Black Magick Woman.*

a golden find from daniella, and then our beloved fleetwood mac. if anyone has this album lying around, i will totally buy it from you. the hunt is on.*

Shimla.*

one more from my chiru. somehow i passed this one over and its totally my favorite!

beautiful losers: dash snow.*

people tend to be very opinionated when it comes to dash snow. some glorify, other criticize. ian knew him in ny and was really sad when he passed this summer....just like kurt in so many ways (collages, heroin overdose, leaving behind a wife and daughter, blonde and gorgeous...). but i can relate, so i can't judge. beautiful man, beautiful lust for life.*

Engaged Observers Show.*

this was a GREAT show. i highly recommend it to anyone living in LA. if you don't live near, at least check them out on the web. great photo history. in addition to the amazing photographers listed below, susan meiselas, lauren greenfield, larry towell, w. eugene and aileen m. smith, and phillip jones griffith have work in this show.*


New Orleans, Leonard Freed, 1965



The Sacrifice, James Nachtwey, 2006-7



Church Gate Station, Western railroad Line, Bombay, India, Sebastiao Salgado, 2009



"Rat" and Mike With a Gun, Seattle, Mary Ellen Mark, 1983

Back in the Day When We Partied in the Bay.*

i didn't get to go to sf pride this past year, and as i was looking through old photos, i found these from way back when. i'm not gay, but man, do gay people know how to par-tay.*

San Diego Flashbacks.*

i also came across this picture that i took while ago in san diego for the last 4th of july extravaganza. this was 3 years ago, and now we are definitely dedicating every 4th to the res and its magic. while being driven by a drunken rudy through san diego, we came across a bum who decided it would be a lovely idea to flash us his scabies-ridden ass and ballsack. we ended up giving him a tecate in exchange for his sign, and then trying the sign out ourselves. san diego never disappoints.*
