With the jokes in mind, is there anybody out there who wants to share with us the lighter side of their photographic life? A tragi-comic thing happened to me was when I was photographing Diana Spencer (Lady Di) and I had the definitive portrait in the 'can'. Unfortunately the 'can' dropped on the floor and spewed the undeveloped film onto the pavement. In those days I used to bulk load second hand 35mm film canisters to save money but after that never again!
