Since it seems to be true confessions day, here's mine: I was blown out of bed at the crack o' dawn by construction noise; they were beginning to "rotomill" my street (scrape off the asphalt, mix it with crushed C****s and N****s and roll it back on) and there were dozens of guys and machines and I like that, so I grabbed my ZX-5n and ran out in my jammies and took a whole roll while the guys looked curiously at the looney standing in his slippers in the hot tar. Off to 1-hour SkrewUp Photo, and got back my prints: all but one totally lousy because I shot the whole thing set on spot-metering, when most shots were beautifully backlit by the sunrise.
