By all rights this image should not exist. This was a spur-of-the-moment shot. It was taken indoors, with oblique, late-afternoon light streaming through the window, and using shutter speed that was almost a third slower than my non-image-stabilized lens required. I had just walked indoors and hadn’t bothered to adjust my ISO when I saw Marshall staring out the window. He saw me raise the camera out of the corner of his eye and when he turned I grabbed the shot. Miraculously, I the resulting image was razor-sharp. Days like this it is better to be lucky than good.

This is what happens when you combine a rainy day, an empty parking deck, and a two foot tall Godzilla wannabe. This image was taken on July 4, 2008 and while the weather wasn’t cooperative, watching Mia charging up and down the parking deck more than made up for the intermittent showers. And it only took three adults to keep her contained!
