This picture is an outtake from my brother Eddie's confirmation. I was his sponsor, which explains why I'm dressed up. The photo struck me out of the 30 or so from the confirmation service because of its out of pose nature. If I recall correctly, we had just finished taking out photos outdoors and Eddie was glad to be done. He yanked that tie off as fast as he could. I remember those days, about young to the end o high school. The tie was like the stranglehold of authority and life, as if it might cut off oxygen at any moment. The sooner you got it off, the better. As for me, I like dressing up. I look sharp.
