"That was the best ice-cream soda I ever tasted." — Lou Costello

Some days all you need is a bit of color and an open page to have a some fun. Stumbled across some warm colors right before Labor Day, the traditional end of summer (even though the Autumnal equinox isn't until the 22nd.) Thanks for looking.

Todd told me I made his day when I walked up to him and asked to make his portrait. Likewise, when he said that, he made my day. 

"Pain makes life colorful in dystopian adaptation."

I took some pictures of a barn.

And while on the topic of that color palette. A quick grab before the lights went down at a recent play practice.

"[...] A giant tumbleweed of a comedy drifting aimlessly through a laugh-free desert."

Some work from a couple assignments. Feels like I haven't shot much recently. Weird.

"It doesn't reinvent the genre, but it is a strong addition to the canon of films that fuse teenage anxieties of the body and social interaction with blood-soaked storytelling"

 I haven't shot nearly as much sports as I did last year.

 Be it the way the shifts fall, or because I'm working on other stuff.

 But when I do, it's kind of nice.

 To be able to sit back and comfortably shoot.

 Shooting for fun on the sidelines.

Less time searching and more time letting things happen.

 Focusing on the team.

 Focusing on the little things.

 So I won't complain when I have to shoot.

Until it gets to cold. And then I get tired of being inside. And then repeat.

"Mostly a lot of noise and nonsense, a garish enterprise that almost — though not quite — trivializes the tale."

 A spattering of daily assignments from the last month or so.

 Because I was too lazy to do it before now.

 And now, once again, I'm flooding the blog with too many pictures. Thanks for looking!
