As I mentioned in an earlier post, my friend Tony Corso came to visit from his home in Paris, Texas. Tony and I have known each other since high school and were college roommates for a time. While Tony was here I had an appointment at the hospital to see an orthopedic surgeon. Tony fell asleep while waiting for me. I could not resist snapping this shot of him snoozing in the waiting room. 
It reminded me of a story.
When we were in college, Tony and I went to see a movie near our apartment in Scottsdale, Arizona. I think it was the Onion Field. At the time I think Tony was working various shifts at the Reynolds Aluminum factory and was missing out on some sleep. He fell dead asleep towards the end of the movie.
I stayed with him while the credits rolled and then decided to get up and leave him alone to snooze. I went into the lobby and peeked through the window to see what would happen. Pretty soon Tony was all alone in the theater. I kept watching and after a few minutes I saw Tony bolt upright with total panic. I completely lost it and was laughing uncontrollably. I had to go outside and Tony finally joined me. Suffice it to say he has a pretty good sense of humor and did not wail on me much.
When I walked out of my appointment and saw him sleeping there on that little sofa, I had this incredible temptation to just walk on by and go down the hall. But I am kinder in my old age and I woke him up from his slumber. Here are a few more pics from his visit.
I have not had a chance to write much about this but I am shooting film again. I picked up a Voigtlander Bessa R2a rangefinder camera with a 40mm lens. These shots are from the first rolls of Tri-x film I have processed in 20 years. I spent much of my early career shooting, processing and printing this film. It was all I shot and I am really enjoying the experience again.
The Bessa is a great camera and the lens is fast (1.4) and performs well. The pic below was taken at the local pub wide open most likely around 1/8 or 1/15 of a second. The second shot was taken up on our roof deck. Tony was shooting the skyline and I snapped a shot while he was reviewing the shot on his digital camera.
