that nurse seems unprepared
Side-show signage…somehow I just don’t think this little, weird scene is going to end well. That nurse seems unprepared for feeding two babies with only that one bottle, plus her uniform seems pretty tight for a job that involves bending over and picking up things (like, you know, babies); there’s a wardrobe malfunction in her future.

While I sat on a bench to people-watch (and grab some photos) the two men next to me were discussing whether or not to get two of the last eighteen tickets to the night’s drag show. I believe they eventually opted out because of the price, but really the point here is that the show was nearly sold out.
It was just one year ago that the City Council and the Mayor involved themselves in a kerfuffle regarding approval of arts funding for things they personally found distasteful. (Yes. They were pissy about a drag show.) The arts community pushed back and here we are.
If you ask me, which of course you did not, the City Council and Mayor would be much better served by figuring out any number of REAL problems we’ve got around here. But sure: drag shows are the main thing that needed taking care of.
But I digress. Here’s a picture.

I went to the museum the other day to look at the motorcycle exhibit.
Actually, that’s not correct. I went to the museum to photograph the motorcycle exhibit. My favorite thing was mirrors.
Also: the name of the exhibit mentioned “two-stroke street bikes” and I still do not know what that even means.

scene/not seen 1
One thing about my mind is that it comes up with projects at a steady pace. And rarely those ideas turn into Things That I Have Done but that does not slow it down, even a little bit.
The idea for this project came to me in 2004 or 2005, before I even thought of myself as a “real” photographer. Or any other kind of photographer, as far as that goes. When the idea arrived, it came with a title, which was a nice thing for it to have done. I dabbled with it back then, but ran into some problems. I lacked Photoshop, for one thing, and the cheap alternative was unwieldy. I got bored trying to figure it out and gave up.
Or so I thought.
My brain had other ideas, as it does, and anyway, here I go again with this thing that wants to be called “scene/not seen”. We’ll see where it goes this time…
