August 28, 1993


The kitchen sink in my apartment was right underneath the window, which faced south. It was a stainless steel sink with a white pvc drainpipe. Like many people I keep household cleaners in the cabinet under the sink and on this day I went looking for something and found this. The upper part of the drainpipe was glowing from within, almost like an incandescent bulb. What happened was the sun was coming through the window, shining right into the sink's drain, and lighting up the top of the drainpipe. I would eventually discover that this phenomenon was repeated at certain times of day at certain times of year, but at this moment it was interesting enough to become the print of the day.
