This is really cheating. I took this photo a couple of days ago, but then my camera's still with my brother and I don't want to upload cellphone photos anymore. haha. (refer to day before this). I had wanted to upload it for Day 3, actually, but thought I'd just keep it handy. And here it is now. Well I edited it today, so that sort of makes it valid (but then it was very minimal photoshopping, just a few ups in sharpness and contrast, and then cropping.)
Yesterday, while on the road, I was continuously falling in and out of sleep. Jay kept joking that I was doing what I do best - "photographing with my mind."
It was funny, but I realized I really do that. I tend to stare. I let my gaze linger at the features, taking in the smallest details of people and places I like so that I can remember them. I particularly have a penchant for hands, and all the lines it has; and the eyes, and its color, and the maps that form in its sinews.
It makes me believe that they will be with me forever, even if it's just in my mind.
