Striking

lightninglores
"The Bolt" by Wexx

I think someone mentioned something about my old Nashville skyline shots. Well, here is my most famous one...

The bolt of lightning seems to hit the Bellsouth (aka Batman) Building. Believe it or not, I captured this shot back in college when I had little more than a Fuji FunPix point-and-shoot. It is absurd to think that normal people could catch a shot like this one with a lil' ol' piece of crap digicam. But, hey, I got lucky. And after catching this shot, I became rather addicted. Now, here I am.

So much symbolism in that photo:
A bolt of lightning in the left ear of Batman...

Seriously now:
That's a fantastic photo!!!
As the beginning of your career as a photographer just the right moment for a shot - seems like a call, isn't it?
