Sometimes, it’s not what you shoot but why. On Nov. 10, 2024, while walking along an alley in my San Diego neighborhood of University Heights, my wife and I passed a collection of kids’ toys looking down from a roof.
Initially, I continued on, then stopped, when mentally revisualizing the scene. Sulley the monster appears to be holding up the metal bar. I assume that was the intention of the person putting the Disney character there, but it could be coincidence, too.
I pulled out Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, set to 5x zoom, and shot the Featured Image. Vitals: f/2.4, ISO 50, 1/3200 sec, 115mm (film equivalent); 10:27 a.m. PST.
