Spontaneous syncopation

I love most to take photographs like this. What I thought I was shooting was nothing more than my grandson walking along the beach near a pier. Clearly, that’s what it is. However, it wasn’t until I downloaded the photo to my computer that I realized the marvelous harmony of the pier legs and those of my grandson.

Call it luck. Call it an accident. Call it what you want. I call it my Photo of the Week, “Spontaneous syncopation.”

Just call it a superb photo and keep the “lucky accident” part to yourself.

Thanks, Mike. It’s interesting that you honed in on that word. I hardly ever use it either in writing or speaking. I just wanted to drive home that the pic wasn’t staged.

All the best,

Bruce
