This shot was in many ways un-meditated. I had framed the
scene zooming out to 35mm and it just didn't seem to cut it. Though I could
tell the light was far from optimal for a toy camera with a slow lens and high
shutter speed, I took a chance. What
happens at the point of capture is fairly incomprehensible and, as I’ve found,
like lightening, it rarely strikes twice in the same place. The moments
captured by the camera are not just optical phenomena. I’m not even sure
exactly where this was taken, but chances are I won’t get to re-shoot. It’s the
fine surprises, like this one, when the unconscious and the capture device have
entered into cahoots, which keep me shooting day in and day out and walking
miles in the cold.
