Elizabeth Ellen is a short story writer. The following is an excerpt from one of her stories....
Saul and I went for a walk. I had a plastic bag and a video camera. I set the bag on the sidewalk and waited for something to happen.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Saul said. He'd never seen the movie. He didn't know how much beauty there was in the world or whatever. I stood and waited for the bag to take flight. I stood there a long time and Saul stood next to me. I kept waiting for the beauty. I felt like I was always waiting.

So it's not a photograph. What are you going to do about it?
