mean muggin'

mug shot duty is one of the unfortunate realities of earning a pay check photographing for a newspaper. while mindless and time-consuming most of the time, occasionally, the universe hands you a high school wrestler with a black eye with the bravado of a boy who just learned he could grow a goatee.

later at the same assignment, when you're frustrated about the fact that one team member is 20 minutes late and is holding up team photo, the universe gives you a boy with the friendliest orange afro and makes it up to you.

i don't think i'll ever do anything with these photos other than appreciate the faces and make me thankful that i never had to participate in any activity that obligated me to wear translucent white spandex during puberty.
