Photojournalism... oh, and my cock.


We rode over to Fair Park this morning for lack of a better method of time passage. At the Hall of State [pictured above], the Dallas Historical Society is showing an exhibit of local photographer Andy Hanson [pictured below].

I can't find anything about Hanson online, which I think is strange, so here's a rundown of the show. I gather that he was a photojournalist for the Dallas Times Herald from the mid 50's on. Everything that ever happened in Dallas in the last fifty years has an accompanying Hanson photo to prove that it took place. His work is beautiful, real and even poignant at times. I found his photo of Kennedy's operating room at Park Memorial taken the day after the shooting especially haunting.

Hanson reminds me that there was a time in this country when more than one company owned all the news outlets, and you actually had to be a professional to be a professional photographer. I wish there was an example photo to post so you could see how wonderful it is, but I couldn't find one anywhere. The show's only on through June, 11th, so I suggest getting the fuck over there a-sap.

Also, I was wearing a pair of corduroy pants today that I hadn't worn in about a month. They used to be real ball huggers, but since I've lost weight they are considerably more loose. If you know me [and you do] you know that I generally choose not to wear underwear. The fabric was rubbing against my dong and really starting to become uncomfortable. In the end I was forced to wrap my cock and balls with toilet paper to prevent chafing. From now on I'll wear boxers with cords, and I would suggest you do the same.
