HANNAH
How can our siblings make us feel aggravation and adoration toward
them, simultaneously? It’s something I contemplate after reading my
brother’s last text message.
HOLT
Hey, meet me at the pub tonight around five, please? It’s
extremely important!!
Not only has he assumed I didn’t have plans tonight (I didn’t), but he’s
disregarded the fact that I’m avoiding all contact with his best friend, AKA
the owner of said pub (he doesn’t know). Come on, Holt. How dare you?
I throw my phone at the couch across the room and it bounces off onto
the floor, but I don’t care. If I avoid the offending device long enough,
maybe I can pretend I didn’t see his message. He’s known for his dramatics,
so his insistence that it’s important is surely another over-exaggeration. I retuck the sides of my blanket under my legs, with my laptop teetering on my
knobby knees, and an episode of Gilmore Girls playing quietly in the
background.
I usually edit at the comfort of my desk and the expensive desk chair I
bought when I moved in with my best friend Val about a year ago. It’s May,
so my photography schedule is picking back up after my post-holiday lull
that sneaks up every year between mid-December to early April. In fact, I
shot an engagement session for one of my summer wedding couples the
other day. I was trying to edit said session when I finally moved out to the
living room.
Val almost moved across the country, but decided to stay right before
her college graduation. We moved in together in the house she grew up in a
week later. She lost both her parents when we were still in high school. It
took her years to come back to the place. I think we’ve done a great job of
making it our own, if I say so myself.
Instead of the few clicks I usually make in my editing software for each
photo, I exhausted my usual tricks to make it pop, and still hated every
photo I’d taken. It had nothing to do with the subjects themselves. They’re
gorgeous—I’m not sure I could have gotten better models if I’d tried.
No, it’s everything to do with me.
I’m a complete fraud. I’ve made a name for myself in the local wedding
world with the work I’ve done in the past few years. That recent success is
thanks to finding an occupation I love.
I fell in love with photography from my first shutter click when I was a
child, where I got my first camera from—coincidentally—my brother’s best
friend, Miles. A vintage 1976 Canon AE-1 35mm camera that I still use
from time to time.
I lean back with a groan, my chair reclining with the pressure. I take a
deep breath and slam my laptop closed.
