Sorry, no Misadventures in Stock Photography today! (Surely there must be one from a couple years ago you haven’t seen yet?!!) I waited until too late Sunday to start working on it, and by then I was cranky about my washing machine’s spin cycle going out, plus vaguely migrainey (a theme throughout the weekend) on top of that. On the plus side, I did get the place cleaned and even grouted the tub over the weekend…

Think cool thoughts – Minneapolis and environs are going to be in an excessive heat/humidity warning for much of the week.

Welcome to another edition of the Misadventures in Stock Photography! Today we’ll be checking in to see what Baddest Santa Guy‘s been up to. (I really didn’t want to believe this was Baddest Santa Guy, nor that the covers without a jacket were the same guy as the covers with a jacket, but… the hairline and the underwear line say otherwise.)
