Ride started out per usual - newspaper guy back in place with a hearty, "Good morning, guys" as Dave and I boarded the bus. Bicycle guy got on and soon he and newspaper guy were chatting up a storm. People (or should I say, men - where have all the women gone?) continued to fill the bus and Dave was telling about a Sports Illustrated film he watched in his photojournalism class. He described how close the early sports photographers could get to baseball players during the game and used the proximity of himself and another passenger as an example. Next thing you know, that passenger was talking with us about famous photographs. He was spot on with the discussion and Dave affirmed the man's accuracy. He was just a regular guy - nothing to set him apart, and yet he turned out to be a perfect person to join the conversation on famous photographs. Ever the curious one, wish I knew his history, but will accept the karma that he was properly placed at the proper time. Bet we don't see him again on the morning bus, either. Seemed like a one time thing, but very well timed. In honor of the photographic discussion, the picture of the day is the Canon EOS D20 - the digital camera of choice for discriminating photophiles.

#4123 (I think....)
Geez, I looked and then got caught up in the ride events and now the number is located in a gray matter fogspot. Need to note these details - guess I'm a failure as a reporter, but hey, I'm not in the Cronkite school, so who cares?
