Photograph 2

He has his head turned away, but a slight smirk suggests he knows he’s getting his photo taken. And that he’s comfortable with the photographer. The smirk looks content, not mischievous, and his eyes are shut. Probably to block out the sun.

He holds his arms tight along the side of his body. His pale, bare torso, belly up to the sky. The inflatable tube holding him above water has a watermelon pattern. Red and black, with scattered seeds.

He wears black shorts and short brown hair. Both contrast with his skin. Though the photo doesn’t show much of it, the water looks calm. Like his simple smile.
