Clicking (Love's Landscapes)
Alex Gale

I’ve started to fall in love slowly with this man in the picture. I am a freelance photographer and got invited to take pictures of a band while they are on tour. This doesn’t only include pictures of them performing, but also of them backstage and sometimes even on their days off. This man is one of the band members and through all the pictures I’ve taken of him I feel so close to him, but we haven’t even had a real conversation. A couple days ago I took this picture when his daughter visited (I didn’t even know he had a daughter, though now it makes sense he kept mentioning a girl to the other band members). Seeing him with her I knew there was no back for me: I’m completely in love with this man. I just hope I have to guts to approach him (like I have a chance with a man like that… I don’t even know if he’s gay. He has a daughter, for Christ’s sake!), because the tour is almost over and the possibility of us meeting again is very slim.
Photo Description:
A heavily-tattooed man, wearing aviators and a white cotton V-neck T-shirt, is carrying a beautiful, blonde baby girl. She’s about a year old and wearing a little pink dress. The man is holding her tightly and kissing her sweetly on the cheek as she smiles.
