Making the Ordinary not so Boring.

There are assignments and there are "assignments". The second group is the one that everyone knows and loves. These are taken because no one else wants them and someone has free time or the job just needs doing (e.g. photog in the wrong place at the wrong time). Then, when the time comes, thats when the Oh Crap moment hits. What do I do? This could be the most boring shot, the most ordinary photo in the world or it could turn out to be something fun, especially for the photographer.

I had one of those moments the other day. I was the lucky person asked to take a photo of an intersection. You know, one of those things that cars travel through? Yup, exciting. I nearly leapt out of my pants I was so excited. But then I thought better of it and kept my pants on. An hour later, I went and made this photo.
