Often we avoid that which will take us in a new direction. Today’s photo came at the end of a night shoot at the Camden Harbor in Maine. Night shots require a tripod. I really dislike carrying a tripod, and I almost skipped going to the evening class. Anyway I “schlepped” my way along in the dark. I liked my tripod even less when having to fumble with it in the dark and on a floating dock …
As I heard the designated whistle indicating our shoot was over, I gladly lowered my tripod to its lowest position, walked along the harbor and couldn’t find the van. I was momentarily lost and turned to see if I could find a class colleague also in the dark. Then I “found the light” or rather it found me. The headlights of a parked car illuminated the bike that I hadn’t previously seen when we started the shoot. I grabbed my now beloved half mast tripod, sat down in the parking lot and shot what is one of my now all time favorite photos.
I love the sea, I love night shots, and love light, but I would have never before considered an old motorized bike as a subject matter for my photography.
What new direction might you take to see something or your situation in a new way?

Lovely photo Ingrid! I think most forms of a bicycle make for great photos! I love your insight on going in a new direction-it’s a bit uncomfortable, but it’s usually more fun in the end! You’re amazing! Love, Sarah

That’s a great picture mom!
Great pics. So happy that you are having fun with this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mom, that’s a stunning photo. The composition is tremendous with the juxtaposition of light vs. dark, foreground vs. background, and ground vs. water transport. Really amazing!
You go Girl! Great photo. Will never forget our great trip this fall and all the great pictures I have because of you!
Love, Karen
it is such a great picture and you are so professional photo grapher so proud of you mom .
Hey great pix. Is that a light dusting of (pardon the expression) snow? Is that bike one of those with a motor that’s charged up when you pedal? Why was I not surprised to see a laudatory post addressed to “Mom”?
Sara’s at home now, with one less lobe in her left lung. The surgeon had bad news/good news, i.e. the tumor was large and malignant, but he “got” it all. We’re anxikously awaiting the news from those smart guys in the basement like David for news as to where we go from here.
In that connection, I’d always thought that the various “C” designations referred to how far the cancer had grown. Now I get the impression that the designation refers to something about the cells in the cancerous material, i.e. you could have C-4 which I understood is the worst, but if there had been no spread and the tumor was removed, the prognosis is not so grim.
Pls get a short consult and let know.
