You know how, when you're watching something like Olympic gymnastics, you think, "Wow, that was really cool." While you admire the skill, never ever ever do you say, "Hey, I should try that! I could do a triple yuckity yuck somersault thingy off a vault."
That's how I feel about Weekend Word Challenge and the people who submit entries. It's really cool, but I never consider getting out my old-ass digital camera and making a go of it.
I can barely capture Lumpyhead the way I want (you know, with his hair full of squash or his finger up his nose), so the idea of capturing something meaningful or artistic is completely foreign to me. I curse the shutter lag and can't figure out how to use flash when I need it and take pictures of my fingers.

No fill-in flash

Maybe Odd Mix can give me a remedial pat-pat on the head and come up with a Weekend Word Challenge that would fit my photos ("Hapless"? "Mommy's a Moron"?). That way, I could take part!
I'm such a loser.
But if you're not as big a loser as I am, you should totally check out the WWC. And submit. Submit!

See, that is the beauty of digital. I take 800 pictures a day and four are good.
I take the same picture 20 times (I'm not exaggerating, ask Gabe) and then I pick the best one.
Actually, now that I think about it, my digital camera has made me kind of OCD.
