!I remember walking around campus that day thinking about preparedness' looking for preparedness' wondering what preparedness was" No luck"

That evening' though' I was thinking about how Leatherman6s were an example of preparedness' and then I remembered an old pocketknife my grandfather had given me"

I tried to think of how I could make it interesting" It needed… atmosphere" It needed… lighting" But just shooting it with a 4ash turned out bland' so I <gured out how to get the 4ash focused on a small area of the scene -it6s called a snoot/"

It6s clear' I think' that absent the constraint of needing to take a certain kind of picture that night' I probably wouldn6t have ever headed down the path which resulted in the picture' nor would I have gained further practice in photography",Galagon Wagon' -http:00galagonwagon"com0$%..0%$0the+daily+shoot+and+creativity0/
