10am Update: Smoking from a Sprite Bottle
So… this is our China Bus Driver. He’s smoking “something” out of a Sprite bottle. Most of us on the bus think it’s pot. This other modern dancer we met at the bus stop, Andrea, worried it was opium. Maybe this guy just likes the way Sprite makes his tobacco taste. right? Well, we didn’t [...]

paw prints from three snows ago
“Neighbor Cats” paw prints, Thursday, December 31, 2009. As a rule I don’t like cats. …mostly because they make it hard for me to breathe. Admittedly, I enjoy watching cats from a far. And my favorite kind of cat is ferrel. They keep the mice away. We’ve got a family of 4-6 cats living in [...]

Believe it or not, the structure behind us is — check this out — made of styrofoam!!!!! Marty’s step dad [...]

ActionSampler
Whoa! it’s been a while since I’ve used film. There’s a frozen bag of old C-41 in my freezer. It’s all expired and it’s been in and out of the freezer so often, I question it’s consistency. So, I figure the best thing to do with those rolls is to make photos that don’t matter. [...]

Now, this may not be the best photo to describe emotional lighting, buuuut, it’s by far the most convenient. I shot it Saturday. I [...]
