Sometimes you just can’t capitalise on an opportunity.
I’ve been working in the garden, and had a skip outside the front of the house, which had dug up turf thrown in it. I was going to photograph it under the caption “I don’t like football”.
However, I was muddy, sweaty and had dirty great boots on – not suitable for nipping in and fetching the camera! Besides, my digging assistants might have thrown me in the skip if I’d stopped to “Prat about with cameras” while they were working.
By the time we’d finished for the day, the turf was buried and the shot was lost.
The moral of the story? I’m not entirely sure – perhaps it is that you should choose helpers that understand the sudden urge to stop everything and pick up a camera!
