Anybody wanna buy me? I’m 9’ 9”, beautiful, tons of tail rocker for your tipriding delight, and only $600 to boot! Sadly, the east bay has no place for me ;(

Nothing fresh to offer, just some photos from before I knew anything about taking photos.  I visited a tiny remote volcanic island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with some friends during my studies in Chile.  Upon request, I brought horse medicine from the mainland for a local. He lived by himself on the opposite side of the island, so Mikey & I borrowed bikes and rode through a lava minefield for a grueling 2 hours to get there. He was STOKED to say the least, and the next day he took me on a dawn-to-dusk horseback tour of the entire island, seeing the island from every vantage point possible.  There was no such thing as “no trespassing”. I laid prostrate the entire next day, sore and sunburned, as I hadn’t ridden a horse in years.  Rapa Nui (Easter Island / Isla de Pascua), 2005.

Something to take your mind off the impending rapture.

I’m downsizing my holdings due to an impending move, and today I sold my ‘74 Schwinn tandem.  Many memories on this fly lady, such nice lines…a sad day indeed.

aha, aha!

Ilford HP5 Plus 400

After getting bombarded by podlets of sleet on a strangely hued day, I am reminded of how special winter is…especially a late  winter while we are saving our daylight.  I finally got my film back (and some severe sticker shock…$28 for 36 exposures!…definitely time to find a darkroom.).
