The Kink And I

There's A Twist In The Tale

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON


You never know when you'll need your camera, so do what I do - carry it with you all the time. I recently went into a post office, but of course a lot of the Australia Post outlets are shops as well. And while I was waiting in line, I spotted this sight above the gift wrap and greetings cards. I asked permission to photograph the sight and was told that was fine. I worked pretty quickly, so I guess you could say it was a case of post haste!
FOOTNOTE: The kink is dead, long live the kink.

Newbie. I do carry a camera most of the time, but mine are merely family snaps.

I envy you living in Australia - almost as great as San Jose!

Best wishes

David- But don't you ever feel awkard taking pictures of things that to most people might not seem worthwhile? I mean, I like that picture, but I would feel insecure standing in line at the P.O. taking a picture of a bunch of ribbon. Please explain :)

Yes its a lesson! I was always told to take a camera and binoculars ( I do a bit of bird watching)...the very time I did not...hey presto.. missed out on what could have been fantastic wildlife photos and list :o/

Annie said...

G'day Colleen,

Great question. I'll have to do a post on that, because I;ve had one VERY interesting experience.

But no, I never have a problem getting out the camera while others are around. This is Oz, so mostly people don;t hassle ....

Keep smiling

Hi Simon,

It's always the way, mate. The one time you forget your camera, you'll see the best sights!

Remind me to tell you about the classic shot that ``got away'' ....

Keep smiling
