Even More Jesus

 
     Last weekend Jim and I went to Octoberfest at Das Haus.  I don't like crowds so I rarely attend festivals but this one was fun; full of people who were full of beer and good cheer.  There was one group in particular that seemed to be having a really great time.  They were dancing and prancing and singing along with the band.  It was impossible to watch their antics without smiling.  I was also intrigued by this young man's tee shirt.  Here in Alabama it's not unusual to see tee shirts with religious slogans or imagery but it IS unusual to see the wearers of those shirts drinking and dancing.  So I had to ask him about it.  Turns out, Even More Jesus is the name of a dark Danish beer.  Obviously, this guy is a true believer.

Lunch with Carl


     
     This is my friend, Carl Schinasi.  I consider him to be my mentor.  He's the one who inspired me to carry a camera with me at all times.  That's what he does and he captures some remarkable shots.  
     Jim and I met Carl yesterday at Rogue Tavern.  Over lunch, Carl asked me when I'm planning to restart my photo blog.  I hadn't actually planned to restart it but with my mentor's encouragement I've decided try it for a while and see how it feels.  Thanks, Carl.
