Another tedious visit to my doctor, where we have to endure the almost-unreadable collection of magazines (however, this time Kim managed to find an acceptably recent issue of Time), the almost-unbearable display of dozens of Thomas Kinkade reproductions, and just the wait itself. This is where an occasional infliction of pain is almost a welcome distraction. And it is the setting that inspires my new project and its Internet domain name, banalphotos.com.
