You don't bet, You can't win. by mcsiegle

You don't bet, You can't win.

For the album cover challenge.

The band's name is Panorpodidae. The wikipedia article defines it as a small family of scorpionflies. I won't bore you with the two genera that come under that. I imagine them to be the kind of hard-rocking band that would name themselves that. :-)

The album name is "You don't bet, You can't win." The quotes site had, "Of course the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you--if you don't play, you can't win." It's a quote from Robert Heinlein's Time Enough for Love. However it's a slight misquote. The actual quote is "Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you; if you don't bet you can't win." I debated whether to go with the words as I got them in the random quote, or as Heinlein wrote them. I went with Heinlein.


Wow! This is a really great entry! LOVE the face!

I've made a start. Your challenge is to shoot an everyday object ... from an ant's point of view. Have fun!

@nzsportpix Ant's point of view, huh? We used to have little bitty ants that would take advantage of anything sweet or otherwise appealing on the kitchen counter during the summer...I'll put on my thinking cap; it sounds like fun. Thanks, David!

@luvmynynix @hippiechick13 @kareenking @alicias @vignouse Thank you for your comments. I'm glad you like it. The face is a weird little decorative brooch I have. I took a bunch of shots of it against the black cloth. A good number of them were well focused and detailed, but this "bad" out-of-focus one seemed to work better for the album. Go figure!
