I have pictured hundreds, no, make that thousands of people. I love none more than this guy (there is a 'pictured' girl that I love more, stay tuned) - a nameless baker from an assignment - A Day in the Life of Pittsburgh - for Pittsburgh Magazine. This guy obviously loves his work and, IMO, I captured that love in this picture.

I am posting this picture, at 1:15 AM after drinking 3/4 of a fifth of bourbon and 2 hours on the phone with my best friend, as a testament to true love - I have not left the wife despite our differences over how the bedroom should be remodeled.

Ain't love strange?

Bakers have the best job in the world. Finished working at 10am every day. Whole days stretching before you to play golf. Least that's how my dad managed to be a scratch golfer for 30+ years.

Son of a baker, too many 2am starts, that's why I got another job.

He does look at peace with his loaf in life.
