Pussy Willow #7. Elk Grove, Illinois

Shot in my beloved Busse Woods over the Easter holiday. Spent much of my impressionable youth wandering around out there.

A little slow on my post honoring "Record Store Day." Hope everyone is celebrating old school-style. This image was created using an elaborate camera rig I labored over for a several weeks--Guess it didn't have to be made in part of cocobolo wood. The rig is designed to allow precise camera movement and ultimately the combining of several images to make one really big one. This one is 15000 pixels tall for you photo geeks. Planning on turning it into a resin covered table top.

Big wet kitty. Keenesburg, Colorado

The Wild Animal Sanctuary, about 60 miles out of Denver is an incredible place. Quite surreal to see majestic critters like this guy roaming the grassy Colorado plains.

Rush Hour in the Medina. Marrakesh, Morocco

The morning is my favorite time. Love seeing a place and its people coming to life. Touristy places are less touristy. The locals are often more tolerant before they're resaturated with us.

Morocman. Fes, Morocco

Nobody wants to have their picture taken in Morocco. Nobody seems to want pictures of anything taken in Morocco. This nice man kissed the cash I gave him. 5 shots in 3 seconds. He became increasingly uncomfortable--visible tension in his hands and face. At 4 seconds, the locals abruptly escorted me from the area.

Boa. eyecandy

The latest piece of  eyecandy. Among the favs at Denver opening. Classic candy fashion. Clearly an outlier--Breaks the anonymity precedent. Set out to create a cotton candy beehive hairdo. Believe you me, it's hard to make one of those look beautiful.

Oasis. Skoura, Morocco

Bonafide. Surrounded by high desert in all directions, natural springs feed a beautiful palm forest. True sand castles, or kasbahs are hidden within. Go there--Ask for Soufiane.
