Which makes it somewhat easier to shoot spontaneous pictures in places where spontaneous photography would normally not be the norm.
Like the veggie section of the local Farm Boy supermarket. Where, I’m guessing, fruitography isn’t something that’s generally welcomed by management.
Couple it with the natural below-the-radar nature of a smartphone - I could just as easily be checking my shopping list - and it’s an ideal scenario for capturing optical weirdness during an otherwise ordinary moment.
Maybe the pandemic has changed us all. Perhaps we look harder for moments of whimsy, where we can escape for a fleeting moment from the crushing feeling that the darkness won’t be letting up anytime soon.
Maybe we just grab at the light wherever we can find it.
On this cold, grey November afternoon, I happened to find some in the tomato bin. As a bonus, they were on sale.
