You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

22 June, 2005 /

Whenever I go to an art gallery I get annoyed rather quickly. I can stare at a picture for WAY too long. When asked, “What do you think?” I would love to come up with something artistic or witty to say, but all I can say is, “Hmm. Well, I’m wondering what is to the right of this picture. The artist wants us to see THIS” and I point to the artwork, “I want to see THIS.” and just move my hands as if I can pan the camera so I can see the WHOLE picture.

I’m sure this says something about my personality…outside of the fact that I am NOT the person you want to take to an art gallery.

So here’s the whole picture of my new masthead. This was the second beach we went to, the one that I had to sand-slide my way down a cliff to get to and CRAWL up the big ass flight of stairs to get back up.

This is the picture I am taking in the masthead

What we both wrote at two different times, not knowing the other had done the same thing until we downloaded the pictures.

The beach we were on that only had a few people on it.

The guy who thought he was the ONLY person on the beach.

This picture was NOT taken with the D70. It was taken with my daugther’s $90 Kodak my dad bought her. Impressive huh?

There is the whole picture.
