Somewhere I've got a pic of a S.Korean minisub...I'd crawled into the liberty van (it was packed, of course) through the back door...noticed the next pier over had a minisub tied up to it, and just happened have that momentary doubt as to whether my camera was loaded with film at the time, or the battery worked, or something. It just wouldn't do to let that go and not test it before leaving the pier we were tied up at! So...I let blast a few test frames. Darn minisub happened to be in the way of my pics of a perfectly good seagull....
