The Developing of a Picture

Too much curiosity kills the cat. Likewise, too much ambition kills a career. You sound skeptical but its true. I would know from experience. Let me tell you a story.
It was a rainy Tuesday dated August 8 1998. I remember the date because August is the eighth month of the year and I though how funny it was that there were so many eights in the date! It was late, and I was tired but I still needed the perfect picture. You see, I work for a calendar business. Sure, it may sound lame to you but I get paid to take beautiful pictures that they put in their calendars. Its a small business, and deals locally mostly, but its still my dream job. Any who, I was still out looking for that one moment in time, that one “you had to be in the right place at the right timeâ€? kind of picture. One that would not only take my breath away, but yours if you bought that calendar. I saw my reflection in a window and thought, “why not.â€? So I snapped a picture. A quick photo-op if you will.
