Andy -- up to any good whatsoever?
Out for dinner last night with Andy. NOT because it was Valentine’s Day (which is a holiday we don’t celebrate), but rather because our local sushi restaurant was having a special sake-pairing dinner and we’re both interested in learning more about sake. No, wait — i think Andy’s interested in drinking, but i am very much interested in sake in particular. I’ve not found much alcohol i really enjoy (wine, no thank you; beer, no thank you), but i love sake.
I also love taking pictures of Andy, especially while we’re sitting in restaurants (because it’s when he’s finally still enough to photograph). I have an entire series where Andy emotes across a range of “i’m bored”/glare, “i’m tired of walking”/glare, and “are you done taking pictures yet”/glare.
Here we have a fine, rare example of “i’ve been drinking and so am almost feeling like smiling”/glare.
Dialogue after i took this picture:
Chris: “And now comes the part where we’ve enjoyed our nice dinner out and you slide a gift box across the table to me, and upon opening it i discover a brand new gun with 2 clips, and you explain that i have to shoot that guy twice, run down the hall to the restroom, make my way to the last stall, crawl out the tiny window thru’ which i should just fit for i am small, and then make my escape down the alley.”
Andy: “Well, i’m glad that movie was good for something.”
Chris: “That’s probably the best way i can sum up my feelings about Besson — he makes lousy movies, but enduring imagery.”
