| Almost ready for harvest London, ON June 2024 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
We live near the edge of town, so I could be hanging out with cows and horses just a few minutes after leaving home. In fact, I plan most of my bike rides that way, because cows and horses are delightful.
So is a wheat field. Or anything else that grows from the ground. So sometimes I’ll stop by the road and carefully step to the edge of the ditch for some bizarro photography.
As is often the case when I have a camera in my hand, the goal isn’t so much to capture a particular image. Rather, the image becomes the trigger for the experience that led to its capture.
And on a grey afternoon with cars whipping past me at near-triple-digit speeds, it occurred to me as I tried to avoid tumbling into a water-filled moat that this wasn’t going to be my best photographic day. In fact, maybe I need to be picking my spots a little more carefully.
But that wasn’t the point, anyway. I got out there and played with light for a bit. That alone made it worthwhile.
This picture? I’ll call it a bonus.
