The ACC has never had successive Photos of the Week by the same photographer but that rule now flies out the window. Last week it was Shane’s silhouetted dance to the sun, this week it’s an irresistible candid never to be repeated. Capturing a scene like this requires a sense of humor, a ready camera and a willingness to take a chance on the outcome. This is not the time to worry about shutter speed, aperture or ISO-just focus and shoot. Fortunately for all of us, this time it worked and the result is a remarkable unplanned gem that Shane will treasure for the rest of her days. This shot also reinforces the absolute necessity for backing up your photos religiously. It also demonstrates why photography is such a special art, capable of capturing a unique, unforgettable moment in time.

This image is currently on display in the Gallery of the Ashe County Arts Council in West Jefferson.
