So many things happen while out making the street photography rounds. Often, at least a moment goes to contemplation of the scene.
Tonight, I found a dollar on the pavement, apparently overlooked by many others, as there was no sign of anyone nearby. It was a bit out of the normal view.
What would you do?
1. Pocket it!
2. Photograph it
3. Just ignore it. Leave it there.
4. Bring it to the police or any nearby authority
5. Find and homeless person and give it to them?
6. Wonder about the person who dropped it?
7. Prop it up in a slightly more conspicuous place, and
then let somebody else enjoy it, or otherwise, allow
the wind to continue it on its journey?
8. Post a silly note on the LF page about it, to see
what other photogs would do when out in the
field.
9. Hide yourself, and then get a long lens set up to
photograph others who might find it or ignore it?
10. Something else.
While I favored 2-3, above, I did 7 & 8. So, uh, I did
interfere in the landscape, but I couldn't resist the
thought of having someone else have the surprise of it.
I wedged it between a pipe and a wall in plain site just
above where it was on the pavement. Silly of me not
to think of 9 at the time though.
What would you do? How do you behave when out
photographing in the big city? While waiting for the
light or the situation to ripen, do you think of the other
non-subject elements, "help" the situation to happen
by manipulating it? Would you take a dollar that does
not belong to you?
Hmmm. Ooops - time to pull the film from the wash...
