Serendipity

A few months ago now I described myself as '"a student of the Wiesmier school of serendipity in photography" in an 'Artist's statement' thread on Filmwasters, and I suppose this shot says it all. An unintentional triple exposure - the first as Deanne walks away from me, the second as she turns around when I call and the third standing at the point and looking back to Chanonry Point lighthouse. Truth is, that although I really like the result, it was completely unintentional. I don't remember not winding on the film, I thought that I had?

From Wikipaedia:  Serendipity - A "happy accident" or "pleasant surprise"; specifically, the accident of finding something good or useful without looking for it. The word has been voted one of the ten English words hardest to translate in June 2004 by a British translation company. However, due to its sociological use, the word has been exported into many other languages. Julius H. Comroe once described serendipity as : to look for a needle in a haystack and get out of it with the farmer's daughter .

Whilst on the subject of Wiki some of the links in this post will be broken tomorrow - as I notice they are having a 24 hour anti-SOPA black out of English-language wikipaedia in protest against proposed legislation in the US that has potential to damage free and open internet - well done wiki, I agree the internet should remain free and open for everyone, everywhere.
