    It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

    Saying to oneself, "I've brought my camera with me to work every day this week and have seen nothing photo worthy on my way to or from the office. I think I'll leave my gear at home today...."

    Steve, who said you could quote me? j/k This is probably my biggest problem. Seems whenever I do not bring the DSLR something good happens at FRG.

    Derf Rules revised 10-21-98

    1. Camera is always 1/2 the length of your arm away at all times (showering 3 feet away is ok)
    2. Charge batteries.... I do not care what time it is.....Charge the Batteries, no battery should ever be uncharged for more than 4 hours....ITS A LAW!
    3. PRACTICE
    4. SEE RULE 3
    5. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PASSING RULE 4 FOR?
    6. FAIL
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    Amen. Fred, how many times have you yelled at me in the last year alone for being unprepared? Nobody to blame but my own stupid self.

    I never leave my camera at home anymore. I did it once and as luck would have it, Air Tran had their Indianapolis Colts livery at the gate for a six a.m. departure. Being that is the only FL special livery I'm missing for my JP.net collection, I was about as sad as finding out my dog died. So, even if I'm just going to the supermarket, my camera bag is always in the trunk of my car.
