The "Otis" effect
Remember the scene in Animal House, where after the boys enjoy a happy encounter with Otis Day and the Knights, they blindly assume that a second encounter will go just as well? As we fans of the film know, this was anything but the case! I frequently fall victim to the "Otis" effect, including everything from getting dogs to buying cars. I recently feel victim as a photographer, assuming that I knew how to work a new model who I thought was just like one I had just worked successfully with. Not!
