Tribute to Closed Eyes Pictures


"Oh, your eyes are closed." He said.

"Let's take another one." She said.

With the advent of the digital camera closed eye pictures are now a rare and endangered entity. A simple few clicks and they are deleted from digital cameras, computers, and rarely ever printed at Extra Foods and Walmart.
Oh, closed eyes pictures, i pine for you. I long for the days gone by when, inevitably, i would return from developing over priced film pictures only to find that in every single one there was someone with their eyes closed. i long for those disappointing moments now, as your imminent extinction only reminds me of the other things that we have lost with the boom of technology and industry: the parlor and tea on Sundays, long walks in the woods, homemade soup, chivalry.
When you disappear, oh closed eyes pictures, it is only a matter of moments before all that is right and good and pure in the world follows your demise.
