Mark Boedges. One of my favorites. Some have said that realism—especially photorealism—though it requires tremendous technical skill, is less painterly, and even lacks artistic merit. I’ve thought a lot about that academic argument and have tried to take it seriously, but I just

The most overrated play in sports history.

These were taken on the same day, about 15 minutes apart in locales separated by about 8 miles.
