Good story! I can imagine what excuses the shooter was trying to come up 
with to tell his editor. Like we say,  it happens to everyone -- oops! I'll 
bet it never happened to you Larry! :) Never ever!

It happened to me about a year ago, shooting a children's pet festival. 
There were probably, oh, 36 outstanding, award winning pictures on that 
(virtual) roll of film! By gum!

Reminded of the famous story of Alfred Eisenstadt, so nervous about 
shooting Albert Einstein and Robert Oppenheimer together,that he forgot to 
load his camera. After clicking off several frames, he noticed his rewind 
knob was not turning, so after mumbling some excuse  about having to fix 
his camera, Eisenstadt went out into the hallway,loaded his camera and 
returned. He discovered that these two great personalities were so 
engrossed in conversation that they hadn't even noticed he was missing. The 
resulting photo can be seen in many Life Magazine retrospective publications.
