A few months ago a lady with a stick and dark glasses was hobbling along the footpath near my office. I didn't see her before I started framing the trunk of a lovely sheoak and she stopped and waited for me to take the shot. I stood back to let her pass, but she insisted, tacitly acknowledging her reduced physical state: 'I'm a photographer too you know."
This afternoon I returned from a meeting after 5pm and the afternoon light of the cold spring day was very beautiful. I parked underground and grabbed a camera from the boot. I wanted some shots of the front of my building. One very spry lady of around 50 hurried herself out of my frame and seemed pleased to be abetting my project: "Lovely light in this magic hour." she said. Another photographer.
I enjoyed very much both those encounters.

I find that some photos are made solo, by myself, no one to talk to, making this forum a nice place to visit. I agree, encounters such as the two mentioned, adding human contact; it's especially nice when it just happens.
Thanks for your stories!

Always have a camera with you, one never knows what will happen.
