Photo Faces

"1,2,3, now smile"…snap

That is the only photo I have of you. You never did like having your picture taken. Not a good thing when your best friend is a budding new photographer, but I never minded. It was enough having you next to me when I took the pictures; I never needed you to be in them. But that day, that photo. I couldn't not have you in it. I never liked staged photos but well sometime it's the only kind you can get.  You miss so much with a photo like that. Everyone (no matter what they say or how hard they try not to) can't help but put on what I call their 'photo faces' they only let the camera see the side of them they want to show. You can't know someone from a staged photo like that. Not the real them. You, I have to admit had the best photo face I've ever seen. Why? Well because it was just your face, no stupid smile, no stiff pose. You just stood there and grinned at me like you always did. Then after the flash you grabbed me round the waist and dragged me off to get the train home. I can't believe how long it's been since I looked at this, since I've reminisced about that summer. That summer when everything seemed possible and it looked as though nothing could get in our way.

A very personal, intimate feel for

This says more of the writer than
a book about self.
Excellent write.
