What Smena Saw

Three shots I lost yesterday and why:

I saw a bush with with these little yellow flowers whose petals were long and thick and separated like stars. Their centersw were a beautiful orangey orange. The problem was I couldn't get a tight enough cluster of flowers to get that starts in the green sky look I wanted because of the Spectra's, the camera I had on hand, minimum distance. I need a small portable close up camera.

I saw this girl walk passed me. She had these sunk dark eyes and longish staright greasy looking hair. She looked sad and dangerous. I was just afraid to ask her. I need to not be afraid.

I saw this balloon on a very, 30 or 40 foot, tether strung with tiny flags. It was orange. I had one shot left in the Spectra and either the tether moved or I mis-judged the parallax and the baloon, the lonely little baloon that so said how I felt at that moment was not in the frame. I should never be without film.
