Excuse me, I'm going to go in the other room and put my finger down my throat.

What was the exposure time? I see a few blurry people.

That is one long dog!

When I posted this shot of my friend Liz, she messaged me within minutes, asking me to "send her that epic photo!" You got it, Liz!

Great, very symbolic. What are you going to DO, Congressdude?

Wait, I thought we had a mental health problem in this country? Now they're saying it's a gun problem? I don't know who to believe any more.

Raindrops on railings and good guitar pickers,
Big old cheeseburgers and cheap bourbon liquor...
These are a few of my favorite things.

Trump is Exhibit A in why it's good for you to get punched in the face while young. You learn to not be an asshole. In his case, they should have started at birth.

I start with a 1:4 ratio cropped in Lightroom. Then I use an online tool called Image Splitter, but there are others. When you upload, you choose the output options so it spits out 4 square crops that render seamlessly.

The Human Toe has ears on his toe-shaped noggin. Shame if someone missed one by an inch or two.

Police don't keep people safe. They arrest suspects and/or investigate after a crime has occurred. They may or may not be part of the process of finding justice.

I had his one of his tunes stuck in my head while we hiked around the Chisos Basin, and when I saw this old, dead tree, I thought, "Yep, that fits." I sent him the pic. Anyhoo, he has a new single out, and he used this photo to promote it. Happy to support him!

Go look up his YouTube channel. 2/2

Art inspires art inspires art.

Out in the Big Bend region, there's very little radio/cell reception. We managed by playing music already saved on my phone, including a set of tunes by a guy out of Fort Worth who goes by Brokestring Burnett. 1/2

Thanks!
