Pictures of who they used to be--
Did they realize who and what they would become?
Did they want to become who they are now?
Raised upon vanity.
Snapshots of how things used to be.
Those people in the pictures, bare a different struggle then they do now;
A struggle which might, otherwise, have been forgotten.
But now, the happiest- perhaps feigned- moment is preserved;
For all to see.
For all to envy.
For all to remember.
If every picture was captioned by both, the person in the picture, and the person who took the picture...
What might such insight reveal?
In one case, the photographer might've insisted on taking such a snapshot;
In another, one might've begged a stranger to help them preserve a moment in time--
A moment, in which, is soon contaminated by two little words:
"Say Cheese".
