Surprise!
By Steve Bennett | August 14, 2020
I never know what or who I’ll encounter as I travel about Cambridge with my camera bag hanging from my shoulder. Some days, Il just plant myself on a corner and see what transpires. Other days, I’m on the move and on the lookout for poignant moments and store signage that conveys the tenor of the times. Both approaches work. Or not. Somedays, the “harvest” is slim, other days I have an SD card filled with numerous potentially workable images. And once in a while there’s a surprise that makes up for it all; I was just at the right time in the right place. Here’s a collection of some of my favorite surprises.
