" it's a wonder "

---

i was called upon to take photographs at my boss's house last night.

i took approximately 300 photos. and they're great, considering 99% of them are flash-photography pics, and i normally use my flash unit .018% of the time.

she informed me that absolutely none of them can be used for publishing in a newspaper article (which is the reason i was supposed to take the photos in the first place).

nary a single photo fit a passing "look" of what constitutes as usable in a 300k shot-developed-then-scanned-photo file that will ultimately be presented in three-color separation, crappily miniaturized, photoshopped slightly, newspaper articles.

even though i feel somewhat rejected, i have to rhetorically ask,"um...yeah, so what you're saying is...hm, uh so what did you want anyways?"

the silent and empty answer falls parallel to the open-ended question.
