Bart doesn't like to be in pictures, nor does Babs. But she's good at hiding her antipaty for my camera sometimes.
Day 159 of 365 (Year Two)
So tonight a buddy of mine performed at a stand up night at a bar in Essex. I didn't find out until Friday that this was even happening. I sent out a bunch of invites hoping that some of my friends and contacts might not have already made plans, but considering the invites didn't go out until Saturday, nobody I knew was able to make it.
The show was supposed to start at 7:30, but at 8:00 we were still missing two comics and there were only six audience members who didn't HAVE to be there. The other two comics finally showed up around 8:30. One was just running late and the other got lost on his way. The host had hoped that by waiting on them more people might wander in. Nobody did.
I don't know if it was the heat or the late notice, but at the start of the show there were six of us, plus our waitress. Halfway through the show, the three other audience members got up an left. The comic they had come to see had done his set and they apparently had other plans.
That left the three of us, plus the waitress as the audience. The comics were for the most part really funny, but it is kind of awkward performing for four people. We laughed and we clapped, but three people can only make so much noise.
The three of us had a good time regardless, but it was an interesting night. I've been to a few other shows put on by this MC and they've always been really good. I don't know if it was the heat, or the location, or the late notice, but tonight really didn't go off how we expected it too. Hopefully, the next time they put one of these together, more people will show up.

Bart was our first Pembroke Welsh Corgi. (Adopted as a rescue dog at the age of 6 months) After 12 years of dedicated service to our family, Bart crossed over the rainbow bridge on 4/15/02. He was a great dog.

I was hoping to get a photo of this young man in profile, unnoticed, but wound up with this shot. When I saw in the capture that he’d seen me, I immediately went to him and said: “I just took this picture of you and I think it’s really cool (showing him the photo). Can I keep it and use it on my photography site?” He smiled when he saw the photo and said, kind of excitedly (to my surprise): “Yeah, that’s cool! Yeah, sure.” In that brief conversation, I realized the kid was probably a lot younger than I’d initially thought, and maybe not as tough as what he wanted to project (assumptions based on observations and some life experience – but assumptions nonetheless).
After a pretty rigorous self-assessment of this interaction, I felt that I acted ethically enough, mainly because of my respect for my subject. However, if anyone reading this has opinions either way on the ethical dimensions of this photo, I hope you’ll share them, and that you'll be candid. (I find the ethics of street photography to be a great discussion topic.)
