This week’s photo challenge (found here) required an unusual POV. Photography is, and never will be, my strong suit. Today however, appears to be quite the opposite. I promise this was nothing but an accident. A coworker needed to make a trip to Chase – a trip I make almost daily, as the gym I work out at is across the street. It was like any other trip I’ve made: running across the street trying not to get hit by buses or taxis. My mother would kill me if she knew how unsafe I was crossing roads. Apparently, I learned nothing as a child. I waited for her in the waiting area, looked out the window and…. LIGHT BULB… snapped this photo. I would really like to know what I looked like on the security camera: crouching down and awkwardly adjusting in my chair. I’m sure I made someone laugh. I’m a wee bit proud if it, I must say. Although, admittedly, black and white makes everything look better. But that’s just my opinion.
Happy Friday.
Check out my fellow bloggers. I love their posts:

Accidents happen to me too and they make for the best pictures. This one is fab!
Thank you!
The B&W is perfect for this photo. Accidents happen all the time in photography and that’s great. You have to take advantage of them and you did.

I really like your description of what others might have seen when looking at you taking the photo.
Accident or luck, it’s an amazing photo. Very well executed, and B&W was as very good choice.
And coming from someone who had a camera in the profile picture, I’m totally flattered!
Well I needed something to hide behind 😀
