Never let an old fart take a photograph. Here's how this happened. The old fart in question set the camera on the tripod and got the shot framed up. Then the old fart pushed the shutter release button, apparently in the mistaken belief that he had also set the self timer for a 12 second delay. He had not set the self timer for a 12 second delay. He had, in fact, simply taken a photo without giving his fellow Klatschers a chance to turn around and mug for the camera. The saving grace in all this is that the old fart in question is not seen in the photo (because he was behind the camera, pusing the wrong buttons) and so, is able retain his anonymity. Whew.
