3D Portrait

the first FCP of all time

I was walking through Wicker Park on a sunny Fall Sunday when I happened to see some folks setting up a table near the fountain. A friendly voice called out to me "Say, would you like a free crappy portrait?"

I can't tell you if it was the cheery balloons and streamers on the folding table, the blinding sunlight or my severe over-caffeination, but something told me that I needed to be a part of something that seemed so special, so unique, so... free.

I've just never seen such a crappy picture of myself. I mean, it blows that old drivers license and the 6th grade bowl haircut and retainer-wearing photos right out of the water.

They don't lie. They're free, and they're definitely crappy. And apparently I am the first. Hmm.

Note: I forgot about the "Yoi" thing, but Gretchen kindly explained:  "I was saying "good for yoi" a lot right then because I had traveled to New Zealand and that's how they pronounce "you" and there was a woman we met that said 'good for yoi' and it just stuck."
