Photographs Taken Of Me In Daylight

all of these were somebody else's idea
the shopping centre. i was there for one specific shop and it had closed down.
sunday. i ate everything on the plate. that was not the part being discussed.
i brought my own shade. everybody had an opinion about my own shade.
my cousin turned six. i did the whole party. no hat, but the whole party.
photo day. i was asked to move to the end of the bench and i understood why.
and this is a normal afternoon, for comparison.
