One day I was walking near the Atlantic City nj boardwalk and i spotted a man with a cat riding in the basket of his bike. He saw me with several cameras around my neck and said (hey buddy my cat does tricks do you want to see). He put the cat on the skateboard and pushed him down the boardwalk.When the board stopped moving the cat remained standing on the board. I quickly approached and set my camera on the boardwalk a foot from the cat. With a 24mm lens i made this image at the moment the cat closed his eyes from a gust of wind and a man walked into the side of the picture. This is a film image.
