I decided to head to KL last Thursday with a Garmin, my full gear and my sweet new EOS baby (wait… let me rephrase… my ruggedly built, ferocious EOS kid). I came face to face with the dreaded Shooter’s Block!!! Armed with a brand new EXTREME lll – 4gig CF card to add to my ammunition, not a single shutter click, not even the inconspicuous beep of the AF point focusing could be heard. With petrol prices going through the roof (and to make it even more painful), commencing on the day I decided to make a solo road trip around KL, and coming back sans photo, the even more dreaded Shooter’s Blues befell me.
I saw sights worthy of print and paper, but something was holding me back, something was pulling my hands down. As I looked at my gear comfortably seated next to me, only one thought came to me: “I’ll be back, and I’ll getcha next time, I’ll shootcha next time….”
For those who wished we were in another country, in a foreign land because we just seem to suffer from a lack of photo-ops, you are missing out on a lot…….
