Photographs

One day as I was sharing time with Torley we were discussing pictures, pictures of marks in our lives. My mother used to take a ton of pictures of me and our family growing up..and she still will be the one with the camera near by at family events. On my 30th birthday my mother presented to me a large scrapbook of pictures of my life, marks in time and her celebration of my life. I was so touched..and that is a whole other story. Torley’s mom did a lot of picture taking too, and I don’t know how she could of resisted anyway as he was such an adorable child. Our conversation turned to the pictures that Torley and I share and at that point mostly it had been pictures of our virtual selves at events and tender moments shared with each other. We discussed about when the time passes for us to be gathering these sorts of pictures for our journey’s together and thought to myself that we will have some of them maybe sitting on the mantle in our home someday. This conversation was being held via web cam.
A bit further into that conversation Torley was showing me some cool album art and I noticed in the reflection of the CD I could see myself and I had an idea. I requested he remove the album art and then it was revealed. I could see his face through the clear CD case and it was also reflecting my image from the computer screen.  These aren’t your average Polaroids but I can’t imagine anything average about my relationship with this man.
