Ok..no image here or anything, just something I found quite amusing. I do photography as a school subject, and my teacher is a really funny and artistic guy, with lots of talent. He has worked as a semi professional photographer for 20 years odd, but in his lifetime he had never been able to work out what the f in f-stops stands for. So he promised anyone who could find out what the f stands for would get a free film and a Chupa Chup. Being in constant need of cash, I thought a free film would be nice to have..so I started searching for the answer. And guess what. In his career as a photographer, all the time he had been wondering, the answer had been right there in front of him - he just didn't think it would be there, so he never bothered looking. Yeah guess where it was - the dictionary! I got a free ASA400 b/w film for looking a word up in the dictionary.... Life is sweet! ~M~
