DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!!! I ate it!!!

DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!!!   I ate it!!!

So its done.  Three years.  Bone dried.

Finished.

I ate it.  Three year old.  A three year old McDonald’s Chicken McNugget.

Tasted like wood yet it tasted like nothing.

Really…it was fibrous, odd texture, and tasted like I was eating a piece of…well…wood.  Really.

McWood?

Oddly the next morning, I have remorse.  Charleston Heston remorse.  Not for eating it.  But the fact that the story is over.

And to no real conclusion.  I mean, as some friends pointed out, I’ve put worse down the pipe.  Scorpion, worms, dog, canned ravioli, etc…I mean what was the big deal.  I’ve eaten meals from dubious origins.  Who hasn’t?  Hell, ever had one plate lunch?  Ever eaten spam?  Ho…!

Really…its been had.

Whats to say about McDonald’s and food that’s edible three years down the road?  Well, maybe we should watch what we eat.  Better yet, when we eat it.

 So here’s the original post.

you know what?  I’m going to McDonald’s this morning.  Nothing like grease and fat to start the day right.  I think I’m gonna bring home a new blog piece.

 

Shoots….is that a pimple?  What am I a teen again?

 

 

36 Hours in Honolulu

36 Hours in Honolulu

…0r as I’ve said before, Honoruru

After several weeks of anticipation, the New York Times (find it here) published my travel piece, written by Jocyln Fujii, on 36 Hours in Honolulu.  The piece loads of locations for me to cover but I got to choose the more scenic and most exciting places to photograph.

Of course Masaharu Morimoto, (yes, the Iron Chef…you might remember him from my posting here) made for the most exciting images as his relationship with me allows him to tako…uh…i mean octopus…uh…ham it up (yeah, that’s it) for the camera.  Its always great to photograph someone when they do all the work for you.

I shot all over the East Oahu and Waikiki and had a darn fun time doing it.  As I’ve been told, its not work when you love what you do.

I was sad some of my hotel work from the Edition Waikiki wasn’t used but alas, you can’t publish it all.

The three floaters just lined up perfectly for this shot. I mean who wouldn’t want to swim around in a pool in Honolulu?  Or at least see it on print…

More scams…its a can of woims.

Did I open a can of woims when I replied to Mack Cathy?  Should I write back and tell the non English speaker Shane Mcgretor (which is not a real last name!–he probably liked Star Wars hence Ewan McGregor) that I am working with ol’Macky?

Where’s a boid when you really need one?!?!
