April 7B: Don’t Do It Gary!!!

Rancho Bernardo, CA


This is a lesson to all you youngsters out there. Don’t let life’s traumas lead you to shooting yourself!

This is a SP taken by Gary today at lunch using my camera (while I was in the men’s room), and please note that he didn’t see (couldn’t see) the light fixture in the background that makes it look like he is shooting himself with a gun!

So the moral of the story is that you 'should' always note what is in background of a picture.

I can claim the post processing (levels, cropping, and desat.)

I was so tickled by the image that I have to post it as an additional PaD for the day. My “normal” post is at ***this location ***.

So the moral of the story is that you 'should' always note what is in background of a picture or use f/2 instead of f/13!

LOL at cliff and Dan... love the "serious nasal view" Kind of makes me feel like spelunking.
Dan Chusid08-Apr-2005 03:58
discounting the "gun" light, this is a scarey angle. Is Gary current on his meds ? ;-)
Karen Leaf08-Apr-2005 02:59
I'm just shaking my head. I thought Gary had got that all out of his system during the Mad Mag days???? You guys are dangerous when you get together.

Very funny, Robin. And Gary is getting his "just desserts" for stealing your camera whilst you were talking to that man about a horse.

Kind of a nosy fellow, don't you think?

OMG! When I looked at the thumb, even *I* was startled! Don't worry, everyone, the only way I shoot myself is with a camera! LOL
