My journey through this part of life with my camera.
The business end of a sea turtle.
I saw this in someone’s window on the way back from the store.
Above: The partial set from Citizen Kane consists of a foreground doorway and the butler (Paul Stewart), while Kane (Orson Welles) stands on a distant soundstage floor.
Below: The final, deep-focus image was completed with a matte painting by Chesley Bonestell. The live-action elements of the doorway in the foreground and Kane in the background were optically composited with a painted hallway, columns, and floor. The distant reflection of Kane on the floor was painted as well.

So much work. How it used to be done. :)
“For security purposes”
“I’m sorry, sir, but for security purposes, I’m going to have to ask for the following information, otherwise we can’t proceed…”
“Ok?”
“Just confirm your name and the first line of your address, please…” = Acceptable.
“…and the postal code…” = The full address; a little less acceptable, if only because you tried to trick it out of me.
“…and now just your social security number and date of birth, thank you.” = Are you fucking serious? To buy a pair of SHOES?!
- Big Brother, our friendly oppressor.

Really?
