This shot does not reflect our day. Sure, it was taken today, and this whole project thing is about one little snippet. But this moment doesn't illustrate ransacking a significant area in the children's section at the library. Or slipping on the ice and landing on my wrist. Or most of lunch jumping ship for the floor. Or the tug-of-war with today's newspaper before it was thoroughly read. Or the newly clean white laundry load pretending to be snowfall. And it certainly does not begin to convey what I saw when I took off my lens cap and found the lens shattered (thank God the filter took the hit). No, this quiet, calm moment between Charlie and Lou is the antithesis of our day, and what I would much rather remember.
All who know Charlie understand that this sweet, quiet photo belies the tornado swirling inside. The trick, in the next photo, is to capture both -- his sweetness and holy terror! Gotta love him, though.
