The Ballad of the Over Careful, Over Cursed Photographer..

JFG — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 14:11:49 GMT

Careful but Cursed

I cradle my camera like a fragile newborn, Polish the lens till the angels blow horns, I tiptoe through life with protective intent. And that's when the universe springs the event.

A strap catches something that wasn't even there, My "save spot" for the camera becomes mid air.

I guard it with caution, precision, and grace. Then gravity smirks and slaps it in the face.

For all of my rituals , careful and tight, Chaos still wins with a laugh and a bite. The Moral of the story carved deep in my soul: Sh.. Happens to cameras, control is a troll.

Joe,

I'm going to go out on a limb, throw caution to the winds, and hazard a wild guess.

You've had an accident, haven't you?

Hey Steve,

Hasn't everyone had an accident at one time or another? I hate to think, I'm the only lucky one!
