The Lazy Photographer


Today the traffic gods were not on my side.
After listening to two This American Life episodes,
I was still two podcasts away from my destination.
I reached for my camera, a distraction from my mounting frustration.
Construction rerouted me through the streets of Azusa,
The late afternoon autumn light was luminous on telephone and transmission wires.
An hour or so later, somewhere on the 210,
I watched an amazing sunset as I inched forward in traffic.
I had no idea what I shot,
but I was gladly rewarded with a few happy accidents.
