With just five more to go I reach number eleven in the Itek series. Featuring none other than SEO keyword, me, Craig Ashby.

Not my favorite pose but still a good image. I remember how hard posing was in that cramped hole inside the machine. Maybe an inch of room to twist, but once I had my hands in my face there was no moving again without climbing out of the machine and getting back in with my hands down. That’s how tight it was.

The pose reminds me of an ancient joke between myself and Lauren Bass, an old friend from Governor’s School. It involved a teacher at North Carolina School of the Arts critiquing bad drawings of hands. Long silly story I am unable to recall at the moment. More importantly, where the hell are you Lauren Bass?

Ladies, please stop changing your last names when you marry. Not only is feminism still relevant, it’s fitting for the internet era. Regardless of your ideology, it just makes sense.

Back to the image, tomorrow’s color version does a better job of working the flaws out in this particular piece. By working out, I mean cover up with intense organic color and staining.
