826CHI Volunteer Photo Book: My World Project - Part 1: LIFE IN MOTION

I was walking down the street with my fellow students from 826CHI when I noticed an old-time street lamp standing at the corner. It seemed like a volcano erupting from the brick road and the bulbs were magma flowing over us. I had my camera with me, so I raised it to my face, but just then, I saw a bird perched on the concrete pillar behind the lamp. I noticed the bird looking down at us, attracted to the motion of eleven kids walking below. I clicked the button, but the bird swooped down and flew above our heads before my finger reached it. Now, that accidental picture has ended up in an amazing book. I guess there’s an interesting photo everywhere, if you just take the time to notice it.
