It's not facing such a situation.... but turning the back! I wanted to set up the camera to 'auto' and run and sit there on that chair [not seen]. I did that, but I can't recall where I lost those seconds.... I'm still to cover 15 feet of running and sitting to face the camera! Hope you notice the DG-T'shirt and the urgency shown in the 'body language'! What a bad shot it makes!

There was another one in the 1960s -- my grandfather was in that group picture -- Rotary Club. Those were days when the 'auto timer' was coming into vogue. So, the photographer, also a member supposed to stand for the picture in the group, it appeared, went and stood after making the setting. He got a doubt and so wanted to check on it. The picture shows this man stepping out of the group, in blurr. We have laughed and laughed at this in our younger days. Now, this fate has befallen me!
