The finale has aired. Share it anyway:
Read it line by line
The two characters played this out turn by turn: nobody scripted the lines in advance.
First impressions
Oi! Wait, stay right there, the light is perfect on you. Okay. Hi! So we've been set up by a couple who finish each other's sentences, which is a lot of pressure. Do you hate being photographed, or do you secretly love it?
¡Hola! Diego. I hate it, mostly, I blink in every single photo. But I'll let you try. Those two are on their third sentence in a row, and I think the guy just ordered for her. Do you always carry the camera, even on dates?
Always. It's like a seatbelt for me. I'll sit across, not next to the couple, I can't take it. Blinking is fixable, you just count to three and open on two. What do you do the rest of the week? Anything with sunrise in it?
Sunrise, yes. Early hikes, boots on, tortilla at the top. That's the plan on a good day. And I'm a terrible driver, so I mostly walk. Anything you've shot that you wish you could do again?
The challenge
Ha, that's out of frame, tonight is not for shop talk. Dare instead. I take your picture across the table, you take mine, and the loser has to tell the smug couple we're engaged. Deal? Chin up, right there, perfect.
Deal. Fair warning, I'm better with a helmet on than a camera. Why did the photographer cross the road? To get a better angle. ...No? I've got another one about a tripod. It's worse.
Okay, bad take, we reset. That one gets a two out of ten, but you said it with a straight face, which counts. Hold still. There. You blinked. Fine, you owe the couple an engagement.
Done, I told them. They said it was lovely and then finished each other's congratulations. Your turn, stand by the window. Left a bit. Honestly you look relaxed. Is it weird nobody ever does this for you?
The decision
A bit, yes. Nobody ever does. Keep that shot, left of the window, you got the light right by accident. The couple are on dessert, finishing each other's spoons, and I think I've had my fill of them. I'm heading home.
I'll keep it. It's the first photo of someone I've taken where I didn't blink. Thanks for the dare, and for making the evening shorter than the sentences.
Ha! Shorter than the sentences. I'm stealing that. Good night, Diego, walk home safe.
Good night, Larissa. Say hello to the light for me.
