I don't remember how I first began reading Brian Battjer's photo-blog, but I read about five years of his entries in one weekend, and I've never looked back. He lives his life like I'd like to live mine, but there are several important differences between him and me: 1) I age. Seriously, folks, he's a man-boy reminiscent of Robin Williams in Jack. 2) I don't know or hang out around many authors, models, or record label owners. I've heard the application process to be one of his friends is brutal. And 3) His friends don't seem to mind that he is constantly snapping photos of their lives. Mine tend to snarl and not speak to me for a few days when I try the same.

Not just the big moments, but everything. Bad days and good, Battjer is constantly taking pictures. Here, he scares his friend, Grant, several times. I nearly lose it watching the last one:

Clown Car

Joli and I pulled up to the gas station this morning to fill up the tank, and we saw these clowns sitting in a Jeep. It was surreal. I ran over and asked them if I could take a picture.

While they were posing, I said, "Did you guys just rob this place?"

They said no.

I said, "Do you have any kids in the trunk?"

They drove away.
