Holy Patagonia!

I LOVE Argentina, It’s probably one of my favorite places on the planet. When I lived there for a year, I never got the chance to go to Patagonia due to having to be present to care for my diabetic dog every day. I lived in Buenos Aires and saw much of the city walking and taking photos, I took trains to its outskirts and occasionally went to Uruguay for an afternoon but never wandered too far. Javier Vázquez submitted these photos to the group to remind me that I need to one day return and travel Argentina as I am the US now.

Lines and lines and lines

I never get tired photos of sky and power lines. This photo was taken by one of my favorite lomographers, Gerhard Bandiola, in the Philippines.

The Last Unicorn

I hope that everyone has seen Legend. If not, go out now and buy it now. It’s a story of demons and unicorns and the concequeces of there being no more unicorns. It’s not as corny as it sounds, it even has Tim Curry and Tom Cruise, when he was about 19 years old. This place reminds me of a place the unicorns in that film might get a drink.

Haunted Mountain

Roots and Trees

On a hike in Tennessee recently, we came across many overturned trees with roots sometimes as high as 15 feet – a wall of rocks, roots and earth overturned by the tragic death of some mighty tree. Every size of overturned tree roots was as spooky as the next though, and with the dense forest behind it, holding secrets and lies like only a forest can, I suspected that the tree had not died alone but among an ageless forest of peers who would one day suffer the same fate. The dead tree and roots however are an intricate part of the ecosystem, providing homes for countless insects and creatures. The cycle goes on, the forest keeps its secrets.

Beware of the Dog, and the Voodoo Priestess

New Orleans, 2010. Beware of the Dog

We lived in New Orleans for about 4 months last Summer. It was hot, humid and awesome. Our neighbourhood wasn’t that interesting but when we walked around downtown or the east side of it. In the Marigny area of central New Orleans, there were great old Victorian houses that had stood the time and storms of the region. At one, was this great gate covered voodoo decor, a Hatian license plate and beware of the dog sign. Perhaps they wanted people to beware of more than their dog. Classic NOLA.

Double Trouble, The Blue Ribbon Tea Company and Sloss Furnaces

The Blue Ribbon Tea Company are some good friends of mine and a great show to see. I've seen them several times and have all their albums naturally and this show was one in my then hometown of Portland Oregon at a small local cafe. Their music is modern folk, featuring 2 very talented musicians and vocalists strumming and fiddling story telling songs to keep your ears alert. Definitely not background music. Sloss Furnace however is about 3000 miles away from there in Birmingham Alabama. I was not sure, as usual, what was actually on the film when I took the photo but as usual, it worked out to my satisfaction. Members of The Blue Ribbon Tea Company are from the south, and their rustic reminiscent music, that often references the south, seem to go perfect with the historic Sloss Furnaces. Check out The Blue Ribbon Tea Company here and see more Sloss Furnaces here!

Canoeing In Georgia

Nothing like taking your camera somewhere where it could be destroyed or lost in a second. I dropped my video camera in the river on this trip while trying to avoid some branches. I have only dropped my Holga once when it fell out of my backpack on a trip to Montana at the train station but it didn’t break. It smashed onto the tiles, back flew off, film went flying and the rest of the camera came into several parts but was luckily easy to put together. The film however was ruined sadly.
