Dearly Beloved

We are gathered here today to say our goodbyes to a dear sweet Philippino Boy who one day popped into my life. And now just as quickly as he appeared his will vanishing into the Westy Sun stricken valley of California. I will remember the time he brought me to see Amy Arbus and our post-raffle lunches. HE TAUGHT ME THE MEANING OF THE HASSELBLAD

TO ILLICRACKER.

You Shall be missed!!!

Hiatus

I am leaving this evening to spend a week with my sisters and Madre upstate in New Paltz. I hope for lots of snow and that i will return with lots of photographs. I have been dreaming of making a snow photograph of my little sister!

Found this festive photograph on Amy Elkins Blog, and thought it quite amazing. And relevant, even though both myself and Mrs. Arbus are Jewish.

Santas for Everyone.

TNL for LYFE

Today i spent the evening in the printing with a crazy little photographer Tracy. Tracy describe my pictures as "all having the same moody blah" I am pretty sure she meant that as a compliment. But either way i think she is a pretty Brillant photographer. She didnt give me my favorite image hers, which is a satrical image of a middle aged woman hiding behind her cat (unofficially entitled "Cat Lady"), but rather one her her own more moddy portrait .

Thinking

About Blogging more often.
After several people telling me it might be a good idea, i think i might take their word into consideration.

Some things to ponder visually:
