Chinatown by color & texture

Food (IMO) shouldn't have a face.



























The granny undies made me do it!

Real vs. fake.

Chinatown Random

Playing with Fire (Again)

Church Courtyard Corridor

Lassen by the Full Moon (Experiments in Night Photography)

I went camping last weekend and decided that the full moon was a good excuse to play with long exposures.

Barbie Flambé

Some people said it would be a shame to burn my work, and as fond as I was of what I had made, there was only reason I made this piece:


Burn the witch! Burn her!




















Don't feel too badly for her; she died a noble death: for art. When I found her for fifty cents in the thrift store, she had already been victim of a dog attack. The poor one armed Barbie would never again have a little girl choose her to play with, to grow up loathing her thunder thighs, bulging belly, and huge ass without realizing why, thus making her the perfect subject and "sacrifice".

Corporate Goddesses

An amusing L.A. Times article about these statues: http://articles.latimes.com/2007/jan/04/local/me-statues4.

Blue lake in summer.

Aerial Dancer

The antique claw foot tub

I stayed at the supposedly haunted Majestic Hotel in S.F. last weekend.
Nothing happened but I did take a bath at 5 am.

Roller Derby

Admittedly, not the best picture in terms of exposure and noise, but I like the shadow.

Been too busy to post.

It weighs heavy on my conscience.

I have photos...just no time to put them up.

Soon...soon...soon?

Those Sadist Cowboys of the Old West

Avaishya, two years ago.
Fun bit of trivia: she just got married. Congratulations!

Pillow Fight!!!

I debated even posting these as the majority of them are of children...and I have no model releases...but I decided that a public event such as World Pillow Fight Day needs to be publicized as much as possible. This post is my sole exception to the share-alike license I have on this blog- these may not be shared; they are copyrighted because I say so.

If anyone recognizes their picture or their child's picture and wants me to remove the photo, please message me. Thanks.

OMG, I nearly didn't post anything at all for April

I missed my blog's two year birthday and everything!

I log in and see that we now have the option for "Dynamic Views" or some layout bullshit because apparently Blogger feels threatened enough by Tumblr to adopt some of their more creative page layouts. I'm interested...yet, not...now. Chronology isn't a bad format and I like the text to go with the photos, (if I choose to write text to go with the photos, that is), thank you very much.

This is just a stand-in post while I sort through photos I took in the last month or so.

Yes...there are more Preston Castle photos but so much sorting to do. (I saw your comment, Alycen, I'm just being lazy! Sorry!)
