Matthew.

The last time I saw my buddy Matthew we were discussing space things.
This is for you, Matt.
Though I will say that I'm not very satisfied with the photos.
I took the polaroids from Jonathan, drew the planets (you'll see I included Pluto--ooh controversy) on them, then pinned them to a cardboard box with a piece of an old hoodie duct taped to it.  For Matthew's sake as well as my own I looked up the size ratios of the planets using Jupiter as the base.  So there was an attempt to make the scale somewhat accurate, as accurate as one can be free-handing circles and using a ruler on one's phone.  I tried.  I think that's the important part.  I do admit that I did not try in the least to replicate to scale their relative distance from one another.  Fail on that part.  I just wanted their arrangement to look aesthetically pleasing.
