Okay so the very first thing I have to say here is how INCREDIBLY lucky I was to get this shot today. Let me preface this story with another real fast. My car, as of yesterday, is not drivable. While I was changing the oil in it yesterday, I noticed that the metal framing of my tires were showing through the rubber, telling me that I was long due for a blow out. So today and for the foreseeable future I have to drive my fathers ’95 Jeep YJ, which I am not complaining about. This brings me to how I captured this shot today. When getting ready for class this morning I put all of my stuff in my car, the one I should not be driving right now, forgetting that I should not be driving it. I then remembered last minute that I am supposed to drive the Jeep to class today, so I quickly moved all my usual class stuff into the Jeep, forgetting to grab my camera. Now on my way home I see a really really nice Dodge Viper sitting in a parking lot, begging for me to take its picture. I quickly pulled over and was getting out when I realized I did not have my camera. Hoping for a miracle I check my dad’s center console in the Jeep and see my savior. The Olympus E500. Quickly grabbed a few shots and then went on my merry way, happy to have completed my 365 photo for the day.
