Like the rear driver-side tire on my wife's car, which I captured as I waited for the fuel pump to print the receipt. Winter tires make for great mood and texture shots, don't they?
I was working quickly, as I could hear the printer spooling up, and I'm pretty sure the guy waiting in the car behind me was shooting lasers at me from behind the wheel. I managed to rack off one frame before I noticed the paper slowly feeding out of the bottom of the slot and flapping in the subzero wind.
I grabbed it and jumped in the car, never once looking at the receipt or laser guy behind me. I waved furtively into the rearview - I am a stereotypically polite Canadian, after all - and carefully pulled into the busy parking lot and headed for the onramp.
It made my wife, whose hospitalized dad we were heading to see, smile. Which made all the laser-stares, flapping paper and dirty knees from composing at ground level in a filthy highway service stop gas station worth it. Because I'll do anything to see her smile no matter what she's going through now. Of all the jobs I have in my life, that one tops the list.
