They were my two favorites from the batch. I need to print them because I find myself sitting here staring at them for long periods of time. Trying to see them as other people see them, wondering if I see them they way they really are or if my own issues get in the way of seeing them clearly. Wondering why Mari always slouches, why Luci makes faces for the camera, why Zoe never looks as beautiful in pictures as she seems to be in real life. Mari is by far the most photogenic. It isn't that she doesn't look pretty in person, but sometimes pictures of her surpise me because she gets captured in her "best light" so frequently by the camera. But Zoe never looks quite right to me in pictures. People make comments on Zoe's beauty, randomly, in stores and on the street. But it never comes out in pictures. The swing picture seems to catch a little of it.

Way too much pondering over a couple of pictures.
