Jasper got a new bow tie for Christmas from one of his human cousins. Thought it paired nicely with his fedora. Getting his bow tie to show was a challenge though. The boy is furry.

Many moons ago I once helped to shoot a wedding. A co-worker of Brandon's was tying the knot and enlisted him to shoot, Brandon subsequently asked if I wanted to help. What better way to try out my markiii? I had a busy day but moved an interview to the earlier part of the day which is where I snapped this shot.
I ended up putting in way more effort than needed on a video I was severely underpaid for but it was a learning experience. I wasn't too bothered as I'd never done a wedding before and since then I've gotten better at video, better with dealing with clients, and better at asserting my worth. Things were a lot simpler back then. I'm not upset with where I am now; saddened with certain things, yes, but overall I like to try and imagine I'm in a better place.

Strobist details: Neewer NW-581 to the left (planted several feet below the bridge and extended fairly high) into a 36" umbrella, triggered by the Phottix Ares.
I always look forward to hearing the Dapper Dans when I'm at the park. At times they sound so good, people actually think they are lip syncing. In fact, there were more than a few folks on a Disney Discussion board recently who swore up and down that they were lip syncing to a track. As I explained to them, this can EASILY be disproved if you spend any time at all watching them and you actually use your powers of observation. The bicycle built for four is always a nice touch. :)

The Markel Building is just outside the city limits of Richmond, Virginia in Henrico County. A 2005 plaque erected by the county reads:
"The Markel Corporation commissioned architect Haig Jamgochian, a Richmond native, to design their headquarters in 1962. The aluminum clad conical structure was inspired by a baked potato wrapped in foil served to Jamgochian while attending an American Institute of Architect's dinner. Each floor consists of a single piece of 555-foot aluminum. They are the longest unbroken pieces of aluminum ever used as siding material. Jamgochian personally sledge-hammered crinkles into the 3rd floor siding before contractors finished the job on the other two floors in 1965. The building is a unique architectural example of its era."
The aluminum came from another Richmond-based company, Reynolds Metals, best known to the ordinary consumer for Reynolds aluminum foil. The aluminum exterior has seen a lot of wear over the years and has been patched with metal and duct tape. This futuristic and visionary structure has been called the “Jiffy-Pop Building”. Jamgochian, despite having only two designed structures built, has achieved international renown with many of his unique architectural ideas. Richmond was not interested; but buildings based on his ideas have been erected in Brazil, South Africa, Japan and Chicago! The second built structure was the Moon House, built for Richmond used-car salesman called Mad Man Dapper Dan. It was demolished in 2005.
