in all likelihood we have all botched a photo opportunity at various times...just prior to the Peru trip my Pentax SLR seized up, the shutter expired forever...still I did manage to borrow a Canon AE-1, with an after-market telephoto lens, for the trip.. clearly I was not familiar with the camera, and further complicated the adventure by taking slide film, much less forgiving than negative film...here is one shot to prove (the sky was cloudy, yet completely blown out here) that, taken at the famous lost city of the Incas...once again my old friend provides a focal point
