Thank you indeed, Jim! It is going in the direction I want it to go.
I have no idea where the image is coming from. It is one of those typical 
hunches/visions I often have about scenes, stories, projects. Most of the 
time, it comes to nothing; sometimes I try to keep a record on them; in a 
few instances they turn into images, stories, or projects. It depends very 
much on how compelling the hunches really are. Sometimes the vision is so 
compelling that I work on it for a couple of days/weeks, totally mesmerized, 
like if somebody was dictating me what to do (sounds familiar?) and then 
most often, it remains dormant for a long time.... or forever.
Quite possibly, this images is going to turn into a short story one day, or 
become part of a larger whole. I don't know. With a friend, we write an 
unending stream of short stories (in Portuguese), sometimes based on 
randomly selected old photographs or pictures. It's fun to do. 
Interestingly, before even knowing about Gilles Tran's Book of Beginnings, I 
had started something similar but with finished very short texts around an 
image. It too started suddenly as a hunch.
I am working on a website where (part of) my work will be on display. I 
admit that I started it already years and years ago, but since a few weeks 
it seems to pick up speed. So... be patient.
