I do feel a bit bad for anyone who has to walk with me. I had to wait for busses to pass before I could take this. hence it became better than it was because a human walked into it :)

for 2+ years, I stop very frequently to photograph. and I lose all sense of time, self, and safety to do this. I almost fell into a lake, and a river, and backed into oncoming traffic more times than I can count. I've been late to too many things I should not have. I dont notice cold, heat, people saying nasty things about me because I am a "tourist" (regardless of where I am shooting, including my own street) and I am in their way, I dont move fast enough, I dont hear any of it. The poor person having to walk with me tells me afterwards, when I realise it's cold and raining and I lost the past 30 minutes in a fit of shotcraze.

add that, my normal state, to my slow waddle due to pregnancy when I actually DO move, and it must drive people nuts. I'm surrounded by good people, they dont ever critisize or complain.
