Drink up London, ON July 2021 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
My memories of childhood are fuzzy at best, but I’m reasonably sure the no-play warning didn’t apply to glasses of water. Because in my convoluted world, water isn’t technically food, and I was always a challenging child looking for a loophole.
And apparently a challenging adult, too, from the looks of this photo.
The light was just so. The condensation had a texture all its own. And while the rest of my fam chatted away, I quietly composed the scene on my phone and snagged a few frames before anyone noticed what I was up to.
I didn’t end up playing with my food, which I’m guessing won’t make up for all the hell I raised at - and beyond - the dinner table as I was growing up.
But I got the photo I set out to get. And in the process managed to freeze-in-time the memory of a moment that mattered to my family.
If it meant breaking a meaningless rule from long ago along the way, I’m fine with it. Photography isn’t about following the rules, anyway.
