I would like to take you out
For a nice steak dinner
Just me and you

If I was younger then
Would I have been her friend
It's such a miracle
How life comes back around again

In the witching hour
When all the world goes??
I turn to you my love
My one and only midnight love
Midnight lover...

OMG, first photo in a gallery

In the LACDA in Downtown LA,
"Seek the Hideaway," for the time being, is there to stay.
Never imagined seeing a work of mine up for the public to see,
thousands of eyes are now staring at me.
Friends and family came to support the photograph on the galleries opening night,
so that everyone could see the marvelous sight.

kudos to all who came out to support

Cowboys and Indians are partying

There is some cowboys and indians out on the loose,

to party it up and drink that Joose.

Out for a night of fun,

but beware indians of the cowboys' gun.

Kudos for inspiration:

Too bad house parties aren't like this anymore,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFSyBBglmpI

but still some good jams for a Friday night,
like Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpbrAWNZutM

"Pictures of last night ended up online"- Last Friday Night (TGIF)

it was a MONSTER MASH

The most extreme monsters were out on October 31, 2010.
Some Lady CACA,

then some fat lovin,

and a shy piece of toast

in the midst of some red jam

and the future is coming,

but not until the naked man sings.


Kudos for inspiration:

meat the past...

The red rawness of meat caused the black and blue pain I had to see.
The past one longs to forget seems to remain in a simple meal.
Steak is what I eat, sorrow is what I felt.

(This was a photo assignment I was supposed to do for class using lighting and film and none came out, only these few on my digital...)

Kudos for inspiration:



It wasn't just hurting one person, but more, so it was time to "stop hurting us."

Not upon me, but amongst the one person I love more than anyone.

one word, karma...

Come out, come out wherever you are...

I will find you. I am a voyeur.

happiness in the eyes of many...

Seeing a best friend strive towards her goal is the most touching feeling yet,

especially when you know they are pushing their hardest for a job well done.

The craziness of home is in her past

and the mindset of her future is what will last.

Striving to get out in this world unknown,

her transformation will soon be full grown.

Obstacles arise both vertical and horizontal,

but passion, pride and encouragement will push her along just fine.

Dedicated to Vanessa Troy-Carlton, an airman and a best friend.

Miss you girl, come home soon.

Kudos for inspiration:

Her favorite song by John Legend "Everybody Knows"

and

a jodi,

I don't want no teenage queen.
I just want my M-14.
If I die in the combat zone.
Box me up and ship me home.
Pin my medals upon my chest.
Tell my mom I've done my best.

baby Buddhas' belly

In this peaceful temple

where mini-Buddhas stretch

and engage in poses

there is a sort of peacefulness.
