Always Becoming
March 8, 2007
Jon posted this picture and I was thunderstruck. The facial expression of the bride, the way the groom holds himself so that it is almost like a caricature of who he was before he was disfigured… I have to admit that my first thought was “I wonder what she is thinking?” and a narrative was building in my head of someone committed to getting married before the injury and the immense pressure she would feel to follow through.
But the rest of the photo gallery tells a different, perhaps happier story. The pictures from before the groom went to war to later pictures which aren’t quite so… ambiguous.

It’s funny, the bride and groom almost look like they could be siblings in the first photo. Same nose, same eyes, same smile. Yet they look obviously, saliently different from each other in the other photos.

Too bad the photos are no longer available (”This story is no longer viewable to the public on the Redux Archive. Contact Redux Pictures for licensing information.”) I better stay on the ball and keep up here!
