“Wherever it is, just promise me that
if you get a camera full of pictures of
my ex-girlfriend in union with a
Spanish coastguard you won’t tell
me.”
“One of the children decided to
start shining the light into my
eyes from across the yard. So I
played a along by dodging in and
out of the pillars to hide and
snapped the last couple of shots
on the roll as I did so.
The little girl’s parents had died
in a housefire two weeks before
but she was so full of life you
couldn’t help liking her.”
“that cam was like a sign to say
‘you’re not alone, that will be the
present for your birthday’..”
