Just the other morning, I was coming in to work and saw that one of the elevators was out of service and a repairman was working on it. It was actually a pretty incredible image, and if my phone had been in my pocket (instead of buried in my pannier), I would have stopped to get the shot. As I went up in a different elevator in the (elevator) bank, I found my phone and went back again, but of course, the shot was gone. These are still interesting, but nowhere near as cool. C'est dommage.
That evening, I was over at Factory Theatre to see Bonnes Bonnes (an interesting reworking of Genet's The Maids from a Canadian-Chinese perspective). I may be able to write more about this production, including the intriguing fact that the same cast is performing it in English and then following up with performances in French! (The English performances are over, but there is still a week to catch it in French. More info here.)
On the way in, I spotted what looked almost like a religious icon, but was a stuffed bunny on the wall. I decided I should document this (and not do it later, when in fact it would be dusk by the time the play ended and the shot would look completely different, even though the bunny is not likely to keep moving and spoiling the shot like the repairman...).
I'll try to be better about capturing these fleeting moments, but there is always too much going on to capture everything, and I don't want to let it get to me too much if something slips by, undocumented.
