steveb leatherworks: the blather

oh man, I’ve cried me a river for the past 6mos and you’d think the cheap bastids who control the purse strings over here at the steveb co.inc, etc. would give a crap. But, noooo these shit heels in the front office with the solar powered calculators say to me – ” B, you are going to continue to put out that goddamn blog, on a daily frequency and you’re going to make it look good and your going to keep giving it away for free and your going to do it with a smile on your puss and your gonna keep using your speel check  – got it?…got it?” oh yeah and you know that big fat raise that was supposed to come your way? Ha – forget it, now GTFU and don’t come back”

So in an ongoing attempt to give you freeloaders even more sticky gooey and wholesome goodness, the Editorial staff  and the Art & Design team got together and had a bake sale and came up with enough scratch to buy the photographer, a real camera to supplant the little point and shoot  that has been the sole source of unique visual content….well…..forever. I love my litttle POS (point&shoot), but if ya want to play in the big leagues, ya got to make the bet and up-level. ‘sides, who can resist buying expensive electronic dingdonglers, not me, thats for sho….

I knew something was up, I mean how many goddamn muffins would you have to sell to cover the nut for this new unit….I figured about 5,000 muffins would have to fly off the shelf…. and the art&design team, well…they are just not that motivated when it comes to follow through. I mean look at Paco, our CSO, I mean he is the main sponsor of these corporate initiatives and look at him…head in the damn heater, useless i tell ya….

So yeah, the corp. photog is being sent to school to learn how to use this new rock machine – the venerable Nikon D90 with a 18-200 zoom. Here are a few shots taken today during a test. I see good things coming from this investment….
