Smithsonian Institute - as I was about to get into a cab. I was in DC with my parents, who could not walk another step so we hailed a cab. (we walked all day, all over DC. I was ready for the cab too!)

Rules #4 and #8
Camera was hanging around my neck, as I got into the Cab, I grabbed the camera, so it didnt hit side of cab, in doing so I hit the shutter. This photo was the result.

    I'm sure that the Smithsonian Inst. won't be happy with your photo. Such a slanted image for a respectable institute but it sure shows a hipshot.
