LEONARD, the creator of the monument to universal love (see last link) .
BILLY, the one thumbed, one lunged, gold panning vietnam vet .
the next generation of the desert.

just letting my mind fly, trying to catch the ideas as they float by .
if i bury this message deep into the wet earth
maybe, somehow,
it will reach you .
you’ll feel it course through you,
it will enter at your feet
and perhaps dance around your toes .
save me
yesterday, i shot the ever-lovely BUNNY HOLIDAY for an upcoming project.
the location of the shoot was populated with so many incredible statues + pieces of art, we couldn’t help but divert our focus for a short while to snap a few polaroids.
for the inquisitive type
street peepers
a secret embrace
something dangerous
wrong, dirty, yet enlightening,
a beacon of excitement in a monotonous world .
yet one tires so quickly,
only a temporary escape from uniformity was the true desire .
no real courage to face something different .
i don’t tempt .
you are just drawn .
and once you draw me in,
the allure for you is gone .
