it is funny....
the photo process is not an easy one
it is not hard
but it is not free and easy
especially when it is a sidebar to my attention
I may be walking to lunch or riding my bike to work
and the camera is part of the process
I do my part
then the cyclists need to do theirs
if a cyclist passes and they turn their head
well... then I have basically missed the shot
if the cyclist turns the corner when I expect them to go straight
well... then I have basically missed the shot
if the cyclist closes their eyes when I take the picture
I have basically missed the shot
there are also issues of lighting and movement
then the passing of cars around the cyclist or pedestrians stepping in front of me and my camera
it is a process that I have adapted into part of my everyday
a habit more than a hobby
something I do
something I can not explain
maybe watching the film, EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP
will give me insight into my own madness
