new year's eve 2009

bar

light
This night I watched a man at the bar stroke his wife's hair over and over again. I watched women and men stumble around the makeshift dance floor in front of the band. I watched my husband strain to hit some high notes while nailing most of them. I crouched in corners behind my camera. If life was a spectator sport, I'd be world champion.

  2. A man with a microphone and a girl with a camera. That, my friend, is a nice combination indeed.
