The Kids In B&W

Shamoooooo

Did you ever notice that cows and killer whales have basically the same paint job?

Just wondering.

Fuzzy

This may be the next big thing in police cars. It's being designed from the ground-up to be a police car by a company called Carbon Motors. It's bigger than the Crown Vic and powered by a 300 HP clean-diesel engine with gobs of torque. Since it's not a tacked-on police package, all the features required of a cop car (lights, radios, laser/radar systems, license plate recognition system...) are built right in.

I like the rear-opening door for easier perp-stuffing.

Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.

[VINCENT]
But bacon tastes good, pork chops taste good...

[JULES]
Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherf***ers.

Although I don't share that particular hit-man's aversion to eating filthy animals, I am nonetheless not a big bacon eater. It's a little salty for me.

But my lovely bride loves it and every now and then she gets a craving for it and I am more than happy to make some.

Ahhh...sometimes life doesn't come out as we plan. As you can see, I burned it silly. I burned it rotten. Super-crispy-plus, it turned into a black steaming pile of smelly carbon. Extra, extra, extra well-done.

I post this as a kind of public humiliation to both document and commemorate my shame. I have since paid my private penance by buying more bacon and frying it perfectly golden crispy the way my lover likes it.

So, now I am cleansed.

Clean & Neutral

The office is getting closer and closer to a state of photo-licious perfection. I have this thing about working in a very clean area. My mind is full of clutter enough, I need to have a really sparse, gray-monotone workspace or I think too much about the surroundings and not enough about the work. You really want to keep the color down when you are working with color, to avoid any kind of influence from the surroundings. For that reason the walls are a pretty neutral gray, the blinds are silver, and the art is black & white, or very nearly. Dull, maybe, but practical.

Laying Out

My ever-lovely wife is helping me do the layouts for a wedding shoot I did. Here's one of my favorite pages.
