I Wish I Had My Camera...
 

There is a man in town who rides around with his Chocolate Labrador Retriever sleeping on the dashboard of his van. Yes, I said dashboard! I laugh hysterically whenever I pass him. It's one of those "I wish I had my camera" moments.

As creative folks, our brains are trained to pay attention. Look for details. Notice the un-noticed so it becomes part of our work--our writing, our art, our ideas.

This new feature hopes to capture those moments--for those of us lucky enough to catch them on film (disk, memory card or whatever they call it these days).

Maybe it's something that made you laugh. Or gave you a great idea. Something offbeat? Something sublime? Something that made you stop, wonder, and think "I wish I had my camera!"
