"Fools Rush In..." tells the story of an anonymous art history professor who gets into a fight with a truck driver who had insulted his mother. Although his mother was quite proud of him, the professor was not sure as to how to feel about the incident, whether it was a good thing or bad, whether to be glad or ashamed.

I often find myself re-using and recycling bits of my work in other pieces. The fellow by the car is my friend Mark fom college. I shot the picture for a story book project I was working on at the time. You can see/read that story here.
