" thrills and frills "

---

feeling the heft of the body, and the balanced weight of the lens in my hands, i fingered for the various buttons and knobs, before depressing the shutter halfway to attain focus.

with my left eye wide open and attentive, i found the subject and remained calm. taking in a short and deep breath, the slight breeze shifted and the scene came into view.

'clack-clack clack,' went the mirror slapping against the inner-mechanisms of the interior. i lowered the camera with the knowledge that something unique was created in those few milliseconds.

i exhaled slow and sure; this was my something special and never repeated.
