passport photos

i walked past this little scrap of paper yesterday morning and after a few steps i thought “i wonder if that’s a passport photo”, so i went back and found it again.
here’s a photo of it. it was stuck in a muddy puddle under a little bush on the edge of the road.

i managed to kick it out from under the bush and flip it over and it WAS a passport photo !

once i knew what it was i was happy to put my hand in the muddy rain to retrieve it for the collection.

i can’t explain the joy of finding a genuine passport photo, especially in such unlikely circumstances. so i won’t.
