Can't Sing...?

(Click on the photo to enlarge)

...it doesn't matter.

Bar is closing and everyone's leaving?
No problem.

Sound system is off and being unplugged?
Go right ahead, make a fool of yourself.

What is it with some women?
Get a few beers in them and:
"Everyone pay attention to me!!"

We're paying attention, honey.
But not in the way you want.
Personally, I'm thinking: "Great, now I have to wash the dick-breath out of that mic's windscreen."

Deception

(Click on the photo to enlarge)

It's pretty obvious what's about to happen here.
Doesn't take a genius to figure it out.
Evidence like this might not hold up in court but
it would easily convince a woman that her man was
a rotten bastard who deserves to sleep in his car.

And she would be wrong.
I was there, and all he was
guilty of is reaching out to grab his mic stand
so he could pack up his shit and hurry home.

Looks can be deceiving, and photographs lie.
And while I'm spouting cliches: Don't trust whitey.

Film Is Dead

(Click on the photo to enlarge)

This is a good friend's 35mm SLR.
Because there are solar-cells on top for keeping the batteries charged, it's a good idea to leave it under the desk lamp.
But after he went digital a few years ago, I don't think this camera has been used or even moved until I visited and decided to take this photo of it.
I'm not making fun of you, ML.
Just making the point that when you have a digital camera within reach it's awfully hard to bother picking up the old 35mm again.
Why bother?
Why wait for results?

I decided I wanted to be a good photographer right after I got my first camera at age seven.
34 years later, digital made learning about photography and doing it a hundred times easier, and I don't regret any of the photos I missed during the interim years.

While I didn't invent the phrase 'Fuck Film' it's been a part of my vocabulary for decades.
Glad to see the rest of the world finally agrees with me.
