Everyone has a story of “the one that got away”. Here’s mine.

This was one of the few times I went out to do “research photography”, meaning I had a specific insect I wanted to photograph.

What is it? Well, it’s a flying grasshopper. Fortunately I got one picture of it before it flew off, and it was just close enough and just focused enough to be able to use it… as G.R. Hopper’s avatar icon on the site.

So, say hello to the author of the Halloween Story… he’s very camera shy. :-)
