Me got car. Me go. Me go fast. Teevee say so. Uh'oh — guy in way. No can wait — Foot on gas — teevee say so. Me no brake — Nawww — Naw, Me swinggg — Me pass. Me go — Me go fast.
Yeah, enough of that funnin' about, good tho it feels. Making a character from just one of the characters in my every day out there. Although, and only completing the thought there, I might have intro'd the piece reeeally appropriately, keeping to the theme bumping the edges behind my eyes, and done my best David Attenborough...decked out for a safari...his smile and soothing voice reassuring that it's gonna be all right...
"A moment with an automobiler. We are in Western Canada. It is morning, and the automobilers are on migration. This one is...a very brief moment. We might feel privileged to have witnessed this moment, however brief. It is rare, indeed, to record for, you see, this species has become brakeless."
Yeah, okay, the point. Waited almost one month for THE shot. Really, it is like wildlife photography, out there. Not much unlike John and Janet Foster squatting in a buggy blind in Canada's north woods. Waiting for days. Cameras at the ready. Waiting on an osprey's nest, and the eggs to crack.
Yup. My subject just about the same. Comes and goes as it pleases. Wild life.
