Mr. Pictures: Mr. Bone

About Mr. Pictures

Years ago, before there were cameras in cell phones - before there were cell phones - I somehow came to the decision that I needed a hobby so my wife gave me a camera as a Christmas present. I really had no idea what to do with it.

Then one day we were driving somewhere and she saw a sign for a business called, "Mr. Post Hole," and she said, "I guess when Mr. Lumber and Mr. Plumber and Mr. Landscaper need a fourth for Bridge they call Mr. Post Hole."

And as often as these silly things do, it made me laugh.And it also got me noticing how many businesses are named "Mr.... something." And for some reason I liked that, it seemed old fashioned and a little silly but also kind of formal. And I remembered that old TV commercial for Mister Big candy bars, "When you're this big, they call you mister." So, he doesn't just dig post holes, he's, "Mr. Post Hole." (I can only imagine Mr. Auger was taken)

And my hobby was born.

And now, because I had to
buy a printer for my kids' homework and every printer seems to have a scanner
built-in, I thought why not put my Mr. Photos on a blog?
