This is one of the last pictures of Kyle, taken at the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival 2007. Yuma says that he and Kyle "had basically stayed up all night and were hanging out in the camp as the sun rose, just talking and bullshitting, telling people to watch the sun rise; so our friend Abby comes out and takes some pictures, and we take some pictures of the sunrise. The one with Kyle holding out his arms was taken right after Kyle proclaiming to Abby that 'He's so handsome!' The lighting effects were all there from the camera."

This photograph is remarkable. The look on Kyle's face, the lighting effects, the angle, the color - even the shadow running down the center of Kyle's body. The whole composition is oddly like, well, like some of the graffiti that I have been getting to know through images of Kyle's art. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it - but the whole photograph would make a very cool painting of Kyle.
It seems from reading your blog, that remembering this tragic time one year ago has been just as you said on the phone. I'm so thankful that even though we could not be there for that day, you were surrounded by the right people at the right time. And I am even more thankful that it ended perfectly in the arms of love.
So Many Hugs.
