Perseption Is Everything, But ......

Sometimes, images are just waiting to happen. For more than a decade, I have not gone anywhere without my camera riding  next to me on the passenger seat. It's an old trick that I learned from a friend of mine who was an AP photographer for many years. In fact, he was the same guy that would shimmy thirty feet out on an I-beam that was seven-hundred feet up on a job site just to get a shot of  several iron workers eating their lunch on that same I-beam.  Steve was patient (and a bit crazy) for sure.

At this time of year, I make my rounds to include a few cemetery visits of people that I have known and worked with in the past. While doing that yesterday, a rare moment began to unfold right before my eyes. Instinctively, I reached for the camera. While the opportunity presented itself, it did not present itself in ideal conditions but none-the-less, I got the shot through my dirty windshield and being on the wrong side of the truck. All that aside, afterwords, my thinking was---how many people have ever seen the particular setup?  That's what makes it one of those rare shots.
