A beautiful day in Monterey. Top down, all day to photograph Point Lobos. Wife i n a class (What's taking so long to take a picture).Crank up the car-wife pokes head out of the motel door. "Would you like to take your camera?" That wasn't th e end. I get to a "good spot" set up etc. Whip out the Pentax spotmeter, Depress the trigger=NADA, nuthin. Apparently my loupe was pressing against the trigger in the backpack and the Battery pooped out. Spare? sure, at home. Sunny 16 here I come. Did this ever happen to Ansel? George
