she fell for it...

i like to use the old "don't mind me - i need to fire a few test shots" line to let people loosen up in front of the camera.

she reeeally loosened up.

so, this is allie, my best friend of 11 years. we realized a few months ago that during our friendship, we've lived at least across the country (and for some time, across a country and an ocean) more than we've lived in the same state. if my math is correct, she was in england for 2.5 years, at undergrad school in massachusetts for 4, and now in boston for grad school - one year down, one to go. that's 7.5 years, right?

but she's still my best girlfriend, and no matter how long it's been since we talked last, we can always pick up right where we left off.

and she'll sit in front of my camera anytime i ask. definitely a bonus.
