From the local newspaper:

"A father and son were arrested Friday in an incident where the 64-year-old dad allegedly fired a shotgun several times out the window of a pickup he was driving at a couple fleeing them in a car."

If I work at it, that makes sense. But...good grief, reading a sentence in the newspaper just shouldn't BE that hard.

I'm putting an Amazon order together, and just out of curiosity, I checked out if they had any film deals. Getting 3 rolls of Kodak Gold 200 for $6.25. I like Gold well enough, though if I could afford it, I'd shoot Portra all day long.

When I was taking the Art Fundamentals class in 2010, our semester-long project was to draw/paint a single object 101 times (later reduced to 96), all of them on 4" x 4" Bristol board. Some specific works were required (complimentary, analogous , monochrome, chromatic black, warm colors, cool colors, collage, etc) but was, for the most part, pretty open. I decided on one of two small ceramic figurines I had glazed (painted) as my subject. The mate to my subject is below. (to be continued)

Granted, with the light that evening, it was impossible to take a bad picture. But dear lord, the Portra!

Earlier I saw that NPR reported a "Doctor who contracted Ebola ..." and my first thought is OMG ... Not Doctor Who.

So why do you have an S and my Aunt a Z?

Gracias!

Z's are cool. especially if you punctuate the sucker by slashing across the middle with a swashbuckling cross-line.

So why do you have an S and my Aunt a Z?

The S is the Portuguese spelling and the Z is the Spanish spelling. You'll see the same difference in a lot of names, like Fernandes/Fernandez or Gomes/Gomez.
