cognitive dissonance

Mr. Photographer person, what possessed you to take such a blurry photo of that woman?

Well, it was raining really hard outside and, well, it was a dark and stormy night as well. Really, it was. People rapidly ran through the streets trying to avoid becoming one with the wet, but to no avail. They really knew water. You know water?

They were running and it was raining so hard it was hard to see leaving them mere blurs of people and cars. A middle-aged Chinese man was riding against the wind in a regular coat (not a rain coat) and just getting hammered by the rain and wind. I’ve been in that a bunch of times so I know what he was enjoying and it made me smile.

Right. You kinda talk a lot about stupid things. What’s up with that? Are you from some weird small town or what?

No small towns, really. Are you trying to provoke me or something?

Maybe. I’m a little bored. Do you have any other photos?

Yeah, didn’t you see all of those on the side there already? Sometimes I think I should just poke out my eyes so I can experience the world the way you do. Here’s one I shot right after that woman went by. I think she was running for a car but maybe not this one.
