He was giving a press conference and there were a million photographers there - some tall ones, too. Luckily I had my pod and just raised the camera over my head.<br /><br />I, too, have passed up some people who I wished I had spent hours on. We just never know, do we?<br /><br />Nice piece. I see Bagman has returned. I think Dorothea dumped him on the beach in Thailand.aurbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234712574405718245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945783876327380823.post-36833097906196042012009-08-31T13:47:10.663-04:002009-08-31T13:47:10.663-04:00Now there's an idea whose time has come.

Such a waste of a life. He had a beautiful smile, with sparkling eyes. <br />On a lighter note,<br />I always have a tremendous respect for people I enjoy joking around with. It is difficult to remain respectful when you are trying to be funny sometimes. Where's that line in the sand? The people in question may not understand the high reguard in which they are being held. We can just try our best to communicate our respect and admiration.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241402645242821612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945783876327380823.post-47254914331364427582009-08-31T11:36:29.807-04:002009-08-31T11:36:29.807-04:00I love that Aesop tale and it is so true.
