Porteau Cove, BC
A woman who watched me wing-shoot with Big Bertha came up for a chat after the action was over. I don’t often swing that big lens handheld, but occasionally it works out.
I was munching on a samosa in the car, saw the heron coming in from a distance, grabbed the camera, jumped out of the car, and click, click, click.
She said she was interested in learning photography and asked me how long I’d been shooting.
“About 50 years,” I said.
We had a nice, two-meter chat, and I suggested she take a class or two through a community college to get her feet wet.
Smoke on the Water Series.
One Mile Lake, Duffy Lake, Birkenhead Lake, Lillooet River, all north of Whistler, BC, over the last few days.
While the smoke from the massive fires down south makes for moody photos, I’ll be happy when it’s gone. . .
