Life is once, forever: Henri Cartier-Bresson. I love this insightful quote. It is true, you cannot recreate a moment once it's passed. That is the beauty of the candid shot.

The universe has reclaimed one of our finest. Never in a million years could you believe that someone so vibrant could die so suddenly. It makes you pause............

Goodnight to the beautiful and quirky, funny and delightful Diane Keaton. You were an original.

Stealing a chance quiet moment. To sketch. To write. To ponder. To sip coffee. To observe the passing world like pictures flying through the air.

The mayor pulled a hat-trick. Jumped the frying pan by quitting the police board. Announced her tax cap. Passed the buck and got some public praise for doing it.

Interesting times indeed.
#Photography isn't a Crime: Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects freedom of expression including the right to take and publish photographs in public spaces. There is no expectation of privacy, meaning you don't need permission to photograph people or scenes visible from a public place.
I find imperfections often make for better photography. "Quality" in street photography is subjective, and true beauty, character, and emotional connection can emerge from imperfections. This is a great example. It caries a strong emotion. It is authentic. Relatable. Genuine. Wabi-sabi!
Don't live your life as if it's your last day. Live it as if it's your first. Be curious. SEE things as if seeing them for the first time. It not only makes for being a better photographer, it makes for being a better human.

She certainly has shown where her priorities are not.
