Sunshine, green grass and your home yard. The perfect atmosphere for a small photograph.

Chandler stared at the small screen of his new gift for a long time, shifting his gaze back and forth to the photo that had just popped out of the little device. The guy's prolonged inaction was understandable, for the little photo in his hands was not at all what Chаn had hoped for. The horrible backlight ruining the photo and the strange objects in the background only served as a distraction.

Who would have thought that taking pictures was such a difficult endeavor.... Sure, it seemed like all you had to do was pick up the camera in your hand, point it at yourself, and cheerfully press one single button. But... he realized that there was more preparation to be done.

Preparing the background, tweaking the focus and figuring out the pose didn't take that long, unlike picking an angle. Several attempts went by, to which Chandler decided: "This one will be the last one.".

An hour passed. Chandler sat down tiredly on the ground, holding the last photo in his hand. A silly sense of victory played inside him. The picture was a simple one, a millimeter different from all the ones before it. Despite his tired state, fiddling with his new present was fun. Not only did the unnecessary fiddling not ruin the day, but it left a nice feeling behind.

His tired body collapsed into bed, contentedly climbing into her phone. The little picture on the fridge seemed perfect after all the attempts. Still, the perfect atmosphere for a small photo.
