Shoot in the dark. Recharge from drain.

This cam is good, so good you see!
So I will shoot with a softbox.
And I will set exposure locks.
And I will show my model's poise.
And I will stop this ISO noise.
And I will set this tripod straight.
Say! I will even SET THE DATE!
I do so like

Thank you!
Thank you!
Sam-I-Am!

When Dr. Seuss wrote green eggs and ham, he was bet that he couldn't write a book using 50 words or less -- so the entire book used only 50 total words...just a bit of trivia for you all.

ROFL... I read that book to my 5yo girl for bedtime last night. I read the beginings and she completed the sentences or paragraphs. I love that book. We do it in all sorts of odd voices, accents, and characters. Sometimes I do it as Opera Man, clear the house!
I've never seen this photog version, haha, RTFM!
:-D
