Custom Framing Ahead
Q: There is way too much going on in this photo. Why can't I see any details like what's going on with that guy? Is he trying to kill himself with a big yellow bag?

A: So we probably could have zoomed in and focused on the guy with the poncho oddly wrapped over his head, but then we would have missed the graffiti octopus staring at him (or as Salata Mike pointed out, the hot blonde walking away) and if we didn't zoom out further we would have missed the interesting Obama endorsement and the bystanders juxtaposing with a bit of normalcy and taking in the strange scene with us, at that point we might as well have gone all the way out and have some nice found text in the picture that can be used for a title effect, as the scene itself is difficult to describe on its own...this is how we arrived at this mess of a photo that probably overloaded your system and held your attention for a split second, I know... you aren't reading this, I know...stop writing. Okay.

Q: Why do you always refer to yourself as we? Do you have multiple voices guiding you?

A: Not sure, but it's always good to have someone else to blame when things end up sucking...like now for instance ;)

I feel just like David duChemin sharing with you my vision and all.

Look at the eyes on the truck checking out the hot blonde walking away.
