A PHOTOGRAPH

User Rating:

9.0 /10
(6 votes)



  This one is of the two of us at Grune Point
on a freezing cold day in January
huddled together like Vincent and Theo Van Gogh in Paradise are
with long coats on, in a reoccurring dream of mine.

You and I, we are the bits and pieces of a life
where all that matters is love.

David Harkins

The last line tells the heart of the photograph. Every photo for that matter tells the same story but you said it!
