just always seem to be singing (since I arrived in Liberia over two months ago) to myself when I am alone out walking and or seeking a bit of solitude away from the ship. The song is called We're all Thieves . . . and it was a song I used to love driving to in the wee hours of the morning back in LA with nowhere in particular to go. I never really felt like it was the lyrics that hooked me but rather the song in its entirety the way it all came together . . . and esspecially from the bridge and into the chorus . . . it would give me the chills everytime.
When I took this picture, the song simply exploded into my mind. It is not something I want to really get into explaining in any great detail, and I know this is quite possibly unique to me and me alone, but it all made sense. The reality of it all. Inside . . . . I couldn't imagine.
