Title: Looper
Post by: GreggP on May 22, 2018, 10:16:01 am
One of my favorite pieces of dialog from the movie Caddyshack is when Bill Murray's character Carl Spackler says:

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one—big hitter, the Lama—long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? "Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga." So we finish the 18th, and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know?" And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

I thought of that when I saw the guy in this photo-

A couple of things.  First, I'm having trouble finding a focus point/subject here.  Second, try to not cut off the tops of heads etc.   Exposure looks OK.
