All that time out in the sunshine that Monday, and this is the only other bit of photography I got done. And for such a silly Monty Python reference, too.
Sad, isn’t it?

The Lion Thing
This is, to the best of my recollection, only the second time I’ve had the script 100% completed before beginning the photography. Usually I have the punchline and a comedy beat or two ahead of it, then I make the rest up as I go along. This time, however, I had to work things out rather carefully since I was working on a meticulous bit of parody…
…a lot of work for a riff based on a minor scene in a movie I only watched because my kids were at that age at that time. But hey, it’s comedy gold, now!
Orange You Glad
This can’t possibly end badly, now can it?
Insert joke about snatching pebbles from Li’s grasp, here.

Once again I’m trying something just a bit different: Instead of setting up a situation, engaging ducks in a dialog, and leading to a punchline (or not)… I’m setting up the same situation four times and providing different outcomes.
You can call it laziness if you like. I call it “stretching myself as an artist.” (That’s the sort of pretentious stuff you’d expect from an artist, now isn’t it?)
(Oh, I’m going to get in trouble with the artsy types, aren’t I…?)
