Apparently I can remember a Sesame Street skit from 25 years ago, yet I have difficulty remembering what happened yesterday. *sigh* Have a great weekend, everyone!
Mr. Barber Man: “Snippity snip…”

Have a great weekend you too, Robert!
Thank you very much, Malin! I hope you have a great one!
🙂
You have such a gift for taking the ordinary and creating art…..often master pieces, Robert! Have a fabulous weekend!
This was one of those ‘found while rummaging’ / ‘I wonder if there would be any interesting textures in this?’ images. *sigh* Yeah… I don’t know. You are far too kind (I do know that). Thank you very much, Robyn!
🙂
Yes indeed – I can still sing the entire jingle to a bread company advert from the 1960s, but did I have dinner last night??? I’d best check with my wife ‘:-)
It’s so bizarre… I’ll get up… walk into another room, and by the time I get there I’ve already forgotten why I went there! Then I’ll start thinking about something from 25 years ago! 🙂
and that barber kept on cuttin’ and he cut and cut some more. . .
I confess to looking that up. I hadn’t thought of that in years. What fun!
Happy weekend to you, too.
Hahaha… I had to look it up, too! That ‘snippity snip’ was the first thing I thought of when I was looking for a quote (but I couldn’t remember the rest). A lot of those skits were actually pretty clever (I think)… I love how his friends get covered / lost in the end… (maybe this explains something about my sense of humor). Many thanks, H.C! 🙂
Sometimes I think the only thing about living in NY that is missing is the Sesame Street soundtrack! Love the playful smile on your Tin Snips SiG but not I trust the cutting ways . . . wonderful detail and character!
While I’m on this ‘remembering things’ kick (which is unusual for me)…
your comment reminded me how when I was a kid I thought Sesame Street was an actual street in N.Y. I was always trying to find it on maps, etc. Hahaha… yikes!
🙂
I’ll be in the Nursing Home still singing “Come and play . . .” 🙂
“Sing… sing a song…”
Seriously… my memory is a VERY strange thing!!!
🙂
Great composition. Very effective use of cutting edge technology in the art of photography. Direct & to the point. 🙂
How kind of you to say, sir! I’m a bit relieved to hear this didn’t come across as being to ‘dull’!
🙂
I’m giving Joseph a new name: The Pundit of Puns. 🙂
Good bold image, Robert. 🙂
Seems perfect to me, S.E!
And thank you! Very much!
🙂
Now hold still. I’m just going to take a little off the top. Never mind that blood dripping from your ear.
Hahaha… sounds like asking you to even out the other side might be a bit painful!
🙂
cool!
Thank you!
🙂
No worries SIG. I can’t remember what I ate for breakfast yesterday. It’s probably better that way.
Have a great weekend!
Hahaha… I know the feeling! At least… it seems vaguely familiar!
Many thanks, Ms. C – I hope you had a good one, too!
🙂
Snip . . . snip . . . don’t slip. 😀
I guess I probably shouldn’t be running…
🙂
Very sharp! : )
Many thanks, Karen!
🙂
Cool photo. You didn’t run with these, did you?
Every once in awhile I catch myself singing the Oscar Mayer weiner song from my childhood. That was one advertising jingle that worked.
Hahaha… Now, that doesn’t seem like the sort of thing I would do, does it?! 😉
Me, too! And sometimes even with a mouthful of lunch!
🙂
Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnn Snips….RUSTED
Ohhhhh, snip!!!
🙂
This photo instantly made me thing of a crocodile
Interesting! I wonder if my last painting influenced me to do this?!
🙂
Probably…
Robert, please don’t snip me! Ouch! That’s what this photo makes me feel. I like the definition and the contrasting colors. I’ve never looked at one of these clippers so close. It feels sharp!
No worries, Amy! I wouldn’t do such a thing to someone as kind as you!
Thank you very much! Originally I made this straight b/w… but I kind of liked the tones, too!
🙂
I swear it is smiling at me 😯
Hopefully it doesn’t start talking, too (wouldn’t it be creepy if it had a Dr. Lecter voice)?!
😦
Cutting edge art!
Why, thank you, Binky! That’s particularly nice to hear coming from someone as sharp as yourself!
🙂
love the click! snips which may also cut string for tying on fingers for remembering where those keys are. a big help is, of course, the key hook. if i remember to hang them up there, then all is well. but then comes the part about remembering to hang them there in the first place…
anyhow, thanks for sharing!
Oh, yes! I hear that, P&K! I’ve devoted a spot in one particular drawer for my keys. I do my best to put them back there all the time… because if I go looking for them and they aren’t there… it could be years before I manage to remember where I put them last (or just happen upon them)!
🙂
I’d rather argue with the Aligator than with those… Nice B&W Bob 🙂
Indeed! With my reputation it’s very lucky I haven’t injured myself while working with them yet!
🙂
Pretty! I’m super interested in the way you went portrait on this instead of landscape. I guess landscape is obvious? But also more sensical, too. So this is messing with me. And not in a bad way.
It’s cool you should mention that, U.M… because I did shoot it 90 degrees counter-clockwise from this. But then as I was playing around with it in Photoshop I started to wonder if it might be a bit more dynamic feeling if I rotated it. Not sure why… but I kind of liked it more this way. I think. Maybe. Kind of. 🙂
As you get older the short term memory goes. You’ll remember yesterday next week…lol
Hahaha… too funny, Deb! And I hope so! Remember anything sounds pretty good at this point!
🙂
With your hands, you can create everything! 😀 I like this amazing piece of art that you created! Elegant black!
How incredibly kind of you to say, Cristina! Thank you! I am very happy you liked the low-key… I knew I wanted to keep this ‘minimal’ feeling… but I had a difficult time deciding if I should shoot this against white or black.
🙂
We had a fence row that had a ton of bushes with thorns that needed to be removed. I took my 12 year old self and determined to remove it with tin snips. I removed it all, except for a tree. It still is there. What is amazing is that nobody told me to do it. I could have went so much quicker with some hefty sheers!
Now that is dedication! I did something similar when I was a bit older than that… I think I might have used a machete, though. Considering how things go for me at times it’s probably pretty lucky I still have all my limbs after that!
🙂
Oh I can relate! One example: I was discussing a birth with one of my patients and I couldn’t remember the word ‘forceps’ – all I could come up with was ‘spatula’. Love the photo!!
*WHEW* I’m relieved it’s not just me! Wowza… I imagine you have some crazy terminology to keep track of! I would be lost! Help! Stat! (That’s a thing, right? Stat? I don’t know. I think I saw it on ‘E.R.’ once, so… you know. I’m convinced).
🙂
macro fabulous my friend!
That’s very kind of you, good sir!
🙂
I like the positioning – with that space below, they’re more animated somehow – wonderful.
Thank you so very much! ‘Weight’ one of those things I spend a lot longer playing around with than I should probably admit… I try this… and that… and the other thing (so it’s very nice to hear you liked it)! Thank you again!
🙂
great lighting 🙂
How kind of you to say! Thank you! I like to use natural light whenever I can (try to keep things simpler on myself).
🙂
This looks great with
a black backdrop SIG 🙂
Andro
Many thanks, Andro! I looked at both black and white, but in the end this seemed to be working about the best… I think. Maybe. 🙂
