FDT: fire station edition...292/365


I'd wanted to do a FDT in front of a fire house during the month of October (Fire Safety Month) and since today's FGR theme was ruby red, today was the day.

I Googled fire stations in the area and found a picture of this one (I was looking for red doors) that wasn't too far from where my son has tutoring. I dropped him off and headed right over. I got to the station and all three garage doors were down and no one was in sight. So, I parked my car and setup my gear. I took a few shots (sometimes waiting for the stopped traffic in front of me to move), and went back to check my position in front of this middle door. I went back to take another and I noticed that a fireman had come out to see what on earth I was doing. I explained the 365 project and Face-down Tuesdays {groan} and then asked him if he would mind opening the garage door. We had to wait a few minutes because there was a call for the ambulance (the door on the right). While we waited those few minutes, I asked him if he would mind if I took his picture and if he'd be my 3rd Stranger. I had my iTouch with me and I showed him a few of my recent images and he said he would. I took two quick shots here and I was done. I'm not sure about this, there's a weird uncontrollable asymmetry going on here.

And here he is, my 3rd stranger in my 100 Strangers Project...
