You might see me as dull, but a weathered personality hints at a colorful background. Dust fills my deep crevices and I am […]
Coachella Art and Music Festival 2009
Published April 21st, 2009 in art, events and music. 4 CommentsThe sun pinched and dust scratched as we sat in the middle of a swarming parking lot.

Our village radiates with beauty. It swells with interesting sites and buzzes like a productive beehive. Flowers blossom with colors as alive as a glowing flower field and juxtapositions dance like an awkward couple destined for happiness. Each site provokes a thought, each encounter an emotion and each conversation a friendship. A walk down Grand […]

Carlsbad 5000: our eyes to yours
Published April 5th, 2009 in events, photography and rambles. ClosedThe village awoke early as feeble fences stretched under shady trees, over mellow hills and along our wind blown ocean.

The sun watched as coffee brewed and the day’s cloud was no more than a tumbling puff of dust […]
