Remember that thread, "happy accidents"?
Here is my latest happy accident. I was taking a photo of the poet on stage when this woman walks in front of the camera.

1. I have a happy accident I was just looking at yesterday.
I'd forgotten about it (I was a little... um... ahem... drunk at the time that I took it). It's really cool. When I get home I'll post it.

Yours is outstanding the way the shadow on the wall looks almost like it belongs to the woman who walked into the shot, then it hits you that the shadow is not in the same position as the woman. Plus the colors are great, too.

2. Here it is.


I was standing in line for the bathroom and I took about 8 shots while I was standing there. I almost got a decent picture despite my unsteady hand, but then this guy walked into the shot. It's a little ghostly.

You couldn't have planned that moment any better.

6. 'In His Own Little World'...


Here's an accident that took place when I was trying a "drive-by shooting" of buildings in Pioneer Square. I guess the camera auto-chose a slow shutter speed, and I moved the camera enough to leave most everything a blur...but somehow made the motion perfectly in sync with the SUV, catching a portrait of the driver, sharp and clear amidst all the chaos surrounding him.
