I took this photo three years ago, in the North East of England (Newcastle), and while I am under no illusions as to how normal an image it is, it holds a special place for me.

The guy pictured was a housemate, and this image is all I need glance at to recount a dozen tales, picture his room and hear his voice. Nothing creepy, just good memories of good times.

As splendid as it is to have this captured moment, to bring me back, it actually saddens me, for this is one of the only images I have like this, despite all the people who I have known.

I should have taken more, I wish I’d taken more.
