Toward the end of Gröning’s stay at the Grande Chartreuse, the monks asked him (in notes, probably) what he had learned from them. The question came as a surprise to Gröning, who had “drifted away from speech by then” that he hadn’t worked out his ideas in words.
Eventually, he said, “I realized that what I had actually learned was that it is possible to live very much without fear, because this is what they do. They live without fear. I wanted the audience to be able to share this.”
“It depends on the day,” he replies, looking a little restless. “What kind of photograph, how I’m feelin’. [Greg Gorman, who shot the accompanying pages] wants you to feel comfortable, so he directs a lot of attention to that. He sets up a situation that’s very easy to be in. If you are feeling self-conscious or uncomfortable, he tries to make it so you’re not. He will make it work for you.”
do you think you’d actually notice if someone didn’t cast a shadow? or if their limbs were just slightly too long? or if they had just a little too many teeth? like how many times have you passed Something on the street and you just didn’t Notice It

My favorite romantic relationship in media is actually a healthy couple that adore each other and communicate while bringing out the best in each other. My second favorite is whatever the hell NBC Hannibal has going on.
