OK so last week I spent an a few hours in the National Portrait Gallery. So interesting. On display was a series of up close( my fav) portraits (never tried) in black and white. So very cool. I was inspired to stretch my photo abilities and will try to do so in the future. Also on exhibit was a series of color portraits where all the peeps are looking not at the camera, but off to the side. My first and lasting reaction was...creepy peeps. They just didn 't look " normal". Whatever normal is. ANYWAY......... as I was leaving I was in this portrait gallery high and was stunned to see this scene on the side walk. The pic does not do it justice. There were hundrends of wads of gum on the sidewalk. As far as the eye could see. I thought of Singapore and how nice it would be to have the no gum rule. I thought of people who are too lazy to find a trash can. I thought of the complete degradation of society and the people in it in this 21st century. It made me sad. Then I thought of the beauty I just absorbed and reveled in. We are going to be OK.

BACKLOG BLOG...
A week at the beach was not enough. I need some more of this wave watching. I find it to be very calming.
It is always ten of eight - somewhere!
Creepy snake bones!
What does this picture evoke in you? In me, sadness. The lonely sea shell so close but yet so far away from a sea full of friends. That shell was me this summer. Monday, June 22, 2009

ROLLING THUNDER FACES...
The face of innocence at the end of the day
Almost too severe in color. I like it better below.
Love the reflection in his shades.
The somber look on this man made me want to cry.
