 In an attempt to discover a 'decisive moment' I went for a wander along our main street two nights before submission was due, which also coincided with one of THE major football games of the year - the State of Origin. This gentleman was outside one of our local pubs and was utterly unconcerned that I was snapping away. He was also totally oblivious to the build up of game excitement occuring in the pub behind him. He was also, most probably, drunk. Of 5 shots, this one captured 'it'.
