pinkocomyskull894032.jpgAhhh sweet october. If the changing of the leaves, a crisp autumn wind and the thought of snow didnt make me anxious, well, I am not sure what it is.  Come on, of course it is the thought of snow!  How can the ones that slide and make it part of their lives not get filled with anticipation? Once again! Come on!  I am so stoked for the season! It’s like I am 12 and pops gives me my first Rosi’s. Rosi Stratos from back in the day, do the math. Loved those things, think I slept with them once or twice, kinda forget. So many visions of snow. Love that ……..  Hope your stoked as I, if not may you endure well and try to savor a bit of the winter beauty that is. In particular the Whistler Way!Just did some super coooool pieces for the B-Grade Horror Fest Art Show, alas, I can only show you one picture.

Another great shot of our lovely hotel in Aberdeen, not Scotland.

p1180153.JPGYeah, this is another misconceiving photo of our not so wonderful hotel. sorry, looks can be deceiving.

Pooday, not Tuesday, hahaha.

dsc_3341.JPGHello again, I dont mean to be rude, I just cant help myself sometimes.  It seems in a world so wrote with rudeness that it is pretty easy to catch oneself being the same thing that they dont wanna represent, then, theres those that just dont give a shit.  Those are the ones that just make it difficult for everyone else.  Case in point, a recent very shitty hotel that we stayed in.  They obviously dont care about anything but the money, ohh well.  Because they dont care, I dont care and will tell you there name, it is the Trave-Lure, gotta hate the name right away.  They are in Aberdeen, Washington.  It was the second worst motel ever, eclipsing the first place winner with not only its dirty-ness, but the wild antics of its live in residences.  jeez. I have stayed in one hotel/motel worse but, it was not as wild as the Trave-lures people.  There you go.

Cool wall in a small town.

Aberdeen, WashingtonThe wife and little one had recently decided to take a little road trip down south, Washington and Oregon.  We had our first stop in Aberdeen, Washington were we walked around in the grey and ate some great mexi food for breakfast!!!! Yeah fish tacos for breakfast!! Neat town, wish I could have stayed longer to shoot, ohh wel, thats usually my story. enjoy more shots coming. cheers.  The shot was done with my great little Lens Baby, its soooo great.
