August, 2002. Hot day. 100+ degrees fahrenheit. Blew a sensor in the truck coming down the mountains from Reno. Airport-style manned security check to get into the building. Even checked IDs. A weird hodge-podge of architectural styles inside--a grand old building as victim of random indiscriminate remodeling. The men's room reeked of a 70s remodeling job.

Nearly gave up on an internal shot. Old man in the stall next to me was clearly having difficulty finishing his mission. With my business complete and soundcheck to make in San Francisco, I could wait no longer.

"Oh, look at that!" I exclaimed, and off went the flash.
