A Moment

The End

"This is the end of all of our movies by the way.  The end of your movie, the end of my movie, and I think  if we can realize that, and if we can always be aware that the end does come, it helps us appreciate all of the small things that happen in our life every day" (Tom Ford from the Directors' Commentary on A Single Man)

On the night of a special Oscar nomination screening of the film, Tom Ford happened to be there for a short question and answer session.  While waiting for it to start, I stepped out into the lobby to make a call.  It just so happened that he was standing a few feet away from me, and for some reason, he turned toward me.  I was not quite sure how to respond, to see him so close up.  But it was easy, because he smiled at me. and I smiled back.

It was a beautiful moment.
