(No actual men were harmed in the writing of this blog entry)

So, over the weekend I had the unique privilege of taking some photos with my camera, Rick.  Like I said, I have three cameras — Rick, Chumlee and the Old Man.  Chumlee and Little Chumlee are my everyday cameras and I can use Rick sometimes.  Getting Rick involves an extensive interview process and background check.

When I do pass the background check, Rick gets to be mine for a couple of days.  So, on my weekend sojourn to New York, I took a lot of photos with Rick, including this one:

So how do clothes make the man in this picture?  Well, they don’t because you can only see his hand, but what the title means is that the optical quality of a photo make is yet more interesting.  This photo could have been very average, if it hadn’t been taken the optical wonder known as Rick, the camera.  I wonder if it would be as interesting if the raindrops had been less sharply rendered.  I guess clothes did make the man this time.
