I do feel rather bad about this, but I'm totally phoning it in tonight. It was just one of those trying weeks that leave you exhausted at the end. Not that I have a legitimate reason to be this tired, nothing really stressful happened or fell apart during the week. In many ways I've had a fairly pleasant week. I ended up going to the bi-weekly board game night my friend hosts on Tuesday and getting the chance to lose at one of my favorite games, which is generally a plus. I also got the chance to hang out with a different friend and play around in photoshop while watching the recent Beauty and the Beast. Tonight before I started working on the post I ended up finishing Johannes Cabal The Necromancer, one of my favorite books. So all in all a pretty decent week for me. But in the end I just feel drained physically and mentally tonight.
Tonight's stickers are intriguing ones that will definitely require a bit more research on a different night. The Show me your Mandance on the left has captivated my attention for a while now. It was one of the first ones I captured when I started the project back up again, on those early walks back from work. I did a quick search on google for the phrase and I found a band called ManDancing, which it could be. I do have my doubts about it though. Since the band is from New Jersey, I don't see this among their images on Facebook, and the high prevalence that I've seen this sticker around the city, it causes me to think that there is another mind behind this interesting little find. Although that determination is for another night, I'll just put my initial hypothesis out there for now. The other sticker is going to be a bit of a journey. The simplistic, line drawing of a man's head is not exactly the easiest thing to search for. "Man head sticker" gets me a interesting collection of images, a lot of Iron Man unsurprisingly, but no signs of this particular image. Since coming up with the right combination of keywords was going to be too long of a challenge for the night, I thought I would give that image Google search a try using tonight's photo. I wasn't really sure it would actually come up with something, so I can't say I was terribly surprised when nothing came up. But I have to admit that I thought it was kind of funny that Google felt the closest result they could come up with was an Ipod. This sticker is one that I see all the time though and I know I've got a couple of exposures of it. That feeling of being in the shadows and the contrast of the bright lines defining the face catches my eye every time. I just need to make sure I have plenty of time to try and find something for it when I decide to feature it again.
