This shot above (taken the other day) reminds of the shot below which I took way back on October 23rd 2007. It is a very important photograph for me because it was taken on the first day that I took my camera out with me for no particular reason. Previously I had only taken it on holidays or when I was going to something specific like a gig or whatever.
Having my camera on me that day changed my life because I was so friggin chuffed to be able to capture what looked to me like the remnants of a teddy bear massacre, its guts ripped out by an unknown assailant. It felt like a message from above to document what I came across in my normal day to day. And so from that lightening bolt moment I vowed never to leave my house without my camera ever again and I haven’t. (well except for August which I take off as you know).
Being armed and ready at all times has meant I have been able to capture an endless multitude of random moments that would have otherwise have got lost in the annals of time (not a rude word btw). Is that a good thing? It’s hard to say. Why am I telling you all this? Umm, I’m not sure really. I guess I just wanted to share that little nugget of info with you..as you were.
Thanks for sharing
