Mall Atrium Conversation

Apple iPhone 4, in a mall seating area along with all the other husbands, men and boys waiting for the wives, women and girls to swing by and pick us up after finishing shopping — there’s always something to fascinate a photographer.

Waiting’s not usually a problem. At least not for us “more mature” photographers.

Earl, your time spent waiting in the mall is much better spent. While waiting for my wife I just take a short nap.

I can’t stand waiting on places like this, I must be young then. ;-)

I don’t like being in malls, whether I’m the shopper or not. They are noisy, crowded and the odor of consumerism is all over the place. I much prefer to be on the edges of these places or better yet outside of town. However, there are photo opportunities available which you have proven. Well seen!

Waiting got a lot easier in the age of the smartphone! :-)

Waiting stinks, but when you’re taking photos and framing, then you’re doing it right! I’ve done a lot of time-lapse style photos this year and those seem to really test my patience, especially when I do it alone.

But waiting also gives us time to reflect..

I find that malls are good places to walk and we take advantage of that during the winter here. It’s really a common practice since you can easily do a couple of miles relatively fast. I never bring my camera but if I had a small point-n-shoot I’d take it along. These are really very nice.

If I have a camera—which I almost always do, I always take photos while waiting. The problem is i almost never like them enough to post them, or I forget to even download them sometime. But, taking them certainly helps to pass the time. Yours, I like very much.

You spent your time waiting very productive! I didn’t realise that there are so many great photo opportunities in a shopping centre. However, it’s ususally me who does the shopping and after that I try to leave the mall as quickly as possible to get some fresh air :) Perhaps next time, I shouldn’t rush so much and take my camera with me.

Earl, I just thought you should know, I’ve kept seeing that first image in my mind all week! It’s remarkable what a cell phone can do (technically), but my point is that it doesn’t matter HOW it was captured, a good image is a good image!
