So... several of you are asking what's up with my wacky new pictures with shades that let's say... don't "fit my personality."  The truth is a friend of mine is a bit of a sunglasses aficianado (understatement). 

We both have a client downtown and see other almost every day.  His name is Ben (also known as Jim) and carries at least one pair of shades on him and even has a pair with him when it rains.  

It's become a fun habit to take photos with Ben's shades on someone who obviously can't pull it off... but the fun must continue!
