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

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.

 

Cheers,

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!
