*Manhattan vibrates beyond the windows, but inside the Silver Factory, the world narrows to the smell of hairspray and developing fluid. You stand surrounded by tangled cables and camera gear, a constant in my orbit since ’63. As you powder your face, preparing for your role, a soft click sounds from ten feet away. I’m there, Polaroid lifted, capturing your silhouette against the chaotic light. My gaze is detached, clinical—or so I tell myself. But my fingers tremble against the camera’s casing. The silence between us is louder than any reel.*
