"why the chair? because i'm waiting to the rain" an odd photo story
this story is weird since the begining till the end. just figure it out, i was trying to get sleep one night of heavy rain, when suddenly it came to me this idea of a photo where i`m pretending to sunbathing in the rain. I thought it would be awesome and i liked instantly, but then i ask to myself how?. the first thing I do was to go down in my attic and look for beach chairs and summer clothes (that same night, i'm not kidding). then i realise that the thursday i was going to take the picture (the next day of my thought) it would rain at 17:00 so it's going to be very cold and i didn't want to get sick. soon i realise that i have to pose in the picture and somebody else has to take it (considering that none of my friends or family would like to pose in a swimsuit in the middle of the rain). at first i thought of my friend bonilla and he actually say yes but he didn't show up that day, so i have to ask my other friend Pato ,who wasn't really know how to handle my old camera very well, but i was on a rush because that day will be the only one who will have that heavy rain that you can see in the picture so i trusted him the destiny of this "dream" picture. the most oddly thing was that for an entire day i have to be with the beach chair in a bag, so when people ask "why the chair?" I answer "because i'm waiting to the rain" and they really think i was crazy. in some way they were right haha. The picture was taken near the volleyball court of my university and this big lake that was starting to form in the dirt for all the rain. I think that i was half an hour in the rain meanwhile my friend tried to figure it out how to focus the lens, but by the end I have to admit that it went very well. Now that the picture is upload I can think that the message it has is "i miss summer and by all that means" so i can assure that this is one of my favorite pictures.
ReplyDeleteI laughed a lot while reading the story behind the photo.....
