I am beginnig to get the shakes. Cold beads of sweat are forming on my forehead. My vision is blurring. Oh, hold on, I forgot to put my glasses on.
Much better now re: vision.
Still got the shakes and cold sweat stuff. So damn cold and windy. Nothing of intrest in the hotel room to shoot. Couple of interesting subjects in the lobby but they probably work only for Doug Rowan :lol:
Ducks and geese have headed south again. I think I will go to the pet store tomorrow and borrow a puppy or kitten or even a tame guppie.
Will probably end up taking shots of breakfast.
This weather sucks big. :cry:

Stick the front of you lens against the hotel room door where the peep-hole is and take a picture of people passing by. You might get some interesting shots that way. :shock: :lol:

Take a trip over to ringside and see if you can get some sparring photos of the boxers. Maybe Otis and Howard Grant or one of the Hilton Bro's will be there.

Get some thin book about ducks (sure they have it at the local bookstore), open the page, put it behind some flower in your hotelroom, hide behind the cushion, take your cam and shoot...
ok ok... it's not like in real nature, but it's better than nothing :twisted:

All of the above were very good suggestions and were tried with varing results. I did not get arrested, no broken lenses due to doors opening, and I have a new duck book. Mat Hilton wanted to use me as a sparing partner but I didn't want to hurt him :lol: :lol:
I however found the ultimate solution. Packed my bags and got the hell out of Dodge.
Got a date down by the lake tomorrow........never guess what I'm going to shoot ? ? ?

Sandy,
Usually have Cream of Wheat for breakfast. Guess it would look like duck poop. Geez, I don't think I'll ever be able to look at a bowel of it again. :cry:
