Theres a story with this pic...
After work yesterday I headed out to take some pics. I was originally going to stop at a park, but needed to stop at a bank, so I drove to one that I knew was nearby. I found a cemetery across the street, and decided that since I had a splitting headache that it might help if I just went and took a walk, snapped some pictures, and got some fresh air before I went home.
I took this pic and a couple others, but was having problems with my HP. I would turn it on, then look through the small viewfinder, and it would appear as if I were zoomed in really close. When I hit the zoomout it didnt do anything, and when I turned the camera around, the lens wasnt even open, even though the green "on" light was on. Odd, but sometimes my camera acts kind of funky, especially when its running out of battery, so I assumed that was it.
I went to go back to my car to drive around a bit more and my remote key lock wouldnt work. (*grumble*). So, I unlocked it manually, and tried to start the car. It wouldnt start. No grinding, no noise, nothing. I tried the dome light. Nothing. The clock had reset itself at 1:00, and I couldnt even turn the accessories on. The battery was dead.
I called my husband at work, but it was after closing time so they didnt pick up the phone at the bank. I finally got a hold of my sister to come try to jump the car. My sister -- who is neither a photographer nor very sentimental -- thought I was crazy simply because I was in a cemetery.
We jump the car, and she drives with me back to my place. This morning the car starts fine. My husband and I drive it to the auto parts place, where they test the battery. It is fine. I tried starting it a couple more times (in case it was a wire connection or something)... it starts fine every time. We're going to take it down to my dad's so he can look at it tonight, but as of right now, no one can find ANY reason why it should have died yesterday. And my camera has been working fine again, too... there was nothing wrong with its battery either... I've shot much more since then and it still hasnt died.
I'm not superstitious or anything, but let's just say I will not be going back to that cemetery anytime soon... I dont think they liked me there.
