well i thought i'd be different and choose the wedding
* spinefex ---
um yeah i chose the wedding photo.
story is from fathers point of view as he sits in his bedroom looking through a photo album of his daughter. as he looks at each photo he recalls the memories and comments on how she has changed and matured into who she is now. each photo is from a different time in her life. going from her birth, to her first step, to her first toy (lame), to her first day at school, to her nearly dying in hospital due to a fever, to her last day at high school, to her first job, to her first love. and now to her marriage.
at the end he gets up and walks through the doors out into the world just before he has to walk his daughter down the aisle, and he mentions something about pictures, in a way, being a canvas on which we paint out own future, and from now on, his daughter is able to 'paint her own canvas'
i also made an attempt to hav a extended metaphor going through the whole story but i started of good, forgot all about it in the middle and brought it back at the end... it was basically a 'rose in a garden of weeds' metaphor
anyways good luck everyone
