Crimson & Gold

Seven Lakes Drive, Rockland County, NY- October, 2008

Once again the photographer lucked out. The weather was sunny and crisp, the leaves were at their peak but best of all it was a Saturday and I could devote the entire day to capture that perfect fall photo. Although there were some promising prospects along the way it wasn't til late in the afternoon that the sun perfectly reflected the leaves onto the water. As soon as I saw the shot I knew I had to have it. There was only one thing standing between me and the perfect shot; specifically there was no place to pull aside and it was illegal to stop. What kind of photographer hating sadist concocted that traffic law? No matter, I pulled over as far as I could, threw the car into park and jumped out for my shot.

Even if I had gotten arrested the shot would have been well worth it (assuming they wouldn't take my camera into evidence).

Never digital- always film
