from Andy Horst of This Providence: Sometimes accidents make the most interesting things in life.  Like photographing this hawk yesterday.  I think I bumped my shutter release as he flew off, and at least I feel this photo is more interesting than the rest where he may just be perched on a branch looking for his next meal.  I’m spending a lot of my time off just wandering my state and looking for photo opportunities.  I’m heading out to the ocean today and will venture around the Olympic peninsula.  It’s been fun reconnecting with one of my first passions.  I’ve been starting to shoot film again.  I used to be the photo geek with a full dark room in my basement.  Funny, but my only classes I didn’t drop in community college were photography and music business. Anyways, if you don’t plan at all, you plan to fail…. but is it bad to feel disappointed when all your plans fail?  Or do those accidents sometimes make the most interesting things in life?
