“The Fire Hydrant”
The few times I went out to take my daily shot as midnight was closing in, I’ve always been attracted to the fire hydrant near our house. Not unlike the staple British phone booth, I find them very typical. However, due to poor lighting and immediate environment, I haven’t been able to get any result I was truly satisfied with. On our way back from a promenade with Jasmine, I found this other fire hydrant in a much better location. A nice paint job, too. The only difficulty here was not to get my shadow in the shot… I had to leave the sidewalk for that one. A note of caution: be aware of your surroundings at all time. I’ve read a few – true – stories about photographers being so involved in their shot that they ended up getting hit by cars!
