Man with a fanny in Oxford, Mississippi

While lounging on a bench, lazily observing the occasional passerby, I thought about my most recent photographic failure: while walking down Beale St in Memphis, a man in a hurry cut in front of me-- a man with a fanny, that is. I had absentmindedly left my camera in the car and had no means to capture this magical, mystical moment. It's an image to treasure-- a man with a fanny pack-- especially when the man sports the item in question to its exact fashionable purpose-- above the fanny, packing the items he just couldn't fit in his oversized cargo short pockets. While reminiscing this fond yet tearful memory, it just so happened that a man with a fanny walked by. I was caught off guard; however, I recovered quickly. I stuffed my book into my over-the-shoulder purse and pulled out my camera while I walked/jogged in order to catch up with the man. I took the first photo before crossing the street-- I probably looked like a fool, chasing this ordinary man with my digital camera. I knew that this photo was not good enough and I continued to follow the man; he was entering a building, and I didn't plan on going that far-- that'd be a little too extreme, right? So I quickly snapped another shot before he disappeared forever. Enjoy this unique marvel.

How to bombard someone with an Eiffel Tower in 5 steps...

1. Act like you're all BFFs and sandwich the victim.

2. Quickly follow this by interlocking hands with your arms wrapped around the prey. As the image shows, he is caught quite off guard.

3. Give him a little preview of what the near future holds.

4. He's probably confused at this point, so give poor guy some guidance. He will comply, if treated with patience and kindness, but most importantly reassurance that this won't be embarrassing.

5. Great success! And everyone's happy!

Summer Update.

Hello friends! Thank you for your support thus far, even though my blog still fails to live up to its title. I have become fascinated with taking photos of people I don't know and objects that I'm unfamiliar with and giving the images various titles. So it is what it is-- and that's how it's going to be.

I have finally left Dayton, Ohio and have traveled to a new place for a few days. As I sit in the University of Mississippi library typing this, I'm surrounded by high school seniors becoming oriented with their new home and students studying for their summer school classes. Yesterday and today, I've walked around the campus pretending to be a current student and my faulty front has yet to be called out.

Next week I leave to go on a cruise-- being on 3 cruises previous to this one-- I know the people aboard will provide me with many a great opportunity for hilarious photos.

Although these adventures may not sound the most exciting, they are-- because an unknown environment inevitably provides me with something to marvel about.
Be prepared for some new postings in the near future.
I hope that summer's going well-- if you have photos, send them to me!
