A Seal Ion? Eel-ectrifried?

Taken in an age when the
idea of phones with cameras
seemed so far into the future. . . Maybe
I'm not the Walrus. Maybe I'm
just a dinosaur - A-marc-asaurus
Nervous Rex - that's an old one,
right?
DID THE FLASH GO OFF?
Much like faith in a light switch doing its job, hoping to capture an image and wondering "Did the flash go off?" barely takes a moment, but it can give the illumination necessary to preserve an image for a lifetime.
It's a question I heard often at family gatherings - and one I continue to ask regarding my own flashes of brilliance: some underexposed, out of focus or perhaps not that bright after all. But every once in awhile . . . something clicks!
