Photographs

Do you ever look at a photograph and vividly remember what was going on in the world around the photographer? Sometimes I look at pictures of myself from the past and it feels like I can see a short clip from a movie. For instance, I have a photo of myself and my dog from when I was really little. On that day, I wore black pants, a purple shirt, and some suspenders with a variety of colorful hearts. I can remember my mom and dad taking me up the canyon on a long ride, I even feel like I can still see some of the things that I saw out the window as we were driving along. We pulled over and one point and my mom wanted a picture. So, I grabbed the dog, walked her to the side of the road (while she stood on two legs and I held her arms) and held her up for the picture. I wish I could write out what's going on in my head. It really does feel like a short and sweet film.
