I am slowly learning that creativity often happens when you are least expecting it.

Last night, as I waited for Fernie’s Canada Day fireworks up on our deck (we have a sweet view of Fernie up on the hill and could see the launch area perfectly) I noticed that there was a beautiful car parked below, also taking advantage of our street and the view that it affords. One of the things that Duane and I often talk about is shooting more just for personal enjoyment – it can be a tricky balancing act; especially now that we are in the middle of wedding season. Anyway, something about the way the late evening light was coming together inspired me; so Duane and I ran and grabbed the lightstands and headed out the front door.

The guy driving the car looked at me like I was crazy when I asked if we could take a couple of pictures of his car be said that it would be okay if we did.

I think it was worth it… how about you?
