the scene of the crime

It was during the last JetBoil photo shoot of their European Honeymoon Extravaganza 2K6. The two love birds had just finished a romantic meal on the docks of Lake Zurich and wanted to capture the moment.

Why not some timed photos? Yes, of course. It's dark and we'll need as much light to seep into the lens as possible. But we'll have to tip the camera up to get the angle that we need. . . The lens cap! Yes, the lens cap.

"Anna, throw me the lens cap!" Peter shouted. "Okay, are you ready?" She yelled back. One. Two. Three. She tossed the cap into the air, expecting it to fly much like a frisbee, but instead it rolled on the cement right past Peter and the JetBoil on it's way to the chilly, deep dark depths of the lake.

They rushed over to the edge of the dock, hoping to catch the lens cap before it was too late. But it already was too late; they watched the cap sink slowly down, never to be seen again.
