Summer 2000, Brooklyn, NY. Outsiide my cousin's apartment building, a cat
lived and roamed freely behind a short metal fence, confident he would be
safe from attack. While watching the cat, I spotted a large dog across the
street. He was stealthily approaching the fence, eyes fixed on the cat. It
was clear the dog was going to jump the fence and chase the cat. "This is
great!" I thought; "I'll be able to sell this photo for sure!" I carefully
brought my Super Program and 50/1.4A lens to my eye, focusd on the likely
jump spot, and selected a fast aperture. The dog jumped, I pressed the
shutter--and nothing happened.
I had neglected to turn the camera ON.
By the way, the cat outran him.
