Shoot from the Hip


I was in Starbucks this afternoon, working on my assignments for the day, and happened to look over to a table about ten feet away. A man was showing a woman some photos he took on his point and shoot camera and she was smiling with delight. I thought: "Hey, now THERE'S a picture!" But then I thought, "Oh, why bother them." I looked again, and then almost without thinking, reached for my Canon SD800 which I now wear on my belt, and quickly shot three photos, without being noticed. A couple of minutes later I noticed him trying to take a photo of her, so I got up, walked over, and asked if they would like me to take a photo of the two of them with his camera. They were pleased, and I took the photo. Three for me, one for them.
