Today at the zoo there was this couple. They seemed to be on the same route we were on and we ran into them at each major display. I had noticed them relatively early on because he was taller than me. Like 6’ 6” or something. He also looked like a singer for a boy band. She was very small. At first it looked like a guy and his little sister, except for her outfit and heels. Oh, and the making out. They were really hawt, other than the comical difference in stature.

Anyhoo, they were a very cute couple. When we bumped into them for the eighth time she out of nowhere asked if I could take a picture. “What, huh?” I asked, unsure if she was speaking to me from down there. I finally got it, as it were (she didn’t even say excuse me or please). I was happy to comply. How do you mess up a photo of pretty people? Okay, and she had the best camera ever. It was so small! Well perfect for her actually. I wish I had looked at the brand. It made little boxes around their heads to help frame the photo. But it turned out that that was my issue. I mean he squatted and stuff. Totally at the ready for the difference in height. Such a prince, really. But she was so small. So small. Plus as I was focusing, she wanted me to be sure to get the flamingos in the background. You know, the ones over the fence and bushes. Hrm. No matter what I tried as I looked into the lens there was no way to frame them in an equal manner and get the birds. At least not from my height. So I took artistic license and well, I got him in the middle, birds over his shoulder, and I *think* her head was showing. The boxes the camera made showed that he was clearly the center of the photo. Not to mention the way I had struggled with the framing and hesitated. I caught them totally natural. She was short and annoyed and he looked slightly amused and really happy/hawt with flamingos around him. Heheh.

You know, if I were him I’d crop that down and make it my MySpace photo. It was that good. Just sayin.
