"Welcome to our next challenge. For this outing, Brad, author of the blog, "We-Is," really came up with a unique and innovative theme for us, here is how he explains his idea for us...
"Take a photo of your hand. Post it untouched, without any digital enhancements. Then, tell us about your settings (and shooting conditions) and what you would do to enhance... post capture. For those of you that like to run enhancements - post that too, as a before and after."
The problem was... I shot my hand...
I'm not a gun person. Never seemed to have the need to hunt anything on four legs or two. But this weekend, at a nice father son retreat, we had the opportunity to go to the rifle range and practice target shooting. My son thought it was fun last year, so, why not.
After 20 minutes of shooting several clips, a small jam. I thought I would help. The gun went off and the GSR (that's gun shot residue) along with bits of molten copper, brass and lead flew out the seared into my palm. Ouch!!!
I shot my hand.
Be careful what you ask for...

Hi Brad
I am not sure what to say. I am so sorry you hurt your hand, I hope you are feeling better soon. WOW!
Always, Carly
You know, you really didn't need to take your topic so literally! My your hand heal quickly and fully!
(That was supposed to say, "May your hand heal...")
Brad -
Been trading comments with your wife. It's interesting because one of the characters of my current novel is a young guy who deals with his grief over a friend's suicide by interpreting her poetry through photography mixed with computer graphics -
I offered to help your wife with stroke research for her latest novel idea ... maybe if I needed some help with photography research?? ... ??
I'm mostly just messin' - have a great day!
