Well, here's mine: I was photographing in a local high school's graphics lab and I had set my M2 down while working low and close photos with the 21 on my M6. Of course I walked away and went to the next site in a hurry to catch up with the PR person. I realized I forgot the camera after about 5 minutes and raced back asking around if anyone had seen or found the camera. Finally a one of the kids indicated where it was. I thanked them and returned to my shoot. It was only when I processed the roll that I discovered that one of the youths had photographed one of the other youths exposing her ample bosom. Unfortunately, the photos were underexposed and out-of-focus. The problem with kids these days is they only know how to user point and shoots and don't know beans about making a properly exposed and focused photo. I was glad to get the camera back and had a good laugh afterwards. I won't go into the Canon 100mm I once left on the bumper of my car. - -- Carl Socolow http://members.tripod.com/SocPhoto/ New email address: csocolow@mindspring.com
