We had fun on April Fool's. No coffee?! That's a cruel joke
And special thanks to SleepyNeko for using the CC license! We used her photo and love it! Thanks SleepyNeko!
Why the Fool? Because this was the very last shot I took with my demo Carl Zeiss 2/50 - and I was a fool for trying, now that I HAVE to buy it. ;) But this is a pure SOOC - no crop, no color adjustment, no nada! I took this for my Lenscrack group ( www.flickr.com/groups/lenscrack/ ) - in which this month's assignment is SOOC. Nikon D700 + Carl Zeiss 50mm The journey is the reward. Please, no group invitations or badges.

The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, is an iron sulfide with the formula FeS2. This mineral's metallic luster and pale-to-normal, brass-yellow hue have earned it the nickname fool's gold due to its resemblance to gold. Pyrite is the most common of the sulfide minerals. The name pyrite is derived from the Greek πυρίτης (puritēs), “of fire” or "in fire”, from πύρ (pur), “fire”. This name is likely due to the sparks that result when pyrite is struck against steel or flint. This property made pyrite popular for use in early firearms such as the wheellock.

IT WAS A FUN APRIL 1ST at the SAINT STUPID DAY'S PARADE in SAN FRANCISCO. There is no other event in the world where folks gather to HAVE FUN and poke fun at the embedded horrid capitalist exploitation of the world.
Everyone came in costume...ADDA came as a REPUBLICAN BURNING IN HELL (which we all know in our deepest of hearts is where all REPUBLICANS and RIGHT WING A-0's will end up) ! i shouted MERRY CHRISTMAS to all the business people in the Financial District who stopped and stared in utter confusion.
Everyone gathered at the EMBARCADERO then proceeded to the WORKERS STATUE. There in honor of CLOWNS WITHOUT BOARDERS they put a 'red clown nose' on one of the statues! ADDA DADA got the crowd cheering 'HERO' for the guy who put the nose on the statue.
then to the PACIFIC STOCK EXCHANGE for the wonderful spoof...SOCK EXCHANGE...everyone exchanged socks & then tossed them in the air! One of ADDA DADA's Christmas SANTAs socks were found and declared a SAINT STUPID HOLY RELIC! (you so know i loved that)
Onward we went to the BANKER's HEART...the big, black marble rock in front of BANK OF AMERICA...where everyone tossed their loose pennies at the banker's black greedy heart! (This is just like the muslims in Mecca who toss rocks at the black stone which represents the devil..)
There was tons of good fun, great signs, good vibes, political statements, and incredible costumes
Good luck that the videos go on JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE tonight

I had Woodland cut me a logo, since I'm pretty sure I could never hand-cut something like this as well as their CNC machines. Turned out pretty nice, IMO. Set me back $46, but still. This will be going on the backdrop, which is rusting nicely now.

14 - Fools
This was meant to be taken for the 1st of April but I've lagged behind a bit. I thought about setting up a prank and trying to photograph it in process but that seemed like an awful lot of effort.
Historically the word fool was used to imply jesters or clowns so I've used the Joker card to demonstrate it. I recruited a couple of very willing individuals to hold the cards to make it a more interesting image. The participants were not recruited because I think they are fools...honest!
Title change is thanks to some good natured goading and inspiration from Kiki and Kim .... in their comments, they were referring to the former title: " . "
heheh
