Paint by Numbers

I am forever thwarted by short battery life.

This morning, I attempted to capture shots of a woman in a silver Honda as she applied her makeup going through the tolls.

Sadly, I was never able to get a close enough shot (she was in the far right cash only lane). As I shot off picture after unusable picture, she continued her morning ritual, unaware. Just as I was in a prime position my camera shut down. The batteries were dead.

True to form, later in the morning as we were merging onto the West Side Highway, the woman in front of us (different woman, same brand of idiot) was putting on her makeup as well.

It would have been a beautiful picture.

I'm always tempted to roll down the window and shout out to the woman in question, "Give up! No amount of makeup will help!".

Have I mentioned yet that I'm mean?
