 Hitting a nail on the head can cause it to bend.....gmink

Taken with a Sony A100 in one hand, a hammer in the other and a daylight fluorescent light overhead. My carpentry friends suggest I not give up my day job.

Reminds me of a Japanese proverb: "The nail that sticks up gets hit by the hammer". It's the flip side of "The squeaky wheel gets the grease". This is a good shot. Fits both "everyday" and "Wabi-Sabi".

This seems like a good picture but its hard to see through the compression artifacts.
