“We’ll Know It When We See It”

So there we were, basking the the typical glamorous dining in the aftermath of a long hard day of working with the Studley Tool Cabinet and Workbench.  In this case it was pizza and beer, well I had the pizza, in a local eatery that was by this time of evening pretty much deserted.  Our typical day of working with Studley began about 0830 and wrapped up twelve hours later.

The ongoing dinner discussions revolved around the visual presentation of the book, most specifically the covers.  Tomorrow was the day Narayan was dedicating to the last few glamour shots and the cover art possibilities, a task that would take all day if everything went well, and we did not want him wasting time going in the wrong direction.

We did not share a common vision for the image portraying the tool cabinet on the cover, and the discussion was spirited as we each made a pitch for our favorite concept.

Once it was clear that no one was going to actually win the argument, Chris stated simply, “We will know it when we see it.”

He was right.
