I think "lifestyle" has replaced "personality" for a lot of people and I think it has a lot to do with social media. It's all about how you invest your time and energy.

>Nowadays people hide behind expensive clothes Whos to say his clothes aren't expensive?

He suggested that he's not HIDING behind expensive clothes. He did not speak to how expensive/inexpensive his clothes are.

Reminds me of the time my dad told me he did a gram of cocaine a week my entire childhood and didn't stop until I was 19. At first I was like "WHAT?!" and then I was like "oh wow that explains a lot."

> he did a gram of cocaine a week This is a very small habit, for cocaine at least. A heavy user who has money, a gram is like their morning coffee.

I honestly used to think it was a portrait of Jesus when I was a kid, because my dad is now completely bald and only wears a short goatee! Also, it’s a gin and tonic with lemon wedge, which is somehow SO RIGHT

It is a curious fact, and one to which no one knows quite how much importance to attach, that something like 85% of all known worlds in the Galaxy, be they primitive or highly advanced, have invented a drink called jynnan tonnyx, or gee-N'N-T'N-ix, or jinond-o-nicks, or any one of a thousand or more variations on the same phonetic theme. The drinks themselves are not the same, and vary between the Sivolvian 'chinanto/mnigs' which is ordinary water served at slightly above room temperature, and the Gagrakackan 'tzjin-anthony-ks' which kill cows at a hundred paces; and in fact the one common factor between all of them, beyond the fact that the names sound the same, is that they were all invented and named before the worlds concerned made contact with any other worlds.

More like less glamorous. Someone needs to shoot the tampon for the cover of a Tampax box. A respected commercial photographer in places New York, Chicago or Toronto could get a few thousand bucks for a good tampon shot if they sign over the IP rights. I’ve spent 20 years in and out of these studios and they alway have all this awesome artsy fartsy stuff on the walls, but it’s usually the tampons that are paying the bills.

Do you know how much money wedding photographers make? Because it’s a shit ton.
21 赞2018/11/12
Depends on which wedding photographer it is. I know a ton who make very little, and I know one handful who make $75k or more after taxes, and 2 who make over six figures. Everyone and their brother thinks they’re a professional photographer now, so it’s a very competitive field which is also incredibly expensive to run (if you’re running a legal business with appropriate licenses, insurance, and taxes).

379 赞2018/11/12
This was his first dog as an adult! Her name was Rosebud. She was a really special dog from what I hear. I have some really great photos of her and him—one of my other favorite photos is him knackered, about to pass out in a field of wildflowers, with her licking his face. Apparently he was camping somewhere, there was a wildfire, and he volunteered to help put it out and was out working all night.

The way you talk about your dad makes me feel like you have a great respect for him. Whatever he did while raising you, must have done it right!
346 赞2018/11/12
It’s funny, I always thought he kinda sucked when I was a kid, cuz he worked so hard I never really saw him. Now I get the opportunity to really spend time with him and get to know him, and it’s changed my perspective so much. And you can’t tell a kid “dad does so much, and he’s a real person with real hopes and dreams and interests” cuz the kid doesn’t give a fuck, all the kid knows is they only see dad after 7pm and on weekends, ya know? All you know is “dad says weed the garden, it builds character”. But when you grow up, it’s really really special to get that chance. And you realize why he said shit like that. Thanks for your comment, honestly—I’ve been spending the past few years trying to meet my dad on his own ground, understanding who he is and why, and trying to make him see how much I respect him and who he shaped me to be.

Lucky. My dad worked 50 miles from home and had to take the train to NYC everyday so he left at 6am and didn't come home until 9-10pm sometimes later during tax season when he got a job for one of the big 4 companies when I was 6. He had weekends off but sometimes, especially tax season, had to go in on weekends too (but for shorter hours). My 9th birthday was the day after 9/11 and the trains weren't running into the city so he was able to stay home on my birthday for pretty much the first time ever that year. As terrible as it sounds I was excited about it (I did feel bad about 9/11 though).

He’s a lot more willing to open up these days now that the kids are all grown up. I’m very grateful to have this photo of him!
