i’ve always had the same problems,

joints

and its more than the normal click and pop.

so… tonight…

as I was setting up a shot,

a portrait shot,

my shoulder went.

so there I lay

still and silent

avoiding the striking pain of movement

sweat forming on my brow

deep slow, calming breaths

planning a next move

it seemed like forever

when out of nowhere

the 10sec timer ran out

<>

the room seemed to shake as the mirror slammed up

the shutter opened

the flash fired

capturing my blank faced desperation
