Nikki Nugget Nov 2012
Some impromptu photos of my friend Nikki. These lyrics came to mind while I was editing the photos… “Now that she’s back in the atmosphere with drops of Jupiter in her hair…”
afternoon delight
If I had a wife or a girlfriend living with me, we’d never get away with this. When I saw you at the grocery store last night, I wasn’t expecting to meet you. I hadn’t even thought of you… but, then, there you were… I just KNEW that I had to take you home with […]
a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam
Every now and then, humanity is visited by someone that has a vision and a voice that transcends science, religion, politics and culture, making every human difference seem moot. Carl Sagan was such a man. Every time I hear this, I am moved by something much larger than me; filled with
wake the f#&% up! (but in a really nice way)
