In the back of my refrigerator, there lived a cardboard box. This box held undeveloped film, as well as scads of developed rolls that I hadn't touched in, well, who knows how long. Recently, I dropped it off to be processed at the corner store.

The rolls came from at least three years back, shortly after Stephen and I married, before my nephew Michale was born. This portrait of Stephen was taken during a period of long hair, sitting on a dock at his grandmother's house in Mandarin, Florida. I love how contemplative it is, and even though the angle's a little cockeyed, I think it suits the mood well.

Taken with Fujifilm NPH 400 film.
