Sinister: my little ink polaroid

[Schaffenberger]

At long last, here is my ink polaroid:  This was taken on Saturday at 
Brackenridge Park.  Boyfriendish Ian sits on a white carousel horse whose 
saddle is decorated with stars.  His decision to sit on this particular 
horse, on the outside circle of horses on the carousel, was a result of 
my horse choice: a white filly with charcoal mane and tail.  Her head is 
reared triumphantly, her saddle blanket striped.  All you can see in the 
picture is the back of my head and shoulders, but my alert body posture 
and tipped head lets you know that I'm smiling, maybe even laughing, 
under the shade of the carousel.  A backlit Ian rests his head against 
the pole, smiling with his mouth closed in the sun.  He looks rather 
handsome in his blue Yo La Tengo shirt and khaki pants.  One hand is 
wrapped around the pole, above his head.  The other rests on his knee.  
Behind him is a crowd of people wandering through the park, going to the 
paddle boats, to feed the ducks, to ride the train or the skylift, or to 
visit the zoo.  All of these anonymous folk look strangely happy, very 
beautiful.  Looking at this print, you can't help but feel a trememdous 
sense of well-being.

Enough mush.

I have to write a lot of final papers.  Ick.

Love,
Kristen
