Personally, I loved the daydream about standing on stage (Elvis-like?) and tossing out platinum M6es to a screaming audience! But mine would've been simpler: I think it was the summer of '73 or so; I would've been about 11, and on a family road trip. As my folks were not much for advance planning, we arrived at peak season, in the scorching midday heat, and of course, could find no lodgings, and ended up spending maybe a half hour in the park; just long enough for my sister to snap a waterfall picture, then leave. I like to think what it might've been like to have spent more time there, and maybe encounter an old guy in a white Stetson. Would I have known who he was? No, but possibly, my folks would've, and maybe today, I'd get a big kick out of looking over an old snapshot (taken by one of my sisters, with a 126 Kodak) titled "Me and Mr. Adams"! That may have been an opportunity missed, but tomorrow, I get to hear one of my all-time favorite authors speak. No, it's Ray Bradbury--Dr. Suess died awhile back. I'll be taking the Leica, a 90 and fast film. Jeff
