Somehow that does not seem like it would improve the photos.
Here is even more disappointment for you. I don't drink coffee at
all. I actually left Seattle before the coffee craze hit. I think
it was mid 70's when it really started. A coffee story. I was
teaching in a small town in Eastern Washington (Odessa) and driving
to Seattle at least once a month for Navy Reserve duty. A fellow
teacher asked for a ride, as her boyfriend lived there, so we
obliged. I got off reserve duty at about 4:30 and it was a 5 hour
drive back. She insisted that we come to her boyfriend's business,
an espresso shop in the U district that he was starting, and have
some coffee. This was in 1976. We said we do not drink coffee, but
she insisted and said he could put chocolate in it for me, so I said
OK. Well, that stuff was strong, especially for someone who never
drank coffee. I downed it and then drove home. No chance of
sleeping on the road. In fact, I lay awake most of the night
staring at the ceiling, heart pounding out of my chest. Next
morning at school I was out of it. I remember standing in front of
my physics class writing something on the blackboard (yes, it really
was a slate blackboard) and finally one of my physics students said,
"Mr. Langhans, what are you writing?" I stepped back and looked and
it made no sense to me, so I announced "Study Hall" and just sat
there. That is one of two coffee stories I tell.
I don't blame you for not drinking coffee. I don't drink the stuff
either. It contains water... and I would rust. ;-)
I'm afraid that I don't "do" coffee, or single malt scotch. I am
such a disappointment to many photographers!
