Sunset

Sunset in Long Beach after the storm.

I give this at 7 out of 10.

Pumkin death

Twas something I carved for Halloween.
Twas more than a month ago.
It could not travel through time.

You'll want to, it's flying.

You went to the Matterhorn

You're like, "wow, this is a great photo."

You think adding captions in the second person point of view to photos is not tacky and stupid, but cool and smart.

Or not.

You went to Iran two years ago

Picture One

You see a couple barely holding hands, walking to their small apartment lugging a tank of propane. Your tummy rumbles and you know a big lunch is going to be made. A:If you plan to follow them to their home, in hopes to be offered Persian Tea and food, go to Picture Four. B: If you plan to find the shop that sell's Adidas IN IRAN go to Picture Three.  

Picture Two

You walk across the street, barely missing a car, but you're used to that now, being in Iran for a month, five year olds do that all the time-they'd kick your ass in frogger. You ask the stylish teenager in blue for directions to the Mall. He says something about you needing to wait for the next installment of, "You went to Iran Two years ago."

Picture Three

You can't find the Adidas shop, because you don't know where downtown Shiraz is,  so you just stare at the man staring at himself. A: You decide to mooch off the couple of with the propane tank for a cup of Tea, go to Picture Four. B: You stare at the man longer, hoping that he'd turn around eventually so you could ask him directions to the mall so you can buy Adidas in Iran-plus you need to pee and you know malls usually have bathrooms, though you know you're not going to poop because in the middle-east they don't have toilets but porcelain holes in the ground that you just hover over and aim with your butt or or the other thing and hope for the best. It's kinda nice not using that paper cover you unfold then awkwardly try to rip out the middle piece so you have a doughnut shaped paper to keep your ass from touching the dirty looking toilet seat back in America...but still. The mirror man pointed over his shoulder, towards a teen in a blue sweater. Go to Picture Two.    

Picture Four

You find the Persian couple and they offer you tea and of course you can never say no in Iran because they take offence.
They don't have sugar. They panic. They ask you to go to the store to buy some-they're not serving lunch till they've had their sweetened tea. To buy them sugar, wait for the next installation of "You went to Iran two years ago" 

Alley in the middle east.

Blah blah blah sandy blah

This Alley was shot in Iran, 2009. Allah's Alley, that's what they should name it. No, a bowling place! They should call that Allah's Alley, but only in Iran.

Homeless Man in LA

This man knows how to stay anonymous.

Ugh, I feel dirty posting this photo and writing that caption.

Dirty in I feel bad for this man and his place in life, not because dirty people are homeless...that would be insensitive.

Do socialists have homeless people?

Government funded homeless shelters would be great. I can't believe we don't have those in the US.
  

I'd like a color scheme and template that doesn't suck. I'll have to write one from scratch. I'll be doing that instead of updating my blog with content. So...it'll be awhile. The 5 people who read this will survive.

The Renaissance Fair

You ever been to the Renaissance Fair? 

Some photos from a recent 'renfair' at Irwindale, CA. Enjoy.

Oh, they're all clickable for a big photo. 

If you're in a room with people you should yell,

"Abracadabra!" right before you click a photo.

People will think you're a Wizard.

  
     More photos after the jump! 

At the gym.

I saw this girl at the gym, next to me on a treadmill, and thought it was a girl I knew from college, let's call her Sarah Marisa. I waved and she smiled and said, "Hi, I've seen you here before," and in my head I was thinking: Oh crap, that's not her, it's a complete stranger who apparently looks at me a lot at the gym. I awkwardly replied, "Yeah...hehehe...good times?...The gym! Nice seeing you?" I was on the mechanical jogging simulator for another 20 minutes, turning my head in every direct that wasn't towards hers, like a chicken.

Turtle Much?

Baby from the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland.

I feel like I can connect with this kid, I bet he's thinking, "What the hell is this?

I poop in a diaper. That's so weird. Where am? OMG HIPPO NOOO!"

Good kid.

Vegas

Here is a photo I shot with my D80 and my 18-200mm VR lens. It's an HDR, so it's a composite of 3 photos at different exposure compensations.

OMG, my coffee is racist.

 KKK get out of my coffee!

Disneyland

los altos market place

Such a silly tree.

A week is too long.

I wonder what her story is. A smoker. With a family? Grand kids? Single maybe, I wonder if she enjoys batman.

Sears Monster!

I was walking in Long Beach and saw this monster next to Sears. I thought I'd share it with you...Wait...I mean I'd thought I share it with me.

The total worth of your lego house is greater than the total sum of each individual bricks added together.

That's something everyone can understand.

Now the thing is I don't have a lego house and I don't know much about legos.

I do know a lot about Star Wars legos.

And Pringles. And that there are many errors and rough edges in life. I hope you have an eraser and a calm productive zen about you...cause it's good for keeping up with doing stuff in contrast to not doing stuff.

Naps are nice. Nap time for this typist.
