marian the librarian

ok. well her name is melissa. but close right. she graciously modeled for kristen and i [per kristen's request] for our "executive" shoot. for portrait class.

i love her vintage dress. and the monochromatic composition.

she's gorgeous. and was perfect for the shoot.

i love the ancient books in the library.

kristen and i were not looking forward to this, but really got into it.

they turned out great.

i saw the cutest old man

driving next to me today.

he was wrinkled.

he was wise.

he wore a fedora with a thick ribbon on it.

and a mustard cardigan.

he drove an old, light blue chevy wagon of some sort.

i wish i had my camera.

i wish i could have followed him home.

or jumped in his car.

i wonder if he would have let me adopt him.

visit him everyday.

listening to his stories.

taking his photograph.

i wonder if he is lonely, if he has children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren.

i can just imagine his life in my head. timeless like movie. full of love + life + hardship.

i think i fell in love.

he was adorable.

i think i will miss rexburg when i'm gone.
