We just got a new Canon D60 at school. I'm not supposed to use it because I'm not in the special digital photography class, but no way am I wasting 14 weeks on something I learned by reading a manual in an hour. So I uh "borrowed" it.

And I love it. I don't just love it, I WANT ONE. It was so easy. I can use it with strobe. I can use it like a real camera. My only complaint is the LCD display makes it hard to tell if my exposure's off depending on which way I tilt the thing, but that's what Photoshop is for, right? It was also great being able to go directly to compositing without having to retouch out all the dust and scratches and little hairs I invariably pick up from scanning film. Did I mention I love this camera?

Anyway. I had another photo-illustration assignment - "Why Businesses Fail". Lots of sinking ship/drowning businessman images for that one. I figured why not point out the fact that all these CEOs have just been going for the proverbial carrot - the perks, artificially inflated stock, creative accounting - without looking at the overall health of the company (or the law).

So, here he is. A businessman with blinders on. Shot digitally - five different images composited together so I didn't actually have to be handy and make person-sized horse blinders. Digital is a boon for people like me who aren't any good at actually making things. Also a boon for people like me whose student loan money is running out - I didn't have to pay for any film.
