Meet my new "friend", we'll just call him Spike. How did we meet? I noticed Spike sitting on the car the other night while I chatted with my mom on the phone.
What was interesting was that while chatting with Mom, Spike was pacing back and forth on the hood of the car, almost like he was looking for something.
Now picture this; it just so happens I had the phone in one hand but in the other, my Canon 20D with 60mm macro attached.
Since you know how those calls with your mom can go, where she is doing all the talking and you are looking for something to do, but not seem disinterested, i figured i would try to take a shot of Spike; as soon as he stops pacing and stands still for a second.
As I hunched down and put the camera to my face, amazingly, Spike stopped in his tracks. And as I am looking in the viewfinder I begin to notice that Spike is looking at me just about as curiously as I am was looking at him. For a second, he even seemed to cock his head to the side, like he was trying to figure out what the hell I was doing.
Well all of a sudden, Spike must have decided to get a closer look. Using those little legs of his, he LUNGED forward and hit me in the forehead; this while the phone was to my ear and the camera was against my face. In a split second, my shutter fired, the phone drops to the ground and my 20D nearly followed it.
After recovering my composure I look down at the car and am in shock, Spike is in the same spot he LUNGED from giving me that stupid look with all his eyes..
For the first time I thought I was the exhibit.....
This shot was taken AFTER he hit me in the head, just to prove that "I am the man" and he is the beast.. :)
