I’ve always loved the view from the end of the Rockridge BART platform, but hadn’t managed to get a photo shoot there. Hardly anyone ever walks over that far. But today, as soon as I got onto the platform, I saw my photographer hanging out down there, so made a beeline for him. Casually, of course.
When I asked him for the picture, he agreed & then said, “What, is BART a big thrill for you?”
I gave a noncommital laugh in response.
After he took the shot, I looked at it & said something about liking the view from there. He agreed, we both looked out over the tracks, & he commented, “That pigeon is walking really close to the third rail, & it’s wet. A real daredevil, that one is!”
“Living dangerously,” I agreed, & took my leave.
I've always had this fantasy of going up to a celebrity and asking THEM to take my picture, to see their reaction. Maybe you can pull it off!
ReplyDeleteGood idea... if I ever see any celebrities! (not likely)
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered about those daredevil pigeons myself when I've wandered to this spot. Danger Danger Danger!
ReplyDeleteYou have?!
ReplyDeleteI never gave it much thought... too busy looking at the nice SF view!
