Beaker got a light bath from the late afternoon sun streaming through the window on his way to his cage on his stick. He liked the light bath, but he wasn’t so sure about the camera.
On my way home from having a computer tested at the Apple Store, I drove by a group of women in bikinis standing on the sidewalk holding up signs for a carwash. I made a quick U-turn, parked and got the low-down on the charity carwash ABQ-Live The Magazine was holding to raise money for the Lymphoma and Leukemia Foundation. A group of professional models were doing a great job attracting people to the event. Menaul Blvd is not the prettiest street in Albuquerque, and the light at 1:00 pm was direct and harsh, but the models were great, and I managed to get a nice set of photos of three of the beautiful women working the event. Since the model wearing cut-offs wasn’t holding a sign, she did a little extra modeling for the camera.
Spunk has taken to killing napkins, making the world a safer place one napkin at a time, bet he also leaves napkin carcasses strewn all over the floor. Is it art? I finally had to retire the printout of a spreadsheet I was using as a placemat on my desk at the office after it got enough coffee dribbles and tears that I couldn’t read the various notes and phone numbers I had scribbled on it. After Bruce and I decided it was too artsy for the trash can, I hung on the wall where a picture frame once hung. While most people don’t even notice it, it’s been a toss up among the people who have noticed it whether or not it’s art. After my boss finally noticed it he asked me why I had a piece of trash hanging on the wall. Sean suggested I clip the dollar bill to it. Other people have said “Hmmm! But is it art?”
I painted the outside of the darkroom and put up shelves for storage of the remaining equipment and supplies that are still in the dance room. There are three photos of the darkroom with a view from the top of the step, a view from floor level and a fisheye view just for fun. In-between the photos of the darkroom, I have a photo of our sunflower forest, and a photo of Veteran’s Honor with grasses, our black bamboo forest and trees behind it.
