Upon Reflection...
I arrived at the train station earlier than expected and had about forty minutes before Gina and JD were getting in. This was a great opportunity to walk around and explore with my camera. It was a perfect autumn morning in what has turned out to be the most enjoyable October ever (unless you are a plant or a lawn). The air was pleasantly warm, with the most gentle of breezes. The sky was clear blue, punctuated by quickly moving clouds.
I made my way across the street to a building I have seen for many many years. And it has always attracted my photographic curiosity. But, for the first time, I was on foot with a camera, and not in a car speeding to the parking garage to catch a train.
I made many images from different angles with different compositions. It was exhilarating seeing the patterns the clouds made in the sky and on the building. In what seemed like the blink of an eye, my forty minutes was gone as my phone lit up with texts from Gina telling me they waiting!
This occasionally happens when I am photographing... time just flies past without me even noticing. Forty minutes, or an hour, or even more speed by in what feels like no time. I get lost in the subject and the process of making photos. I think it is this total immersion that sometimes happens that is a big part of the enjoyment of photography for me.
