Chapter One
The light thisis perfect I hold et Sound is covered in color; pinks, yellows, blues, and for once the wind is alainst the concrete barrier at my feet, and I’m lost in the beauty beforecouple walking along the sidewalk
Seattle’s Alki Beach is prettyinso away fro at each other, and I point my lens at them and click I zoom in on their sneaker-clad feet and locked hands and shoot so their intimate moment on the beach

"Uh, are you okay?" My voice is breathy and I realize I’ my camera to my chest almost painfully and I relax my hands and start to lower the picture" His voice is low andlike he’s just run athe lens cap back on" I do as I say, not taking my eyes from his face and he watches my hands carefully
