Cover Your Clam!

After a nice dinner and flirting with our waitress, she suggested we go to “Louie’s” because that is where everyone from work goes after work. We took that suggestion as a hint, but found it to not be the case. The bar was empty when we walked in. We checked out the main floor, the top floor, and found no one. But we noticed some people coming in and out to use the restroom via a door on the far side of the dining room.

What we found beyond that door was… interesting. To say the least.

We found Kimberly. A very attractive 20’ish young woman who was whooping it up with her friends one last time before… before the big day!

Wedding? No.

Military deployment? No, no.

No, as she told the entire bar many, many times over in a very loud, slurring voice during the next couple of hours that we got to know her, she was heading in for breast augmentation surgery the next morning. Under doctor’s orders, she could drink until 11:30, but after that she couldn’t have anything. So she was taking in as much as she could.

As You Were

Photographers do what they do for many reasons.  Because of that, sometimes I just like photographing photographers working.

I took this picture at the Oklahoma City Memorial.  This young woman had set up large, wooden carvings of words...  Love, Hope, Peace...  around the plaza and was artistically photographing them with the various elements of the memorial bathed in a red glowing sunset; the long shadows creating their own drop-shadow effect.

I wish I could have seen the final results, but I didn't want to disturb her in her work...

Love.

Peace.

Hope.

I wish these things for everyone.
