I always have one, two, three or four cameras with me:) I suffer from
shutter block most of the time however :( I was on my way home a couple of
months ago and came across a gas tanker which had turned over on an entrance
ramp to the local expressway. As I looked up the expressway ramp, I watched
as fountains of gasoline spurted into the air while the truck driver was
jumping in front of cars trying to keep them from entering the on-ramp and
possibly igniting the gasoline. I considered pulling onto the shoulder and
using the Stylis Epic in my pocket to capture the drama. I ,instead,
considered the fireball I would be incinerated in if an ignition source
became available.
Oh well, lost opportunities....But I did have the camera !
