Photography is much like a wave crashing on a rock. You choose the subject …
then aim for the subject …
and when you are all ready to take the shot …
the subject strikes back! I was attempting to shoot a flying seagull. As I was panning, I felt something hit my hand. I didn’t take the shot, and when I looked, I had seagull poop on my hand, and splatter on my hoody.
Photography is dangerous!
