When It Rains

By

It’s been raining for days. There have been moments of pause, but they’ve been gray and mostly wet. Sloshing through puddles and damp air, the sky offers a dim setting. She reaches for her polka dot boots and red rain coat. My black umbrella. I focus on my girl and desaturate the image, thankful for the evidence of motion. There is warmth and light tucked beneath that umbrella. Sun waiting on the rain.

What do you see in the rain?

I shot this image with my iPhone 4 and processed it initially using Photo fx and Instagram. Using Aperture on my desktop, I reduced highlights, decreased saturation and added a slight vignette.
