The other day, as I made my way to the train station, rather than enter and go home, I walked past it and kept walking. Took a left turn, and parked myself across a busy sidewalk from a Chinese medicine shop. I stood there, relaxed and waited for a bit, for the right person or couple to wander past so that I could take the shot. It was an oddly natural feeling, to break away from what has become routine and step back into photography which has always been my escape.

At last a few good subjects passed by and I took a few good shots. Deadlines looming and a lack of sleep eventually persuaded me from my moment and back to the train station to go home. Point being, no matter the pressure or the commitments, we must always make some time each day for our art.
