A Jerald Controversy.


So on Friday, Tom W and I posted our tribute photos of Jerald Johnson.

Andrew Gall sent in this comment:
"you really should have set up a speaker to make the tribute photos more authentic"

Tom's swift reply was this:
"Screw you pal, it was a near-impossible task recreating the majesty that is the Jerald Johnson profile pic. Jerald operates on a level so much higher than us that the speaker you see is probably made of lemming's tears from the planet Volcrom, which is inaccessible to David and I here in New York, duh. Consequently, we did not want to dishonor Jerald with a slipshod replica for fear of his mighty wrath."

Now might be a good time to share some alternate shots from that photoshoot:




EADJ cordially invites Andrew and you, the other reader, to submit your own Jerald Tribute photos!

I apologize for my rash criticism. I tried to create a photo of my own this weekend and broke a large glass candle holder in the process. Clearly I have failed to grasp the difficulty of recreating this amazing shot.

Jerald is about unity, not division.

Can't we all just get along?
