Sal wonders up after seeing Sally from across the parking lot.
Sally is shocked at how handsome and charming Sal is.
Although she is clearly very interested in Sal, Sally plays hard to get.
Sal knows that Sally is worth the wait.
Suddenly they get interrupted when intruders break the peace!
Sally is worried about what will happen if the intruders come closer.
Sal comes over and explains that he will protect her no matter what because she is worth the risk. Now they live happily ever after.

I had some fun while playing around with my 70-200. I managed to photograph these geese without getting attacked, so that was pretty great. After a minute, I thought to myself, “Yep, this is what quarantine has led me too. I am now the crazy lady photographing the shopping center geese. ” Afterwards, I wrote a basic love story for Sal and Sally.

The photo with the biker I am pretty proud because of how perfectly timed it is! The bike is in the PERFECT spot! I wish he were looking over at the rock, but hey I’ll take it! I did have a guy question my beliefs on the virus and other politically driven questions, which was extremely odd while waiting for that image. I wasn’t really sure how to answer many of them and left confused and found it strange. The situation taught me that when I have my camera with me, and someone asks me a question that is politically driven, I respond with that I am representing the media and media remains neutral, so I don’t feel comfortable answering the question. Simple!
