| Spontaneous takeout photo sesh London, ON December 2024 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
And while I waited for the order to be ready, I played with the peanuts the restaurant so graciously made available for customers in line.
I never said it was fine dining. And they had me at peanuts.
So I found a table off to the side and started to compose the shot. I do this sometimes, play with light and composition and angles. It brings me a strange degree of joy, even in the middle of a public space that normally doesn’t host spontaneous photo shoots.
I hope I brought some unexpected joy to a few strangers. I hope I inspired them to step out of the normal every once in a while. I hope a single photo of a peanut somehow turns into a ripple of something a little more tangible.
That’s what photography does for me. No one ever said it had to follow a script.
