During an afternoon run to the local record store, the paparazzi snapped a photo of me snapping a photo of them.

I've always had this fascination with vintage pinball machines and electronic games. They've always seemed like such incredible pop works of art with their sign painter qualities, lettering, and graphic appeal.
I recall spending hours of my youth at various mom and pop's beer joints, watching my father play these sorts of games. I'd sit and watch from a nearby booth or a red padded bar stool, sipping numerous Coca-Colas through a paper straw, while he dropped quarters, rolls of them, one at a time, into the inviting works of art.
