Flowers, Light, and an Angel
I'm poor. (Actually, I'm rich as hell, in relative terms... in the top five percent globally. I, and many of the rest of my cohort should remember that.) I can't afford a speedlite. Not even a second hand one on amazon. Therefore, I gotta 50mm1.4, and try like hell to avoid onboard flash. Tonight, and nights like this, ya gotta have something, so I used the ol' 'bounce the flash off the ceiling with a reflector' method. Must not have held my reflector quite right :D
I have been shooting the hell out of Stella, my girlfriend's daughter. At two years old, she is at an age I have no experience with. I get more attention when I ignore her, than when I chase her. Once she's warmed up, we get along famously. She crawls all over me, and lets me throw her in the air. Everything is "MINE!"
The other night, we were foolin' around... I would touch her nose, and say, "MY nose!" and she would disagree... Then I would do an ear, a knee, an elbow. At one point of the game she became sweetly affectionate, kissing me several times (while Stel doesn't hesitate to crawl on me, her hugs are rare, and kisses for me are nearly unheard of. I can still count every one.) She placed a finger on my chest and indicated that I belonged to her with a peculiar intensity. I was sure I must have misunderstood the Stelspeak, until I heard her mother gasp.
I wanted a dragon to show up, so I could kill it for her.
I think I'm in trouble.
