All the really cool stuff seems to occur in the western sky… thought for a moment last night that the funnel center right was actually a tornado, but no, just very concentrated rain. The water, unable to resist falling heavily from the clouds, is almost as pretty as the color… which of course I cannot [...]

I finished Velociman’s book yesterday. It comes off as vaguely autobiographical, so I’d love to see an author Q&A sometime in the near future. Here’s my take… Often crude and frequently funny, A Trip of Goats is about the human condition, in all its humble glory and pathetic excess, seen through the eyes of an [...]

New plumeria blooms are sometimes very curly and infused with color, while others are mostly white. These, of course, are of the first variety. The rain had just stopped and the sun was glaring, true… but there was just something about them that compelled me to shoot, anyway. …which is why I’ll never be a [...]

Even though I didn’t know what to expect from this weekend I lept to my own conclusions about YsD’s boyfriend like a frog with a firecracker up its butt. Almost none of my assumptions proved correct. She met J in her old apartment building, which means he exists in roughly the same universe she does… [...]
