I f...Yes, it's finally come down to that- pity. I feel so, so... cheap!<br /><br />Wow, I'll say one thing, at least the suspense was mercifully short- one week!<br /><br />I don't know about the odds, there's also the law of diminishing returns, but that assumes you were winning to some extent beforehand, doesn't it? Anyway, one thing I ain't is a gambling man; like to think of it more as a calculated risk- but I was never good at math either way.<br /><br />Just before I got the news, I was out on my bike most the day taking a little chicken shit photo here and there, nothing special. Stepped off in a deserted area kissed by the last few rays of sunlight, lovely, but not a soul around for a much needed focal point. Yet another missed opportunity painfully slipping by as I tucked the camera back into the bag to ride home... when I spot a couple on two foot scooters coming up the path with two of the largest Great Danes I have ever seen! Lights, Camera... aim, press shutter- 37th Frame. <br /><br />The roll is taunting me right now, right next to me- and dollars to donuts the shot's not anywhere near as good as I have possibly imagined (if it registered on film to begin with). But I'm not a betting man.<br /><br />And if by wild circumstance, it is, I'll someday get to enter it in a competition- and there's no mystery there, is there?Stan B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17381743002180926900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331321633387292810.post-40000513617803082822014-01-21T21:07:27.507-08:002014-01-21T21:07:27.507-08:00Poor Stan.
