This girl British Danielle was doing a series of polaroids of people she met in her travels across America. I was her last picture on her last roll of polaroid film on her last day in America:

It didn’t really come out (either because it was the end of the roll or for supernatural reasons).

If you look real close, you can make out the shape of me sitting cross-legged yoga-style-if-I-did-yoga in the middle of a Texas street at sunset. Without a thought in my mind.

“Real romantics,” I seem to remember saying, “don’t beleive in love.”

Wow.
