HT2194 - When Losers Aren't Losers The other day I pulled out a box of prints that I last reviewed probably a dozen years ago. I was disappointed there were so many bad photographs that for some reason I had decided were worth printing and keeping. I then showed this collection to a friend who picked out three "losers" they wanted, thereby demonstr…
