US vacation trip, April 22 — May 2, 2005

Thursday, April 28: Winnepesaukee lake sunset

The Lake District in mid-NH is home to hundreds of smaller lakes, with the large Winnepesaukee lake in the middle. It's a damn nice lake — and damn expensive to have a house on it.

A man was fishing on this pier, and I asked if I could include him in my photos — but he refused. Instead, he offered his fishing rod to me and to take a photo with me fishing (which I haven't done since I was 9, and I certainly don't eat the slimy, yucky things) — and so we did. And the photo came out totally lousy, as he photographed the way most people do: they quickly point the camera in some almost-random direction, with no thoughts about composition, and then immediately press the button — all done as if it the camera was a red-hot object. When I left, I realized why he probably had refused to let me photograph him: a sign on the pier said: "All fishing from pier forbidden"!
