I USED AN AI TO WRITE A STORY BASED ON THIS EVENT
On Easter Sunday, I decided to visit Tully Park. The park was bustling with activity, families enjoying the holiday, children laughing and playing.
I was taking in the scene, looking for interesting photo opportunities for my series on Dublin’s public spaces.
As I was walking, my boot suddenly sank into the mud. It wasn’t just a small puddle, but a deep, thick patch of mud that seemed to swallow my boot whole. I tried to pull my foot free, but the mud had a firm grip. In my struggle, my other boot also got stuck.
Feeling a bit panicked and embarrassed, I looked around, hoping no one had noticed my predicament. That’s when I saw a boy from a nearby bench walking towards me. He offered to help and, setting aside my pride, I gratefully accepted. With a coordinated effort, we managed to free my boots from the mud’s grip.
Afterwards, we shared a moment of camaraderie, both of us a bit amused by the situation. I noticed then that he was holding a sketchbook. Seeing an opportunity for a unique photo, I asked if I could take his picture. He agreed, remarking that the muddy incident had indeed provided an interesting angle for my photo series.
Note: In reality it was a old man, walking a small over excited dog, who assisted me and there was no way that I would have asked to photograph him.
