Drive By Photography

Texting while driving is surely a bad thing. I've never done it, but I admit to answering my cell phone while driving. I've made a few calls while driving too.

Since Oprah's No Phone Zone Campaign, I've stopped doing both. It's just not worth it. Any calls can wait or I can pull over and make the call.

But I have another distraction while driving. Taking pictures. This flickr photo by Amisha reminded me.

I usually have my camera with me. Or my cell phone, which has a camera too. Well, there you go. I wonder if Oprah has addressed the photography side of cell phone use?

This photography distraction results in me often pulling over to take pictures. That's how I shot this rainbow.

Or sometimes shooting while driving. That's how I got that first picture. I can't do that again either. Many good shots will be lost. But at least not a life.

I took this picture while stopped in traffic on a bridge. My camera was out and I noticed this silhouette of dancers. Traffic wasn't moving, so I shot. Do you take pictures on the road?
