Pictures in my head

I have this photograph in my head that will never be able to be developed. A few years ago I was traveling back to Michigan from Minnesota with a close relative of mine. Her husband was also going to Michigan but they were driving separately. They went to kiss each other mid-stride while walking to their vehicles. I think it was raining. She was wearing a bright blue jacket. It was such a casual thing but the fact that they were still moving, and the color of the jacket, and the rain (I think it was raining) made it such a picturesque moment. I wish I had had my camera ready at just that moment so I could have given the picture to that particular couple. It probably wouldn't have turned out quite like it appears in my mind but still...
And speaking of pictures of couples, I wish I could have someone follow Jeff and me around and photograph us in our day-to-day lives. Sometimes the little moments are the ones that really count.

I totally agree about a photographer following you around, After a while posed pictures all look the same.

And I often think, man - it would be fun to just follow people around and take pictures of their everyday moments! I wonder if there is a market for that - and how would I market myself without making myself seem all nosy?
