I guess I’m just a sensitive guy. Maybe too sensitive. I can smell a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie from two miles if the wind is in my favor. Hence I prefer my wife leave the county if she is going to fart. But I digress. It’s not just smells that trigger my senses. Sounds, […]

Whoa, heavy title much? Yeah, that’s right. Contrast, where would we be without it? Our brains, as massive and sexy as they are, can’t tell us if something is cold or hot, bright or dark, even funny or sad without contrast.

(BTW this was shot with […]

I love a challenge.
