I had just closed the hotel room door,
when the phone rang.
Is this Carl? a woman asked.
Yes, yes, it is. But I’m a little dizzy.
I’ve been driving for seven hours.
There was a lot of snow, I said.
I was wondering if you’d be interested in a photo project,
it's for a new brand. I can’t tell you the name.
Sounds interesting?
What’s it about? I asked.
Automotive, racing, and speed.
We’re looking for the images in between things.
Do you know what I mean?
I think so, I said.
Could you send me some?
I’ll try, I answed, and then we hung up.
