Sometimes, when on an assignment, unexpected photo opportunities reveal themselves that have nothing to do with the shoot itself.

While out and about shooting the president of a university, I happened to catch this gentleman having lunch at a local diner. No big deal until clouds quickly gathered and created this rather dramatic scene. I had just enough time to get a few quick pictures off before the light, clouds, and the subject totally changed and the mood was gone.

I really didn't know what I had, having to move so quickly, until I got home and WOW! You can read whatever you want into the "message" of the image but there's a certain gravity to it I like. His focused stare and the gathering storm are a bit haunting and heavy but I like it.

The more you start to see the world photographically, the more these unexpected opportunities present themselves. Just have your camera ready...
