Leeg op het verkeerde moment

Dit verhaal is o zo herkenbaar: juist op het moment dat je een ‘fantastische’ foto wilt nemen zegt uw toestel dat uw kaart vol of de batterij leeg is.

Of bijtanken in het geval van de auto. http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/forty-years-after-napalm-girl-picture-a-photographer-reflects-on-the-moment-that-might-have-been-his/2012/06/13/gJQAfoToeV_story.html
