Things that make you go hmmm.....

When I was younger, this was many moons ago, there was this late night show called Arsenio Hall. Arsenio was a comic and his show was millions cooler that the Tonight Show or anyone else. In his monologue he used to do this bit, "Things that make you go hmmm." It was mainly crazy stories pulled from the news.
Anyways, today I experienced something that puzzled me. It wasn't a crazy story. It just irked me. Let me begin by first publishing an outtake from the shoot today that made me go hmmm. This pict didn't make me go hmmm. I just think it is a nice pict, and didn't fit with the subject of what I was shooting, so I didn't turn it in.

This is Senator Kerry before debating Newt Gingrich on global climate change. I don't recall seeing too many pictures of the senator smiling. He was always portrayed as a grim fellow.

Anyways, the thing that made me go hmmm was this



The genius that is Mark Abraham says it is glare. Even though I had my lens hood on, the light of the chandelier made for some nasty glare. In other pictures it even bleeds into Senator Kerry's suit. Needless to say I had a lot of pictures that were rather lovely, but couldn't be turned in because of the glare. Mark said back in the day they used to use cardboard to elongate the lens hood to prevent this, but I can just use my hand. The problem is I didn't see the glare when I took the picture, otherwise I would have move to a better location.
Oh well.
