Okay, if I bring in the hype machine, things are going to get carazy! But Imma do it nonetheless. Because I can deal with crazy and all of its complicated sisters and brothers just fine. Soooo. I will say this about your photograph.
National Geographic.
Yes, it’s like I opened up a copy of National Geographic and plucked this beauty of a capture from it. Because it’s exactly that good. So wow. And whoa.
That is the highest compliment you can give an amateur such as I. And I shall gobble it up and put it in my pocket for those days when all I capture is a blurry mess.
Here you see everything. The other day a man had a little stand he called Noah’s Ark with rabbits, parakeets, two dogs and a big black cat. He wore a red vest and smiled like a carnival barker…step right up…It was amazing, and all these creatures just sat there.
And of course you’re not an amateur at this . . sooooo, there is that, yanno? 😉
In the spirit of Alanis Morrisette, you put that feel good pill in your back pocket and hum yourself into the next brilliant capture. Because it’s out there and you’ll find it. As per.
As they say in the old black and white films of yore, mum’s the woid. I ain’t sure why so many peeps had a heavy NY accent in those old black and white films of yore . . .
Yes . . yes maybe I am. And this movie will be the only reason I will probably have a craving for Twinkies for a hot minute.
Must have been a mass exodus to the west coast by New Yawkahs looking for gold in the Hollywood Hills. Or something like that.
You ain’t missing anything.
Every time I crave a Twinkie, I have a beer. The feeling soon-enough- passes. And in those instances when I STILL needs me a Twinkie? I end up downing a couple of ’em and then wondering what the hell Imma do with the rest of the box.
Welp, the crescendo of that whole come calling was Richard Harris’s turn as Marcus Aurelius in “Gladiator”. To watch Peter O’Toole’s old running mate go all Cappo in Roman garb whilst keeping to his British accent . . that was coo. If not completely unrealistic, in keeping with the flick.
I agree that in this particular case, it definitely works.
How about when all the actors – who are playing Russians themselves, speak English with a Russian accent, whilst Sean Connery, also a supposed Russian has the thickest Scottish one mixed in?
I’m so not an American. I don’t dig pic taking, bacon on my cheeseburger, sliders, fireworks or beef jerky. Keeping it mafioso or low key comunista, LOL
I have been trying to write my FF post all friggen day! I started it at home, had to leave for work and then tried to continue it there when it was dead and then got so busy I couldn’t. And now I’ve been bantering with a bunch of folks here and on a couple of posts! I’ve only 50 words.
So, in response to your query, I shall be doing a mix of both!
well when you put it that way – I will be over to check it out – (I am up late because I just finished a project – woo hoo – one down and about seven more unfinished things to tackle on that list!
We had a deluge here today…tomorrow we’re getting gusty winds. I have visions of the Wizard of Oz with Miss. Gulch goin’ by on her bike. Everyone is panicking…but the birds. 🙂
Pie…Hmm…would love some for breakfast. Banana Cream would be nice and bananas are so healthy. See, that’s how I’d justify 3 slices with my 8th cup of sugared coffee. I’m lucky I’m not dead.
