My Backdrop is Yellow
The yellow backdrop did not merely arrive; it emerged as though unearthed from the depths of time, like something forgotten yet familiar. Standing against the ballroom’s muted grandeur, it appeared both out of place and exactly where it belonged—soft, resolute, and waiting. It was not just a backdrop; it was a memory.
Yellow has always lived at the edges of understanding. Too bold to fade into the background, too subdued to steal attention. It exists in a space between extremes, neither fire nor shadow, but something quieter: the slow-burning light of an oil lamp, the golden glint of a letterbox on an old street, the faded glow of sunlit curtains in empty rooms. Yellow remembers what we often forget.
When the families arrived, they brought their laughter, their closeness, and their stories—but Yellow was the first to notice them. It lingered in the warmth of a held hand, in the soft murmur of a child’s question. It bore witness not as a silent observer, but as an intimate accomplice, amplifying what might otherwise pass unnoticed. In Yellow’s presence, the ordinary became sacred. A fleeting smile held the weight of years, a stolen glance spoke of unspoken bonds.
As I framed each shot, I began to understand: Yellow was not merely a color. It was time itself, paused. It was the glow of memories before they fade, the stillness that precedes change, the quiet resilience of life’s in-betweens.
Through my lens, Yellow invited me to look again—to see not just the families before me, but the stories they carried. It reminded me that beauty lies not in the obvious, but in the details we allow ourselves to notice.
And so, Yellow waits quietly for you too—to step into its light, to leave behind a story of your own.
