“Brothers don’t shake hands, brothers gotta hug!”

(Name the awesome movie that line came from.) I am sharing the latest bit of humor from Aaron Johnson, my favorite photography cartoonist, that illustrates the negative experiences I was talking about in my last post.

Aaron is another person that I give credit to for helping me in my photography profession progression, because his oh-so-accurate comic strips have brought me much-needed laughs and relief from the stress of it all. It really helps that someone truly understands the daily struggles of the professional photographer, the creative blocks, and the, uh, quirks of potential clients.

So, a shout-out today to Aaron Johnson! Check out more of his awesome comic, “What the Duck”, here.

And now for the business report…

I think one of the more overlooked sources of “art in life” are political cartoons. Not all qualify, of course, but I’m often struck by the amazingly realistic illustration and compact witticisms of political cartoons, the social commentator’s art. Plus, it is always equal-opportunity skewering of donkeys and elephants and everyone in between.

This one is by Joe Heller – makes you want to laugh and despair at the same time.
