Birthday Smile
FOUND by Nate Morehouse
in Tempe, Arizona
I found this abused Polaroid stuffed into the center of a Cholla cactus. The girl's birthday smile seems at odds with the treatment of the photo, which is crumpled and slightly burned in one corner. Perhaps due to anger between mother (maybe the woman with a matching smile in the background) and father, now no longer on speaking terms? Or a rebellious move by the subject of the photo, now a teenager? And what's up with the giant stuffed tarantula in the bottom left?

a mother remembering the innocence of a child she feels as though she doesnt know anymore.
It appears to be a Halloween picture. The girl looks like she is dressed like a princess. This would explain the spider in the picture. Maybe the girl is grown now and has done something bad and can't stand to look at such an innocent picture of herself.
the little girl looks like an angel with a glow around her and in away she stands out as if she doesn't belong in this photo at all.
the spider is creepy. seriously, nightmare worthy creep.
maybe that "smile" is a grimace of terror.
or maybe not.
honestly, not that you may have cared, but the sider is a cheap novelty toy you can purchase at iParty for Halloween. I have one, my neighbours do, too, et cetra. :)
Cool, she's protected by a triangular aura! I'm gonna get me one
safe, and it appears that said triangular aura emanates from the "mother's" arms. strange.
This picture is gorgeous. Don't ask me why, but there seems to be such a story to it. I find it absolutely amazing.
my guess is this picture was taken around halloween!!!
this is weird. I'm clicking on 'find of the day', expecting today's (feb 12, 2008) find, and i'm directed here. 2years and one month in the past.... second time today this happens.
The triangular ray she is in looks like an ultrasound photo!
