One Fare



Every now and then a few things in life bring back nostalgic feelings. Recently I found a Polaroid picture of my sister and I dated back about ten years. Days when I was playing sports and being a "free spirit". A decade later one of my friends walks in to my life and brings me two tokens. One, is a New York Transit fare token and the other is a Chicago Transit token. Now, if there is anything that can bring back the feeling of nostalgia it's definitely these tokens. There are only a few people in life who can truly be called friends and we know that all too well. My friend remembered about my rambling rants of possibly one day traveling to New York just to ride the trains if nothing else. Remembered my random nights of boredom when I rode buses and trains around Chicago to discover new possibilities on my own. Many called me crazy but its like anything else your gender can't stop you from doing things you want and can do. It's all a society made up issue. Just wanted to share this with my all too awesome followers and friends....

The Road Again

This weekend's getaway was a blast with the girls. The sunset was the best I've seen in months. I knew it would be great and seem like a short time out but I definitely had a chance to goof around with photography and lighting which is by far one of my favorite things in photo. I can always enjoy laid back company who is up for whatever adventure lies ahead and plenty peanut butter and jelly sandwiches like the good old road traveling days.

I'm usually the last one, which is not too bad.

Art and the CIA

Thought this was a bit interesting if nothing else....

"For decades in art circles it was either a rumour or a joke, but now it is confirmed as a fact. The Central Intelligence Agency used American modern art - including the works of such artists as Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko - as a weapon in the Cold War. In the manner of a Renaissance prince - except that it acted secretly - the CIA fostered and promoted American Abstract Expressionist painting around the world for more than 20 years."

(Insert catagory here) of the Month....

This month thousands of Turkeys get sacrificed to make millions happy and belly filled. Heres a fellow who got smashed on his way to work. Great choice of tie for a tragic day. Anyway, here's a quick look at random images I was either forwarded or I encountered.

OCTOBER ROADKILL I thought this was pretty cynical



And this of course is the FORWARD OF THE MONTH

"...You know I've got your back like chiroprac......tic!"
