Whoops! You got me there Zach. Someone took a picture of me at a recent reading and posted it to the Artbar reading series website. I can't stop them from doing that and I certainly do not want to start policing the internet which apparently is a hobby of yours....

What about a picture posted by your publisher? You just couldn't stop him?

Ohhhh, I get it. It's not microphones that are bad, it's posing that's bad. Check. Fortunately for me, none of my at-the-mic shots were posed either, but were posted to the internet by other people who "took" them at live readings, where a microphone can, you know, help people hear what you're saying. Phew.

Okay, so posing's bad. What aboutthis one? Or this totally candid shot? Or this picture of perfectly focused poetic intensity?

Must be the combination of "posing" and microphone that offends you. Makes perfect sense. Damned 20th century technology and media culture corrupting the pure pastoral lyric impulse. Far better to pose with a more romantic bit of equipment, eh? Or perhaps something even more naturel? Oops, sorry, wrong Chris Banks. Damn duplicitous internet!

Gee, I've been blogging for only four days and already I'm the poster boy at "Career Limiting Moves"! It's a dream come true!
