While I was out with a beautiful model, (she looked like Darryl Hannah, only she had fiery red hair!) we heard on the radio that a serial killer had escape the County Prison unit. Since the only large town was on the other side of the prison from where we were shooting glamour shots with the blooming dogwood trees as backdrop: we felt that he would not be coming our way. He was a particularly nasty fellow that liked to throttle his victims and then disembowel them with the hook he had on his right arm. Well, we proceded to do about 30 or 35 rolls of Velvia, using my M3, and the 90mm Summicron-M- the later one with the built in hood, and the 135 Elmar as well as a few with the Summicron 50 DR, when the light had started to fade- it was about 2 pm. So with the light failing, we decided to go get a bit of late lunch. As we were pulling away, we were pulling away, we were startled by a 'thump', but figured that the car had gone over a rock or tree limb on the ground, there in the woods. Well, after lunch and taking the model back to her college dorm, you can imagine my horror in finding a bloody hook hanging from the rear bumper hitch of the car when I went to retrieve my camera gear.... Fortunately, the camera and all the lenses were safely nestled in their Billingham 335 bag, in the trunk, and had not been harmed at all! Boy! Was I ever relieved!
