A friend of mine got married this past weekend. He asked if I would photograph the event and, against my better judgement, I agreed. It was a remarkably beautiful celebration of the love and commitment that underpins storybook marriages. I offer a little joy to brighten your day on this Xmas Eve.

I find it difficult to be outraged or even sympathetic when someone becomes a victim of the kind of lawless and violent behavior that they have advocated for.

JUST BECAUSE THE CLOWN CAR GOES VERY FAST DOES NOT MEAN IT ISN’T FULL OF CLOWNS

just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns
just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns
Whatever the immediate fallout of the scandal, what is going to stick around is the impression it gives, of hapless idiots doing ridiculous things. And I think that seriously reduces the appeal of capitulating to these jokers.
