For Every Dreamboat There Is A Barge
Having recently returned from vacation, I couldn't have been more ready to get back to work. But alas, the Cosmos often likes to crouch behind your legs while Fate pushes you over. So, predictably, first-thing Monday morning I re-injured my back, making sitting at the drawing table an excruciating prospect.
Just to clarify, a back injury isn't all drawbacks. While I can't do any extensive drawing, I'm able to manage a few quick sketches throughout the day. And since I have to spend so much time standing upright, I can pursue the timeless art of writing. This is the perfect opportunity for personal reflection. For the thinking of deep thoughts, and the investigation of the intricacies of life — alluring mysteries that can only be sundered by the dream-edged daggers of philosophy and introspection.
But instead I chose to wield the blunt butter-knife of procrastination, exploring the deep mysteries of just what images come up when I google myself.
Now, for those who might not know, I do share my name with a Chippendales Dancer. Tall, blond, bronze, and dedicated to the art of Performing, he is the Julius to my Vincent. As you can imagine, the majority of searches for Kevin Cornell result in images of this sturdy doppleganger. Which I'm perfectly okay with, except I dislike the idea that if someone is doing a search for "Kevin Cornell bare-chested" or "gyrating" or "flexing buttocks", and they actually are looking for me, they're going to be very disappointed. And so I wrote this article, so that my own contributions to the art of Performance may be entered into the annals of searchable images. I think you'll agree, this isn't so much a personal quest, as a legitimate public service. Observe me now, in all my glory:
Though to be honest, this is probably the more accurate rendition of my performance:
In either case, goodbye for now. Maybe I'll catch up with you saucy cats later... perhaps on the losing end of an erotic query. Ciao!

- The Prokudin-Gorskii Photographic Record
- What's most amazing about these is how contemporary the images become once they're in color. I think we all sort of forget that old world wasn't actually black and white, or sepia-toned.
