Late evening with a cup of tea in my hands, when nobody is around - only my camera and computer - I reminisce of the last photo session where I was invited as a professional photographer.
I was hesitating because I had to be able to capture the merriment of the part - will I manage to recall their feelings, the noise of fun with the cards. Will they be happy while discussing photos again in family circle. Hesitating, because I can't fully enjoy their party due to my own feelings ...
Again and again my thoughts return to this ... the warmth of the cup forces me to open my laptop and start browsing the photos.
Oh, this image .. it evokes my memories about the time that I spent in an administrative building with faded light. I noticed a girl with eyes like the sky - she worked at the receiption. Something
in her smile was so exciting - and I suggested to accompany her along the
street. "What is this?" I asked when she was locking the door of her office. "Just nothing," she said, but I saw these two hearts on
the keychain. I asked if I could take a picture of them - she said I could.
These 2 hearts was the present of a boyfriend and she was keeping it near herself for the meaning that someone in the world was waiting for her ..
oh nice memory, I feel somewhat happy deep in my soul, when I imagine the emotions at the moment when I bring the photos from a lab to my client and hear their voices:
"I can't see myself .. you are so pretty ... what are we doing here .. nice clothes .. is it really you ... yeah, do you remember, how funny (happy?) you were.."
