I don't know if it's the white and gray in the "unkempt" part of the look, or the fact that it's still fairly short and as such much less "unkempt", if you know what I mean, but I actually do think it produces an aura of teacher's authority and respect, yet with a good strain of kindness in there. Maybe it's just me, but hey, it's the impression I get and I'll stand by it. :)

Eric took this great pic of me and Betty last night.  I loved it so much, I made it my Facebook profile pic!

When you shoot work with a little more light or a tripod.

Wow! What a great suggestion, Lars!

(Great shot Tom. I showed it to my wife today from you Facebook photos,
and we're thinking of coming and dognapping one or both of them.

She loved your photo of Bud, too. He had a great smile.)

Don't go much for the candid, "in the moment" stuff, do you Lars?  Unfortunately, life doesn't always provide the amount of time necessary to take a professional photo with your husband's cell phone. 

Sheesh!  Throw some salt in the ice cream, why don't you?

We're happy to rent them for parties and bar-mitvahs!

I miss my Bud-Bud.  Over a year later and I still get choked up about him.  Hardest day of my life when I buried that cat.  (Mostly because he was a 19-pounder and the hole just was never big enough! -- I kid!  I kid!)

Hey guys -- just saw HAMLET 2!  Thought it was excellent -- VERY funny.  Totally not what I was expecting to see.  Run, don't walk to your nearest theatre.

She brilliantly plays herself -- and takes some great shots, too.  (None of the students in the film have ever heard of her.)  And the joke she gets at the climax of the film is wonderful! 

I was absolutely surprised at how many times I laughed out loud -- and I saw this pic in an "art house" with an older audience than I was expecting.  I was one of the youngest there.  I really thought it was going to be a teen gross-out comedy, but was amazed at how sophisticated the humor was.  It had its gross moments, but really "got it" about the writing process.

Wouldn't that be Fortinbras (at least in subtitle), I mean who else is left living at the end of "part 1"?

Without giving too much away, let's just say the main dramatic device (in the play within the play) is a time machine!
