Q & A

Nighttime. I'm walking along and spot an image. Trashcan on the corner with a metal ashtray on top. Manmade lights reflect off the silver of the ashtray's rim. I move in close, brace myself (slow shutter speed required) and snap a shot.

Young woman across the street, puzzled by my actions. "You're not photographing that trashcan, are you?"

No, lady, I'm photographing art.
