Sometimes pictures need lots of explanation. Sometimes they need none. Sometimes pictures were born to be the subjects of Caption This contests. (Can you call it a contest if there’s no prize for the winner? Does a congratulatory tweet count?) I’ll explain the story behind the picture on Friday’s Give Me Your Best Shot… Seven [...]
