From my table, I could see directly into the kitchen.

Two chefs were working, each absorbed in their own world. The room was loud, but their concentration seemed to make everything around them disappear.

I hadn’t planned to photograph anything that night. At some point, watching wasn’t enough.

Sometimes, someone else’s creative process reminds you why you create in the first place.
