There are two main reasons why I am not a landscape photographer. Allow me to share one of them :)
Krister and I were on our way home from a cancelled engagement session out of the city. ”I wonder what it feels like to be in a ditch”, Krister said. There were many cars along the sides of the roads.
I noticed a beautiful frosted stop sign with icicles hanging in the most artistic way ever! ”Stop the car” I said, and Krister did (he’s used to me being spontaneous). We walked a ways to the stop sign, Krister carrying an umbrella overtop so the camera would not get wet.
“Shoot, no memory card”, I noticed. Krister was grumbly. It was not a great idea to have the umbrella out in such wind. ”Just drive me back and I’ll shoot from the window” was my solution. And as Krister was turning around on the narrow street with little visibility it happened…. we slid into the ditch.
We learned a few things:
#1. It’s tough to get out of a ditch on your own. #2. Boston Pizza will not deliver pizza to a vehicle. #3. Roadside assistance is wonderful even if it takes three hours to come. #4. I am not a landscape photographer.
Krister tries to clear a path for us to drive the car out.

We are still in a good mood (this is before we found out we couldn’t have pizza delivered).
