This abandoned building in downtown El Paso. Texas was originally a Hilton Hotel. After the depression this was the only hotel that Conrad Hilton had left. (btw Conrad Hilton was born in New Mexico)
Elizabeth Taylor did stay here; I believe it was during her honeymoon with Nicky Hilton or it could have been when she went to Juarez to divorce Nicky Hilton.
“When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black and white, you photograph their souls!”
I saw this on a friend's stream yesterday, and as I had the day off work and the sun was shining, I went out with my camera. This is on London's South Bank
Derby Day
Rockport, MA
With guest photographer, and favorite 5-year-old, Simon. He's pretty good, eh? Please note inclusion of seagull on roof behind me.
Simon's dad is a native Kentuckian, so we Derby it up on Derby Day, complete with sweet tea, Benedictine finger sandwiches, Derby pie and of course, plenty of Mint Juleps. See my fancy plastic jockey hat? A fine day all around. My pick for horses, Pants on Fire, did not win but made a strong effort toward the end. Pants on Fire still wins the Kentucky Derby, in my book, for best name.
The only other thing I have to report from last week is: Allergies. Full force. (Please note red eyeballs). No comment. If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.

Elizabeth Taylor was once dubbed the most beautiful woman in the world. It's not hard to see why in this lovely photo of her. I merged it with one of my water lily shots, and the two seem to play off each other beautifully!
This reminds me of something that happened to me in 1984. I married a man I'd been in love with for six years. It was a doomed marriage, and everything started off on the wrong foot, right down to the wedding photos, which the photographer didn't do a very good job of.
I had asked for several double exposures, since I'd seen many that were absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately, he wasn't very experienced at them, I guess, and I only got one, which left something to be desired. I was disappointed, which is one reason I'll never do wedding photos for a living. I would never want the responsibility of capturing a once in a lifetime moment and possibly botching it up!
Looking at these layered photos, I know that I could take my old wedding photos and possibly superimpose them together, or add a seascape, or something interesting to them, and I might do that one of these days. My ex never got copies, and I don't know if he'd want them or not, but as far as I'm concerned, he could have the originals if I could create something better out of them for myself.
Anyway, I've been wanting to do this sort of thing for a long time now, and I'm so happy that I've stumbled upon a site where I could do it!
The face on this Elizabeth Taylor doll is breathtakingly beautiful and uncannily looks just as Liz Taylor looked at that age. Mattel really did a super job in recreating her face.
This doll is from the classic and very funny movie “Father of the Bride” staring Elizabeth Taylor and Spencer Tracy.
She was released in 2000 and is part of the Timeless Treasures Collection, Celebrity Dolls by Mattel.
I am going through all my dolls and trying to make a call on which to keep and which to sell. Very hard to do.
But, you know, everything in life has a purpose and if that purpose is not fulfilled, I feel it goes against Universal Law. And, this beautiful doll’s purpose is not to be shut in a dark temp controlled closet until I die and then disposed of as my heirs see fit.
