I have an early photo shoot in the city today, so talk amongst yourselves…here’s a topic:

Yesterday the Supreme Court struck down a 32 year DC law that banned handguns and required that rifles and shotguns kept in private homes be unloaded and either disassembled or protected by a trigger lock. Will other states with tough gun control laws have their laws declared unconstitutional?

    I am really enjoying these newspaper illustrations. The atypical ground adds great context. :)

    Thanks Sue.

    Thanks Brandon, I’ve been doing these doodles as a morning exercise, never really thinking that there was any practical purpose for them. But recently an AD contacted me wanting some portraits done in this quick spontaneous style over text… I did three portraits so far…They haven’t been printed yet, so I can’t share the details…stay tuned…and good luck in your Media and Culture Class.

    Best,
    Larry
