As an amateur photographer, I have often been asked to take photos of people at various events – maybe it was at a wedding, or for a school yearbook, or for the press. Well, some of the photos turned out very pleasing but some were not so flattering. The request has always been to destroy bad

PROOF OF WHO HE IS
This reminds me of the three lunatics in an insane asylum: The first lunatic said to the second, "Did you know that I'm Napoleon Bonaparte?"
Indignantly, the second lunatic replied, "I beg your pardon! It just so happens that I am Napoleon Bonaparte!"

There is nothing like a father’s blessing and love. One day I was at work when out of nowhere my father pulled up to the job in a brand new candy apple red truck. It was the bomb. He got out and said nothing. Of course I’m thinking to myself he bought a new truck. As he started to leave, he got
