"why do you take so many pictures, khris?"
"get that camera out of my face, dude, it's annoying."
i want to, no, have to capture everything. i don't want to forget what this felt like. laughing at band practice, talking shit in the school bathroom, walking at 7 p.m when the sky is blue and makes everything else look a little blue, too. or when my mom's in a rare good mood and turns the radio way up with the windows down and me and my little sister sing along at the top of our lungs to old 90s and 2000s songs we don't know the meaning of.
i'm always behind the camera, instead of "living in the moment." but that's alright with me. as long as i don't forget this. the little moments you don't think twice about, i want to repeat over and over again, watching it with a big, perhaps a little dopey, grin on my face.
i'm going to be that overly sentimental senior that's going to bawl like a baby when i graduate. i say i hate high school, but secretly i want to stay forever because this was my home when my own was cruel.
i don't want to forget the kid who gave me answers in history freshman year because he knew i could barely get out of bed. i don't want to forget the girl who's name i never asked for who always let me hit her pen without getting irritated about me asking. i don't want to forget.

no problem with this, but this is probably what my mum thinks whenever we go eat out i already know the drill to wait for her to take a photo of the food. one time, she was really playing with fire by taking photos of the sky behind the wheel. wowzers

Fr this is so true but i would really like to take pictures with an old camera yk. the one you can bring around in your purse or sum and the photos will look like they are from LLOOONG ago but really they are like 5 days old or sum. I want the feeling i feel when i look at old pictures from my parents when they were young.

Just checked it out, does it have that ''old'' looking effect or is it more professional look with many pixels?
