Happenstance. Accident. Fluke. Unforeseen event. Chance. Timing. LUCK! No amount of careful planning can beat pure luck. Before I traveled to India, I debated about whether or not to bring my ‘real’ camera. After all, I had my phone, right? Plus, I would have to lug that sucker all over the place. Then I had the epiphany…what if I got halfway around the world and wished I HAD my camera? I am after all, a photographer. Or so I tell people. As I sat in a bus for sometimes 4 or more hours a day, I gazed out the window, camera in my hand. Every time I got tired of holding it and put it on the seat next to me, something would catch my eye and bang! It was gone. This image came and went (well, I came and went) so quickly that I was not even sure what I had captured until I reviewed it on the display. I captured this pair of beings early in my 16 day excursion. Once I realized the necessity of being watchful and witnessing constantly, I never stopped looking. I have always felt that those of us who do what we do as a vocation, ‘see’ when others often merely ‘look’. I will never forget the lesson of this photograph: I need to always be ‘looking’ in order to ‘see’ the opportunities in the world before me. Carpe Photo.
