Before digital cameras came along, you had to set your "F stop" to the proper setting to have the right exposure for your photos. There was a saying among photojournalists: "F8 and be there."--set your camera to F8, and get to the scene ready to go. Not that much has changed, really.

Welcome to the Observer's Photo Blog

Truth be told, I wanted to be a photojournalist when I grew up.

Quotes

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough."

"The pictures are there, and you just take them."

Wayside Waifs: May 14

I hadn't visited the animal shelter Wayside Waifs for a little while, so I decided it was time. I love going and petting and playing with the cats, who love attention, and getting my dog fix (I do like dogs--at this point I really like Other People's Dogs the best).

I found at the shelter among the animals there that day...

Two very lazy orange tabby cats...

One playful buff orange kitty...

And one pug. This lovely lady came to the shelter as a stray...if only dogs could talk.

I would wager that the pug is adopted and all the kitties are still available. To check out available animals ahead of time, visit www.waysidewaifs.org.

    I am going to try it, intimidating though it may be . . .
