DSED #5: Something Precious

Today's task was to give someone something precious of mine that won't mean as much to them as it does to me. I made this one up purely as an act of self-torture, because I'm kind of a hoarder when it comes to sentimental objects and I like forcing myself into situations like this.

I knew I would be seeing Katie today so I pulled down my shoebox of little knick-knacks I've collected over the years and picked out the perfect thing: a seashell she picked up on the beach the first day we did pictures (the day that started my photography obsession). It was supposed to be hers anyway, so it would make some small amount of sense for me to give it to her, even if I was a few years late.

She seemed kind of confused by the gesture, but she knows about this silly little project of mine and accepted it in stride. So, all in all, it wasn't a very difficult task.
