Hmmm.  I remember reading that Edward Weston said, if you don't know 
what to photograph, look down at your feet.  I was never sure what that 
meant, but now I see part of it, especially the out of focus part.  
Maybe autofocus would be best after a bender.  And image stabilization.  
And automatic sensor cleaning.
