Does that explain the invention of ZCDs?

One of the best photos of myself ever taken (in my opinion) was, in fact, during a work trip to Australia. We'd just landed in Sydney, and had gone to a city park on the waterfront. My feet told me that they wanted to take a dip in a different ocean, so that's what I did.
A co-worker (who is also a part-time photographer) asked if he could snap a picture, and when I seemed resistant, pointed out that it was for the Muffin Man. He got a good one of me actually smiling.
