More quick edits:

This image describes graphically how I felt when Brad finally parked the Bug and I could escape the potholes:

This one PROVES Brad doesn't do candids; here's one of his models applying makeup before the shoot:

Another depiction of differing approaches to things: Brad sees a submarine, *I* see an anachronism (kinda like a Bug in the 21st century):

And this is Brad himself, in his stained and rumpled glory:

It ain't just the potholes, it's the conjunction of primitive, buggy suspension, potholes, and shingles that done me in. Driving with Brad is DANGEROUS. He steers with his knees and takes pictures. And he---will--not---be---dissuaded! He has no fear, no common sense, no...something...

Oh, yeah, NO BEARD... That's what it is... He has no beard, bummer bummer.

At least my clippers didn't go on strike.

The saga continues: where Brad does babes, I do mature figures:

And here's some people watching Brad do babes:

They didn't know what to think, but at least they were safe up there.

Well, the real shame here is that your "mature figure" (haha - love your play on words there) was depressed because you couldn't face her, or you were too chicken to try and sneak in a candid. I managed though:

(she was kinda' flaky huh)

Yeah, if you like getting bedsores from a buggy seat and don't mind being stared at wherever you go as this weird individual brazenly pulls off a string of drive-by shootings as we career through the potholes of San Diego's downtown...

He DID find good Mexican food though :-)

OMG this thread is just cracking me up!! It is dueling photos!! Does it count that Bear took me driving (very fast) on dirt roads through the marsh .. explaining the whole time .. why he was driving fast .. because he said "it makes the drive smoother" ..It's a Jeep thing .. I know .. hubby has one! Glad to see/hear you both had a great time!

I think every DPC'er should make an attempt to spend some time with Bear. And from the sounds of it, with Brad, too. Definitely worth the effort! :-)

Both at the same time would be ideal, actually. Set up some GTG's, charge a fee, and fly me 'n Brad to the locale on the proceeds. We'll keep y'all in stitches.

I thought of that just after I posted - the two of you together is probably worthy of broadcast television. Get Brother Horse in on the deal....

Thanks Bear!! The name suites me much better than the other one! I agree with Deb too! Bear is the ultimate host and the two times I've met up with him I have had a great time! Next time I think I'll have him cook dinner so we can do some evening photography ;) (watch out .. it might be soon .. but under sad circumstances unfortunately)

Ahhh yes, San Diego! Many pleasant hours have I spent in that wonderful town. My first visit was in 1960 when I was a trainee at the Naval Training Center (boot camp). I soon discovered Balboa Park and Coronado Island, then Point Loma and the historic lighthouse. One of my all time favorite cities! Just a short drive North is Scripps Institute in the town of La Jolla, where fascinating creatures meander through numerous tide pools. Coronado Island is the home of a Naval Air Station as well a most picturesque and antiquated Hotel. Definately a "must do" on your life's itinerary!

A little less so if you grew up there :-) I left San Diego for Cape Cod when I retired, and I am very glad to have done so. Now if I could just get Brad to move here...

We could be a TOURIST ATTRACTION. "Dueling Photographers! Shows at 11 and 3."
