When interesting light catches my eye, I stop and ask myself: Is there a shot here? Sometimes I say it out loud. "No shot." Or "I'll take it." It's a split-second negotiation between what I see and what I know.
Not every shot is worth taking, and light is non-negotiable. Without it as a foundation, I'll almost always walk away.
But this moment was different. The light cut across the scene at a sharp angle, carving out geometry that felt almost architectural. Too deliberate to walk away from.
