Yikes. Let's hope it's not a problem caused by the solution to a different problem. That would be too much to bear...
Since it was just my son, not a client, I was shooting, and we were only 2 blocks from home, I didn't bring the back-up gear that I usually do to a shoot... the bag with the k7, extra lenses, flash. Ive never needed them before, thankfully. But, I won't be leaving them behind again...! :) -c On Mon, Sep 24, 2012 at 1:48 PM, Larry Colen <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Sep 23, 2012, at 7:38 PM, Christine Nielsen wrote: > >> Hello all, >> >> Here's a head-scratcher: >> >> Tonight, I was shooting senior portraits of my son.
