This photo is one I dug out for a magazine article which was my first missed photographic opportunity. I think I was seven and I went to the Canberra Day Parade, float came into view carrying Mickey Mouse and Goofy perched on a set of steps of the sort once commonly wheeled out to airliners. I made a bid for the shot with my Kodak Instamatic. I just couldn’t get to a front row, and when I got to the front they’d passed me. I got this shot of the backs of their heads going away from me, and all I was thinking was, “missed the shot, missed the shot”… I take alot of care these days to create the best environment to capture the shot, but there is still that chance as there is for all photographers that we will miss “the moment”
