The photo machine.

People once had one name. Then characteristics or attributes were added to this one name. Grand Michele, Mercenary Mike, Cowboy Bob and Jack the American are a few composite names from my past. Other names of this sort are Robin des Bois and Jack l'éventreur. One name came to not be enough even with a modifier. Classification collectively turned to occupations and locale. Stoneypoint, Steinman, Drapier and Montjoie are a few of this sort to have bumped past over the years. Still not enough we now resort to photographs of our very own selves to assure the body before anonymous inquisitors is in fact who we think ourselves to be.

Merci Colette for the picture of a humble fellow making a living off our society's insecurity.
