Drug store, Agra, India, 2008

In India, medicines are sold (mostly without prescription) in “Chemist” shops such as this one. The proprietor seems to be enjoying an afternoon drink as our bus rolled past. I made this picture through a side window of the bus, using burst shooting and a shutter speed of 1/200th of a second. The late afternoon light paints the mélange of signs around the shop in warm colors, providing a perfect patina for a neighborhood shop in urban India.

Actually two moments in time are involved, Mo -- the man lifts the drink to his lips just as my bus speeds by. One might call it luck. But to me, luck is always the residue of design. If I had not had my camera up and burst shooting selected and my finger held down on the shutter button, I would have never gotten this shot.

Nice catch, the moment in time!
