Sometimes the pho­tog­ra­phy gods smile upon you.

I was fin­ish­ing up an exhi­bi­tion install at the Kokol Gallery at Toe River Arts in Spruce Pine, NC, when exhi­bi­tions direc­tor Kathryn Andree excused her­self from our labors to meet an artist who had stopped by to pick up a piece of work from a pre­vi­ous show. I joined her because I want­ed to meet George Bennett, the man who had carved the winged angel.

As they walked down the hall togeth­er, I pulled out my iPhone and snapped this shot of their levity.

One moment, one frame. Had we planned the shot, no amount of prepa­ra­tion or effort could have sur­passed the results.
