It snowed yesterday where I live, so it's time for a sleighride song. This ditty is sung to the tune of Jingle Bells and is called "Wannabe's Lament." It's a cheerful tune about the photographer I could have been, if only I'd had the right equipment. Sigh!

When it's so hot that fire hydrants hold signs that read, "Dogs Welcome!" or so cold that you have to chew your vodka shooter, photographers must take special precautions to maintain focus.
