Nothing About Pleasantville



Well, I've choose this title 'cause it reminded me those scenes from "Pleasantville" when things turned into color from b/w...
I took this shot in Bonn, Germany...

Today's joke:

A young engineer was leaving the office at 3.45 p.m. when he found the acting CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand.
"Listen," said the Acting CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary is not here. Can you make this thing work?"
"Certainly," said the young engineer. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.
"Excellent, excellent!" said the Acting CEO as his paper disappeared inside the machine, "I just need one copy."

Lesson: Never, ever, assume that your boss knows what he's doing.

  12. Joke: That's for darn sure. Love the b/w with the hint of color in there. Ver Spielbergish as he did this in Schindler's list movie.

  14. Excellent postwork on this capture, you've mastered the process beautifully!... This street reminds me of the main shopping street in Freiburg(im Breisgau), a favorite destination of mine, not far from the borders with France.
