RON SWARNER: TWO CAR GARAGE COVER SHOOT >>>

Matt Driscoll and I are afflicted with a syndrome we call "Poor Devil." Whenever we see someone less fortunate than ourselves  â€" the morbidly obese, Vashon ferry captains, Mrs. Bobble Tiki â€"  we are so overcome with pity that we find ourselves momentarily ruined. If this occurs at a bar, God forbid, we can’t even continue drinking for a few minutes until the bout of Poor Devil has passed.

I mention this because he and I are the Poor Devils right now. We gave up the chance to photograph a hot chick this morning. Yeah, I don't now what we were thinking. Instead, we turned the assignment over to a professional â€" Weekly Volcano photographer J.M. Simpson

As you will see by his shots, he nailed it.

The photo shoot was for the album cover for the upcoming split disc, Two Car Garage, that the Fabulous Wailers and the Ventures will release April 10 in celebration of their 50th anniversaries of rockin' Tacoma. Held at Austin's Pro Max at the corner of 56th and South Tacoma Way, Simpson captured Reanna Scott, stage name Fuchsia Foxxx, as she struck pose after pose.

Matt, you Poor Devil, I think we need to rethink our priorities.
