Why Do You Need to Double-Check Your Camera Before Leaving?
Because of my carelessness, I missed a lot of moments to shot
On a cloudy Saturday, a soft breeze whispered through the air, and a sudden feeling urged me to explore my neighborhood. Without any plans, I just went with my instincts.
As I walked towards Reforma Street, I saw people carrying folding chairs. “Is there a parade on Reforma Street?” I pondered to myself. My curiosity was answered when I spotted a group adorned in amazing traditional costumes. Without hesitation, I made my way back to grab my camera.
Returning to Reforma, I stumbled upon a event staff and eagerly asked, “Disculpe, qué evento es?” “Excuse me, what event is this?”
It was Mexico Carnival which began at 2 p.m. Determined not to miss out, I waddled through the crowd, found a perfect spot, and grabbed my camera. Through my viewfinder, I noticed the battery had two bars remaining — but I wasn’t worried because I assumed I had a spare.
The festivities kicked off with vibrant music, lively dances, and a sea of participants. I was thrilled to capture the moment, I snapped a photo and hit record.
