It was when I with fingers like wands,
curled your lips into a smile,
that I hoped you realized that I,
and only I will be the orchestrator
of the greatest happiness your life will ever know.
– Tyler Knott
In French, you don’t really say “I miss you.”
You say “tu me manques” which is closer to
“you are missing from me.”
You are a part of me, you are essential to my being.
I took my film camera to Paris in May. I had a few struggles learning how to wind the film, remembering to wind the film before opening it and yes, even manually focusing. But this is what I got, even with the mistakes the pictures to me are beautiful. This is Paris through my eyes.
