My serendipitous moment came about 6 years ago when I was photographing a wedding. I was in the bride's room getting some candid shots using bounce light. Then I decided to open some venetian blinds. The glass was frosted so the light entering was diffused. I turned and saw the young bride bathed in the diffuse light. She wasn't expecting a photo to be takened then so she was very still deep in thought. I got a great photo from it that gets good comments whenever I show it.
