Along with the "driving around in circles to get 2 spots closer to the supermarket" issue, I'm amazed at the degree to which people perceive that having to park 3 blocks away from their destination in the urban hellhole is some unimaginable burden.
Obviously there are people with mobility issues for whom it might be a giant burden, but I'm not talking about them...

Through the Layers Looking Glass with Dave Hill
LA-based photographer Dave Hill is known for lighting and shooting each segment of his photos separately, then later combining them with mad Photoshop skills to create the final image. That also gives him the ability to do something you have probably never seen before -- expand the layers after-the-fact for a 3-D trip through his 2-D images with the video above.
Created for the launch of the redesign of his website, this video is made from images in his "Adventure Girl" series. If you follow Dave you'll definitely want to head over for more, including new images and plenty of behind-the-scenes footage from his shoots.
As you'll see in the BTS vids, Dave lights the crap out of everything. How he keeps track of the lighting continuity is completely beyond me.
For those interested in knowing how someone goes from shooting local skateboarders in Nashville to doing this kinda of stuff, check out this interview from 2008.

Bad Outcome
I'm not one who thinks our Galtian Overlords are necessarily especially bright, so I often wonder if their policy desires actually make any sense for them. Obviously the banksters have made out pretty well in all of this, but not because they have any idea how to run banks. They made out pretty well because they got the government and the Fed to give them lots of free money.
It's hard to quantify any of this, and there's a big mess in trying to think about the difference incentives facing investors and servicers, especially given that some are both, but wouldn't things be better even for the banksters if, say, bankruptcy cramdown had passed?
