I woke up today, ended up spending some time on Youtube browsing through variations of Pachelbel’s canon in D.  It always saddens me, it evokes memories and imaginations, I’ll see images of people leaving and turning back to take a look, where the sadness is in the person leaving or in the person watching the person leaving.  Odd, I guess, maybe, seeing how it’s a piece of music often used by people at their weddings.  I’m a strange one maybe.

I ended up remembering a shot I took of the one woman I ever loved.  We had gone to the Philadelphia zoo one day and at one point I got the camera set and got her attention so her head turned and she looked back over her shoulder at me.  My camera click found a good moment, catching her bit of surprise at the camera and in the picture she looked absolutely beautiful to me with her long dark curly hair and the look back of surprise.

I haven’t been to the zoo ever since that day again.  I ran by it last year when I ran the half-marathon, I thought about her while I ran by it.  Soon after the zoo there was that little downhill before the hard uphill to get to the summit of the hill from which only 5 kilometers would remain to run.

So there it is, there it goes.
