Something just occurred to me

[madNbad]

Last week we went to the coast for an over night trip and after returning I still had about a half of a 36 exposure roll in the M4. I started out towards one of my regular spots which is normally busy on the weekends. My first trip through, someone scooted trough a stop sign in front of me and took the parking spot I was headed for. Abandoned that idea and found some construction equipment and used the rest of the roll there. Still had a roll of Tri-X in my pocket, loaded the camera and headed back to Multnomah Village for one more try. Turned a corner and there was an open parking spot! Got out of the car and began to wander. I was walking past a consignment clothing shop and the proprietor had a cell phone on a tripod and was making a video of a young woman modeling an outfit. I stopped, I had my L-308 in had and took an incident reading for fun, we chatted for a bit, they asked about my camera and I gave them a few suggestions on how to improve lighting. Wished them a pleasant day then continued on to photograph some crumbling concrete.

What occurred to you?

 

[greg zinselmeier]

I’m confused too, was it ( the thing occurred to you) that you had film left in your camera? Or that you should take the opportunity to go out and photograph something? Either way , sounds like you had a great time!!! Serendipity is sure nice

 

[madNbad]

How about I passed up the opportunity to photograph a young model and decided to focus on the texture of crumbling concrete. Make sense now?

It is sort of like a Robert Altman movie

Somehow, this was more interesting than a attractive young model:

It will get you into a lot less trouble, though.

Words of wisdom.

So you ran into a brick [block] wall? Did that hurt?

No but my wife hopes it knocks some sense into me.

No but my wife hopes it knocks some sense into me.

Why? Are her arms tired?

Too much 'photography hormone' or 'too low testesterone'...need a lab test to figure out which
