    My photos are available here and here’s a collection of clips off my Cyber-shot camera.

View Category My coworker Matt asks if the woman pictured on the left, photographed for the Detroit Free Press at a Ciao Bella fashion show in July, is the same woman on the right, who, in December, is also in the Detroit Free Press for the hit and run killing of a bicyclist in Royal Oak.

    How about some outrage over the dumbass who wrote “arguements” in the caption.
