I hope it's ok to fold the card in half...that's what I did...
Ha, it's you card. You can do whatever you want with it!
I just looked at mine. It's been in my, little used, tri-fold credit card wallet for over a month and a half (can't fit in a pouch). The edges are starting to show signs of wear. I have removed it, taken iPhone pics, front and back, printed copies (reduced to fit in a credit card pouch) and put it in my passport folder in a safe place at home.
If you fold it, make sure the fold line doesn't deface anything written on it. Now, it's time to move on, IMHO.

What I told my doctor today is I've gone a long time without a cold or flu. Oh, 13 months at least. Of course people are wearing masks and avoiding each other in general, so there's that.
Syphilis, and smallpox are pretty easy to spot too. Well olde-time syphilis that is. The disfiguring stuff from centuries ago. Didn't archeologists diagnose an Egyptian king as a syphilis sufferer?

Facial disfiguration, like noses falling off and stuff. Something about the disease changed, or our immune systems changed. Now it's the usual "shot from the doctor, what the road ladies do to you" (speaking of Flo and Eddie).
My understanding is that both phones have to be running the app. The apps exchange codes, the code changes every few minutes. Big brother monitors where you are and who you are near. They notify you to get tested if necessary.
So if you go to a place of ill repute, they'll know. If a crime happens nearby, can the cops obtain your records to question you? I don't know. How secure is the data, can it be hacked?
Here comes the conspiracy topics:
Can they be trusted to maintain your privacy.
Has the govt ordered that an app be buried in the OS and it was already installed in an update?
If they want the data, maybe they should as China for it.
Al Capone died in prison of syphilis, didn't he?
Don't know, I wasn't there...heard it was tax evasion...

He had a card in his wallet...no one saw it.
Don Martin special, right there!
That's the charge on which he was convicted. Don't think they arrested him for syphilis.
Cause and effect...effect and cause. You weren't there, were you? You know I am not being serious, right?

I wasn't referring to a photo shoot. I've spent many hours setting those up. I was referring to those moments that occur during regular old living life. You see something out-of-the-blue, and want to capture it. That's when you can spend a gazillion hours waiting for the fleeting moment to reoccur.Which perfect moment are we referring to? When I was doing "serious" photography, I had my camera all ready, shutter release cable in twitching hand, waiting on that perfect moment.
Mine was the one in the middle.

Case in point.
I was on a large sailing vessel (Windstar) off of St. Bart's, watching the sun set over the horizon. And there it was! The infamous "green flash"! Wow!
For almost every single sunset on every cruise after that, I was ready with a camcorder, hoping to pull a frame or two out of the video when the green flash occurred.
I have never seen another one.

Well, there a different kinds of photo "shots"...
.
The thing that I learned from the Ansel books (I bought the series) was to know what you wanted the end product to look like before even touching the camera and then figure out how to go about accomplishing that image. Visualization is the key.
There was a nice article about this in the paper a couple of weeks ago: Link RemovedI wasn't referring to a photo shoot. I've spent many hours setting those up.
