This is my wonder cabinet. This is my Cornell Box. This is my place to put things that I find and I like. Enjoy your stay.

Overheard in a Camera Shop: Sneaky Camera Testing

Overheard in a Camera Shop: Sneaky Camera Testing

Customer: I want to test this camera with my memory card so I can check the pictures at home on my computer.
Salesperson: That’s very smart of you – of course I’ll let you do that.
Customer: Can I try it with a background flash?
Salesperson: Normally I’d say no, but I’m not busy… so… sure, why not?
Customer: Can we shoot it on a white wall with even lighting?
Salesperson: Whatever you’d like.

*Customer shoots a few frames of the Salesperson*

Customer: Can you shoot some of me?
Salesperson: You’re just using this for a passport photo, aren’t you.
Customer: How’d you know?
Salesperson: I shoot over 20 passport photos a day and you thought I wouldn’t catch on?
Customer: No
