May 14th 2014


Opportunistic photography is the name of the game, and as we all have camera's in our mobile phones, what was until relatively recently a moment of inspiration can now be preserved for ever. Can the image ever recreate the moment?  Stationary at some traffic lights in North Somerset this pick-up Land Rover pulled alongside. As I sat there the two (there may have been three) collies in the back looked out eagerly at the scene around them. Two different species, a commuting hominid and an intelligent canine, both trapped in a tin box looking at each other as the traffic built up around them. Soon the lights changed green and we were both off on our separate journeys.  However unlike this hominid who would soon swap a tin box in motion for an office with a computer, my voyeuristic collies would I expect be unleashed soon on a wary sheep or two. I know which car I'd rather be riding in on this glorious of May days as the sun shone down most pleasantly.
