I took a look at this picture (below) and really got to thinking about pictures.
Maybe it's just me but when I look at a picture, more often than not I tend to look past the picture. Today I was looking at this picture and somehow a lot seemed to jump off the page (screen).
This is obviously a picture of me but looking at this picture I realized a few things about me. I look different. The facial hair, the beanie, and mostly the look in my eyes. I look determined, I look Happy, I look free. My focus and demeanor look different, in fact it looks a lot like....... I remember me.
A few other things stood out. From this picture, I can tell I am a coffee drinker, and being a coffee drinker I can tell you that the cup in this picture is clearly from Beans & Brews. The sweet, orange, brown. cup with the ruffled ridges on the Wyat Earp hat lid can just as easily be picked out of the crowd by a coffee drinker as the annoying green on white circle of Starbucks. (Wow run on sentence of the year)
Two other things stood out in this photo to me.
1. The way my arm is resting on the door so relaxed and obviously driving with 2 fingers.
and
2. The photo in my visor. It's one of those "Sit in the machine with your sweetie and try not to look like a dork" photo's from the $2 dollar booth, starring me and Rikki. In this picture you can only decipher the photo because of the heart that gives it away, but for me.... I know every pixel on that photograph. I look at it everyday.
So in the end it was the photograph inside the photograph that persuaded me to write this blog. I guess the sappy moral of the story is that Rikki is my Muse in more ways than she knows.
Done now
