Prop Fishing
With the Susquehanna River levels low enough for the Dock Street Dam to be visible, I pulled in to Shipoke to grab a morning shot with dam and the former Reading Railroad Lurgan Branch arch bridge together. I saw this gentleman fishing in the boil of the dam and thought he would be a good prop, so I introduced myself and asked him if he would ignore me while I photographed him, the dam and a train on the bridge. His wide smile and fast nodding told me he didn't speak English. I explained again with hand motions and sound effects, he nodded slower in agreement and I waited for the train to appear. *Click* goes the shutter on this frame, the man looks at me and the camera and then scampers up the riverfront away from me with an apologetic hand motion, as if he thought he was blocking my shot.
