My friend Ryan (who happens to be a graphic designer) saw this photo of Mike on yesterday's blog entry and couldn't resist…. I swear to you I've never heard Mike laugh that hard for that long… EVER!
❓
On a side note… At Asia and Tony's wedding I took the photo you see below of the skyline. I purposely took it out of focus like this and think it's WAY cool! As a matter of fact, I want to print a canvas of it for my living room 😀 Mike saw me working on it when processing their full gallery and said, "YOU'RE NOT GIVING THAT TO THEM… AAAAARE YOU?!??"
"HELL YES, and I plan on putting it in their blog entry!"
He THEN said, "I think that's a bad idea… it looks like a mistake!" So, he got me all paranoid about posting it so instead I posted the sharp one you saw yesterday. HOWEVER, I'm posting it anyway! SO BOOOYAH MIKEY!!!!!
❗
I think that would be fantastic on canvas!
Yay! I’m glad you posted it. I think it’s ultra-cool!!! Almost like a watercolor…
You should market these signature ninja outfits and see how many people would buy them in Vegas next year….hahaha…
Your skills look strong young Grasshopper…
Me love Bookeh 🙂
out of focus city shots make baby jesus cry……in a “OMG thats F’ing beautiful” way.
funny story,
one time in college i did some city shots on film…..all out of focus.
when i developed them in the darkroom my prof. said, “those are not in focus”…….and i said, “i know… isn’t it stellar.”
he replied with, “yeh, i do kinda like it.”
the end.
😀
That is hilarious! Nice job Ryan!
Hahahah. Love the story about that last shot.
Ok, the picture of Mike is effing hilarious and then you read Adam’s baby jesus comment and the luagh factory really begins!
I love skyling pics taken at night with sparkly lights all around…something about it is so busy, yet so serene. I likey your out of focus pic!
I gave a full on BOBBI laugh here in KC. That is AMAZING! LOVE IT.
P.S. Love the skyline picture….BADASS!!
Wow, I am SO glad I’m not the only one having discussions like this with their significant other. “You’re not giving them THAT” is such an often used phrase in our house.
And Ninja Mike = AWESOME! Where’s Pirate Bobbi?
First of all, the ninja shot is hilarious! Secondly, I love the skyline shot and TOTALLY understand that argument because it happens here, too! Or I’ll describe what I want a couple to do and I’ll get “the look” from Nic. It really makes you second guess yourself when your spouse says “???!!!” but if you love it, you gotta do it! 🙂
the ninja shot is FAB! go Ryan. 🙂
And I go through the same thing with Brett and my “artsy” shots all the time. We have VERY different artistic opinions, but that is part of the beauty and openness of ART. Can’t tell you how many times I hear, “You are not going to give them that are you??”
Love Ninja Mike! Your friend did an awesome job on that…too cool! and for what it’s worth…I like the out of focus skyline pic :o)
love it!! The out of focus city is something that you dont always see on someones wall…lol
Mike! Save the cheerleader, save the world!
art is all about what makes YOU tick…I happen to like it too and as a canvas it would really become a piece of art.
Ninja Mike is H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S.!!! Love the Mike spotlight in the sky too, and the branded ninja outfit, and the sword is too funny!
Oh yes, the bokeh cityscape is a must print! It’s beautiful!!!
I like it that you thought the city pic was too classy for the icons in the watermark, haha. Cue subtly elegant wordmark rocking a solo. Who did this branding? It is so versatile.
Ninja Mikey is freaking hilarous. And btw, I LOVED that skyline pic you posted yesterday. I almost asked you if I could buy a copy of it. The out of focus skyline is just as cool – way to ignore your husband’s objections.
Mike — I need a copy of the Ninja Mike pic. It’s awesome!! Reminds me of you and your brothers from Halloweens past.
maybe its the phallic nature of the photo that you’re drawn to 😉
xoxo
HAHAHAHA! That’s amazing! And I purposely take skyline pictures out of focus too. I think they look cooler that way. 🙂
I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Very artistic and I would absolutely blow it up and hang it in my house!!!!
that is an effing riot.
and i would hang that in my house. i looove blurry lights!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the city pic. I think it’s sometimes hard for photographers (pro or amateur) to go against the grain, and let the fuzz in. I love to walk down the street at night with my camera on my hip, taking slow-shutter pics of traffic moving by. It’s fascinating to me what comes out in the end…and the picture that it creates.
BTW, I, too, would totally purchase a canvas picture of the city skyline!!
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. …… im with mike on this one.
maybe a smidge of focus or an overlay of both?! that would be interesting to see.
<constructive criticism lover
Mark, take your 21 dresses and shove ’em up your butt! 🙂
MUCH LOVE!
❗
pss.
i have the mind of a high-schooler, and the big building looks like a giant glowing phallus. its like the cover of “the Little Mermaid” you ever looked at that?! craziness. haha!
PSSS. i still love you, and appreciate your work, but I’m not jumpin on the brown nose bandwagon with the rest of this crew, and im drunk.
DO MORE WITH IT! I want to see more experimenting.
feel free to delete this if you wish HAHA!
didnt mean to sound like a jerk.
i see more than an out of focus photo in there.

MARK! MY FIRST EVER DRUNK BLOG COMMENT!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
ANNNNND… you’re right, it DOES look like Little Mermaid 🙂 You win 😀
I’ll try harder… 🙂
~ ❗

Goodnight Mark 🙂 sleep well my friend.

Hey Bobbi,
Ninja Mikey is too funny. You need to send Ryan the photos of Ninja Mike and Jeffy in the backyard sword battle.
I too love the out of focus city lights shot. I can see it in your living room.
Love you both,
Momba
Awesome photos!
