I’d say I achieved my secondary goal, but that’s about it. I think the root of it was that I was underprepared–I didn’t know the event well enough to know exactly where to go–and I wasn’t mentally prepared for adopting the hi-I’m-here-from-so-and-so-to-take-your-picture persona. In short I was more than a little self-conscious about what I was doing; that so seldom makes for good art.

I do like the picture above. I also like the three pigs. ‘Course, I’d like it more if I got the focus right (look at the bricks in large version)

Now, I’m beside myself that this was the best I could get of a wonderful police officer having a moment with a child. Perhaps I should focus on the fact that I /got/ a shot, but then I’d be self-satisfied no good art comes from that either.
