"Say Cheese" A quick flash of the camera blinded me. The sound of crackling from the old machine seemed to echo through the room. I blinked rapidly trying to adjust my eyes from the onslaught of light that had attacked my eyes. No matter how many times that light flashed I never got tired of it. 

I was always fractionated with cameras, new and old. Capturing story's within a small frame, telling a million words in just a few seconds. Whether it be a tragedy, a romance, or a tall-tale, it didn't matter. But I didn't like the generic photos, the ones where you are told to "Sit down, straighten your back, tilt your head... a little bit more and say cheese" I wanted more than that, I wanted to write a novel with just a few pixels in a storage, I wanted to express myself through a camera lens like no one has before.
