He shoots! He doesn’t score!

Blog Guy, explain something to me. I shot game two of the NBA Finals last night, and I had all the great action shots - Kobe Bryant, Courtney Lee, Pau Gasol - but my editor wouldn’t use any of them.

What did I do wrong?

You just never listen, do you? How many shots did you get of Leo?

Leo?

Leonardo DiCaprio! That’s the guy you want to shoot at the Lakers games! Look at these classic basketball shots in this combo, all taken at different games! Do I have to tell you everything?

I’m sorry, I just forgot. It’s here in my notes from your blog. IF YOU’RE NOT SHOOTING LEO, YOU’RE NOT SHOOTING BASKETBALL.

Right. And what did I say is the ONLY shot better than Leo?

Uh, here it is. Jack Nicholson’s exposed gut.

Exactly. Now go study those notes, and don’t bring me any more Kobe Bryant!

Well, I’ve never had reason to think about it before but now I know that I did not want to know whether he’s an innie or an outie.

Robert, I do wonder if the idea in mentoring aspiring photographers is to get them to shoot gruesome and yucky things, such as Jack’s belly! If so, then I’d beg you’d refer them to your disreputable professions posts, so they can get an idea of what their life will be like.

My dad always told me to keep it in my pants, but until this very moment I never really understood…

Yeah, ladies, I know what you’re thinking. “If Leonardo was making eyes at me that way, I’d throw up my arms in surrender too.” Problem is, ladies, that’s Jack frickin’ Nicholson you’re lookin’ at right there! I am appalled.

How does DiCaprio breathe with that little nose.
