I have never claimed exceptional point and shoot camera powers. So when I found myself running around North Park mall with a rubber ducky wearing a sheep costume, a list, and my point & shoot camera you better believe there was trouble. And, no, I didn’t randomly decide to invade the mall with a camera and ducky. This was all Joana’s idea to celebrate another year of me terrorizing Dallas. My birthday. I’m old.


Which brings me to the Gnomie story. After Mikalah’s engagement pictures a week ago, Gnomie decided to wave goodbye to the couple. His waving got out of control (clearly he had been take a swig of whisky when no one was looking) and he fell out of my photography bag and broke his grass.

So please welcome my new knife-carrying Gnomie from the streets of Pasadena. Watch out, he means business.
