Officially I am on holiday - a staycation. So I have some extra time to catch up on my reading.
There is a little known branch of poetry for librarians called Book Spine Poetry.
So here's mine!
The Burnt Country
Cold Fear
The Good Turn
American Dirt
The Other End of the Line!
Interesting to note the authors are Australian, Danish, Irish, USA, Italian (Sicilian) and mainly thrillers/detective fiction. www.scholastic.com/teachers/blog-posts/alycia-zimmerman/s...
Enjoy.

I did some head shots for actor Christian Krushel. I happened to have a toy pistol on loan from a friend and Christian indulged me and played the Film Noir detective for me. I put a speedlight outside on the balcony and pointed it up at the venetian blind covered patio door. I sprayed water onto the glass to make it look like it was a rainy night, and he was spying on someone on the street below.
Here is another vignette based on the Arkham Video Games.
This build features the detective mode, one of the key features in the Arkham Games. In the games, some attributes are marked in orange which means you can do something with it, like the ventage points on top of the build, the ventilation areas that are on the ground or the weak wall which you can destroy using explosive gel. Armed henchmen are also marked in orange.
I only wish I had an orange colored Brickarm, because weapons are also marked orange in the game.
Hope you recognize this from the game, and I hope you like it ;)
Inspired by the great Elvis Costello track of the same Name..
"Nice girls not one with a defect,
cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct.
Red dogs under illegal legs.
She looks so good that he gets down and begs.
[Chorus:]
She is watching the detectives.
"ooh, he's so cute!"
She is watching the detectives
when they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.
They beat him up until the teardrops start,
but he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart.
Long shot of that jumping sign,
Visible shivers running down my spine.
Cut the baby taking off her clothes.
Close-up of the sign that says,"We never close"
You snatch a tune, you a match a cigarette,
She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet.
I don't know how much more of this I can take.
She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake.
[Chorus]
You think you're alone until you realize you're in it.
Now fear is here to stay. Love is here for a visit.
They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit.
Someone's scratching at the window. I wonder who is it?
The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents
who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance.
Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay,
it only took my little fingers to blow you away.
Just like watching the detectives.
Don't get cute!"
It's just like watching the detectives.
I get so angry when the teardrops start,
but he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart.
Watching the detectives.
It's just like watching the detectives."

Triggered with YN RF-602s
strobist: SB-80DX at 1/2, behind blinds. Triggered by on-camera flash set to 1/32, so as not to add any fill. See setup shot
Shot for Strobist 102 4.2 assignment. I tried the horizontal-slit snoot (or gobo? snoobo?) described in the blog to get harder edges but it restricted the light a bit too much.
Rise and Aoto found some mysterious candies outside and Aoto is keen to get to the bottom of this mystery. (Rise is babysitting.)

I forgot that I got 15 issues of these last week so I didn't show them off! This run has been really cool. I love that we have an all Bat-family team, but I think the greatest part of this series is Clayface and how he's trying to become a good guy, which I think it's pretty cool. Make sure to check it out if you can!
I bet you're wondering why I'm only showing off my DC collections, and that's just because I have more of them, not because I like them significantly more that Marvel (I only like them a tiiiiny bit) but since most DC comics get new issues twice a month instead of once a month, I don't have enough issues in a Marvel series to really call it a "collection." Maybe I'll show off all my Ant-Man comics now that I got a lot more for Christmas...

A seminal song by one of my favourite musicians, Elvis
Costello, who I have been fortunate enough to see 6 times over the decades.
Watching the Detectives was one of the highlights of his debut album My Aim is True from 1977. Initially promoted as a punk artist, Costello was an accomplished musician who has recorded in multiple genres from punk, new wave, blues, classical, rock and jazz.
Nice girls, not one with a defect
Cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct
Red dogs under illegal legs
She looks so good that he gets down and begs
She is watching the detectives
"Ooh, it's so cute"
She's watching the detectives
When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
They beat him up until the teardrops start
But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart
Long shot of that jumping sign
Invisible shivers running down my spine
Cut to baby taking off her clothes

She is watching the detectives
"Oh, he's so cute"
She is watching the detectives
Oh, and they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
They beat him up until the teardrops start
But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart
You think you're alone until you realize you're in it
Now baby's here to stay, love is here for a visit
They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit

Just like watching the detectives
I get so angry when the teardrops start

Watching the detectives
It's just like watching the detectives
Watching the detectives

We're watching the detectives
They're watching the detectives
Watching the detectives
