Andrew Garfield – The Other Spider-Man

Andrew Garfield was rather an unknown talent to the world until a spider’s bite webbed him to international fame. In 2012 the world was intrigued by the new, ever-smiling Spider-Man.  We watched as the young actor transformed the old, familiar history of the web swinger, into a thrilling performance like no other. He was not new to acting or to the stage, just a hidden talent that popped up chasing an oversized lizard, dangling from a web. He may not have had that Superman entrance, but he sure did create a stir in the media and home video sales numbers. Fans and critics poured all over this smiling Garfield. Who is this Actor? Andrew Russel Garfield was born in Los Angeles on June 9, 1983. At age three his parents moved back to Epsom, England, where he grew up and studied to become an actor.  He garnered early TV roles quickly, appearing in the Channel 4 drama Sugar Rush in 2005.

For some, Love is their drug. For others, drugs are their drug. For me, it’s flea markets. They’re addictive — once you’ve experienced one, you feel the need to visit regularly or else you might miss some junk you don’t need that you wouldn’t have found otherwise. I love the discount deals on household items and the occasional rare score of a vintage geek collectible for a great price. But what I love most about flea markets is the amusement to be found in odd and unusual knock-off and/or bootleg products, particularly cheaply-made imports with their crudely designed artwork, garishly colored packaging, and “Engrish” product descriptions. There are whole websites devoted to the showcasing and collecting of these products (hereafter referred to as “KOs”). But I just photograph them for others’ amusement. First up is this knock-off toy based on Pixar’s Cars movie franchise, with its creepy, ventriloquist dummy-type bulging eyes. (Note the packaging says “Funny Car” and unintentionally so.) You have to give the designer some credit for the
