My memory was not of holding onto his coat. Father’s free hand was wrapped so tightly around my wrist, I could feel the rhythm of his heartbeat pulsing through his fingers. I think he must have believed that if he let go, he would never have found me again . . .

To see this image again after so many years brings revelation, not disappointment. I thought at the time a mechanical failure, perhaps a faulty shutter or some defect of the lens, was to blame for the starry flare that obscured the strange traveler. Father knew better. A camera records the play of light on the physical world, nothing more. My father used his drawing ability to record the mysterious nature of our encounter and make it visible, in a way the camera could not.
