He Can Only Be The Thing Spokesmodel As Long As He Avoids a Sex Scandal

I run a Goddamned family photoblog here, Gentle Viewers.

I'm a Modern Day Don Marquis.

Kudos to any Gentle Viewers who get that lame joke.

You Have Been Warned

So you can't say you didn't have it coming.

Good God, I'm taking photos again.

Your lowly and humble photographic servant's Observatory.

Most images of lightning, sunrises, rainbows, unicorns, etc, I simply take without leaving my apartment. I shoot straight out between those 2 steeples. This is looking BACK at my place. Please, no shooting.

Also known as 'What I SHOULD have submitted to Shutterday.' You'd think I could get my own stupid photo contest right. It wouldn't be so bad but it's the DESKTOP of my DRIVE IN MOVIE SIZED MAC! It's been making my apartment yellow all winter.

Oooo..future theme! Shutterday: Post Regrets.

I AM SO ready.

Stupid Triglycerides

Damn you, Dairy Dream. Damn you to Hell!

Friends Know What You Like and What You ARE Like.

This 77 pc Lego model of the Empire State Building from my NYC7hrPhotoSafari® partner in crime, Cheryl Herbert Walker Bennett.

She gave it me WEEKS ago and I wasn't going to put it together because I thought it was one of those Puzz things. Once I saw it was Lego I thought maybe it was within my skill set. Posting it here because when I told her I finally got it put together I don't think she believed me.

Attention My CARNIE FRIENDS!!!!

I got this letter today and am just passing it along. I've never seen the show but here is some info if any of you are interested (and eligible)

Hello Jeff,

My name is Michele and I work on the Discovery Health Channel series, I'm Pregnant and... The programs air on Tuesday nights at 9:30pm. The series has been very successful so we have been asked to gear up for a second season. We are looking to have one episode about a woman who is pregnant and is a carnie. We are currently looking to profile a woman who is giving birth ideally in March or April but can be giving birth through as late as early June.

My colleague saw your blog and it seems you have a lot of contacts in the carnie world so I wanted to reach out to you for your help. Each episode is a half hour long and is sort of split into three parts, pre-birth and backstory, the birth, and the follow up after the birth. We will financially compensate the person chosen for the program.

I'm trying to get the word out to as many people as possible. Feel free to send my email out to others. If you know anyone who is interested, they can contact me by sending an email to mspinak@sirensmedia.com.

Thanks so much. -- Michele Spinak

Enclosed are some phone numbers for Michelle is anyone is interested, let me know and I will send them along.

(Feel free to ignore the fact that your lowly and humble photographic servant detests shows like this and feels they are what's wrong with TV and America today. :) )

Just so you know the company you will be in your may want to check out the series website.
