the story of my favorite picture

i found a photo of a worn down chair in a field somewhere in blogland and immediately fell in love. i mean, i loved it. i have always been a lover of juxtaposition and things in unexpected places. there is nothing more beautiful than seeing something beautiful in a place that at first glance would not be considered the most beautiful. but to me, these places have so much potential and can be the most beautiful. especially when something beautiful is placed in that setting.

i talked with handsome about this photo and how much i loved it. i think i even showed it to him once. everytime we were around a field, we would talk about the picture and discuss what aspects of the field could be changed in order to make it the absolute perfect field for a photo.

we were headed to the petrified forest while on vacation to the grand canyon and realized we were surrounded by the most perfect field! it was flat, with long dead grass and was pretty much free of trees. that's when handsome suggested, why dont we take a picture in this field? completely caught off guard and super excited, i immediately agreed and we pulled over. handsome decided to put our cooler in the field so we could sit on it. i balanced my polaroid camera on top of the car and when i felt it was set up properly, i turned on the self timer and ran to the cooler. the polaroid ejected and i quickly grabbed it and put it in the car to protect it from the cold wind. we packed up the cooler and continued on our way. i turned over the picture and it was the most perfect picture i had ever seen! it is absolutely impossible for the colors to come out any more perfect! i talked about it and how perfect it was for pretty much the entire car ride home. i am sure it was annoying, but i just couldn't help it! i still love it just the same and look at it almost every time i walk in the door of my apartment. i love it so much!


love.
