Snapshot of man with dog
I always see this local man walking his dog around the neighborhood. The dog is invariably trotting along with its tail wagging rapidly. I stopped at a convenience store and saw the dog, so when the owner came out, I asked if I could snap a photo. I made a nice 5x7 print and hope to give it to him.
I really wish that I had a rangefinder camera with me instead of the nearly P&S XA2, as I'd give it a nice and narrow depth of field. However, I didn't own an XA at the time, so if I didn't have the XA2 with me, I probably wouldn't have gotten ANY photo.
The worst photo is the one not taken.
Quick update: I've been carrying this photo behind the driver's seat for a while, and last week I finally stumbled across the man with the dog. He was very surprised when I handed him the photo, but after he realized that I was just that crazy photographer and not a random crazy guy, he seemed happy to have the photo.
