Gypsy

Me, roaming the department stores looking at all the nice things I cannot afford. And no, I am really not 'butchy' looking but this picture posted I could not resist.

And me, playing around. Picture taken in a tinted car window.

Rest

I am tired right now, and I haven't got anything new to post. I guess that goes without saying what with the date stamps and all. Maybe I'll post some recent stuff.

Thank you to all those who expressed their glee over some of these pics; the exhange has a lot of meaning to me. I have some technical questions for two of you at some point.

Maui

Another of Maui - these should be clicked-to-enlarge - well I think they should be enlarged, but then again, he's my cat and I am biased. ;)


The world according to Maui
While I am constructing a brand new, home-made pinhole camera, I'll post some images of me and my cat. Here are two of my cat, Maui.

Redemption after banking lines

Today, on my way home from the bank the sky broke open, so I pulled my car over in the no stopping zone, and clicked. The sky here in southern ca is ridiculously gorgeous today.

Untitled

A close up of my favorite tree; I think she's a Birch or a Sycamore. I know I should know that info, but I don't. Whatever she is she's been very good to me, and I believe she loves me back.

Nothing new to Post

I've nothing new to post other than some photos of the fire here in Orange County. So far I've not heard anything about how it started. Rather than post them here, all over again, I've given them their own page.

Fire Photos

In the meantime I have been busy working. And putting small chunks away for a new camera. I can almost taste a new camera, feel it in my hands; I can smell it. I can almost feel my confusion as I try figuring out its mechanism. I might even attempt to eat it. When I get it I am going to sleep next to it, even if that means booting my beloved cat out of the bed. Priorites you know.

Also; to a certain someone: no, I was not mocking in the least. Put that down on record.

I decided to post one picture taken on my way to work the other day.

Update

I have moved my photosite to my old address at ghostofgypsy.com so please head there for my latest practice round. I apologize for any confusion.













"Flip The Hourglass Over"

David John's

I ran across David John's blog several months ago, and being a lurker, lurked for weeks on end. I am no longer a lurker. I'm a fan of his work.

Watch with me as he grows and succeeds. Much success and prosperity to this artist. And all of us.

God I need an Ambien

Front yard.

I almost seems that a person cannot get a single shot in the state of (southern) California without a palm tree being present.

They're everywhere; like ants. The leaves of this palm seem like paper, almost surreal. In person, the leaves also seem like paper.

Photo Dump

Laguna Beach

The sky washed out. I didn't realize that this man's head was there. Or his car.

Marcus: a gypsy from Laguna Beach, lives out on the street, smokes Marlborro reds, loves to smile, tells a wicked joke (yes I actually laughed out loud), loves jesus. Tolerated me and my camera.

I am bored.

Blah Blah Blah

A day of blah. Internet down, camera acting up, eyes blurry, temper flailing. I went to a cemetery to get some shots. There were people sitting in chairs next to their deceased love ones graves which were decorated with flowers. I just couldn't. I will go back again this week when I can be alone with the dead.

This shot was unclear and grainy so I edited it for effect.

I found a cross at the cemetery sitting under a group of trees—the sun was just perfect. Behind me were a group of maintainence people, directly ahead a group of Navy men walking across the lawn to get to the chapel to pay their last respects to their deceased one; it wasn't my day to be with the dead.

The days have been beautiful, distracting.

Now I am supposed to format this thing so it looks different from everyone else's blog?

I
don't
think
so ..

The second to last thing I need is another web page—the very last thing I need is a blog—but since I don't know php I have no other way to hear from 0thers.

If you're here and you've seen my weird photographs and you have any tips, suggestions, constructive criticism—please note use of adjective: constructive—or thoughts, please post a comment.

Well I think that's about it.

the love of my life, rolling
