Trudging through the fog

Shortcut

We all take shortcuts to school, work, or wherever else we’ve got to go.

This person is no different, following a well-worn path through a weed-choked field to a nearby school - likely the same walk through the same path at the same time, day after day. There’s comfort in routine, after all.

This day has fog thrown into the mix, which makes it a little more dramatic, particularly because I’m shooting almost directly into the sun and the tone and cast - untouched off the camera - are more than a tad weird-looking.

I’m also shooting fast - getting off a couple of almost blindingly-composed frames before I lose the scene for good.

I could always stake out the same spot tomorrow, but it wouldn’t look or feel the same.

What I first thought was endlessly, identically repeatable turns out not to be. Every day tells a different story, even on what seems to be a forgettable walk through a forgettable field.

Perhaps nothing is forgettable.
