This picture was taken at 4 in the morning on 1 November. The two people depicted were friends back when we were teenagers 30 years ago. The guy on the right was in my class in high school. He is now an environmental scientist and a talented jazz musician. The guy on the left is blind (from birth). His hearing is phenomenal.
