Pod


After several nights of trying, I finally made the photograph I wanted of this Durham storage pod. As it is near my post office, I continued to pass by it on a regular basis.  I had always thought of the scene as immutable, but one day when I passed by, I saw that there was now a small pod, offspring-like, right next to the larger one.  Unfortunately, rather than creating a new and compelling composition, the additional pod simply cluttered the poignant scene of the solo pod.

The mini-pod stayed there for about a year, and then, just as mysteriously, it disappeared.  I had long before learned the hard lesson that any scene that strikes you as containing a wonderful photograph should be shot right then, no matter how improbable it is that it will suddenly change, but the experience of the sudden "baby pod" was a vivid reminder of that fact.
