Watering flowers
in front of a flower store she owns
on Second Avenue
in downtown Long Beach. I walked
by her, listening to the ecstatic music
of the great Srevie Wonder in my
iPod, and saw her, and turned
around, staring at her. She noticed
me looking, and I didn't know if I
made her uncomfortable or not,
and hoped I didn't. I approached her (after pausing the music),
and said, "You saw me staring at you -
I'm taking photos of great looking
people in Long Beach today,
and you really look great." She smiled brightly and sweetly, and asked,
"How great?"
I said, "Especially great." I asked to take her photo, and she said yes and whipped off her glasses. I told her the glasses looked good, and she immediately put them back on. I took a couple of photos and thanked her,
and she said, "No, thank YOU. In fact, you've made my day."

we visited an aunt and uncle of odin's this evening and they had some pictures of their son, mitchel, who looks like he could have been odin's twin brother. the picture of mitchel was taken when he was around a month old which is only a couple of weeks older than odin is now ( speaking in age adjusted terms of course ).
odin's shirt was made by his grandma salmi. sisu is a finnish word that means "stamina, perserverance, courage, and determination held in reserve for hard times", which we think is a perfect motto for little odin.
odin just ate so he's quite sleepy.

We finished the race in second place as a team and were ranked as top Asians overall. Sounds impressive, but I've never been more humbled by a race and learnt so much about the human spirit.

At a gas station
in Long Beach,
he was filling up the tank
of his old wine-dark Caballero.
When I asked to take his portrait,
he was very suspicious, and suggested
I would use his photo and put it on
a false I.D. Then he asked to see my
driver's license, which I promptly
showed him, and assured him
I wouldn't use his photo in that fashion. He said, "I guess I would need to
trust you then."
I said, yes, it would require some measure of trust.
He then asked what kind of car
I was driving, and I pointed to my
green-blue Volvo parked nearby.
He smiled and said, "Anyone who
drives a Volvo is someone I can
trust." I laughed, and aimed my
camera.
"What do you want me to do?" he asked, his eyes unfortunately
cloaked in the shadow from his
cap. I said, "Just look at me,
and smile, if you want to." He did.
Then he told me his name,
and spelled it for me, to make sure
I got it right. And I did.
When I got in my car,
my radio tuned into NPR,
the very first thing I heard
was a news report about
the widespread occurence
of identity theft in America.
I reflected on Ralph's consternation
about this very issue, and about
the dark irony of so many people
worrying, with good reason, about identity theft, in such
close, even intimate, proximity
to people like Herb, pictured herein,
and Stu, both of whom were homeless
just yards from Ralph's concern,
and who sadly
have no real identity to steal.

Over a million emaciates left Ireland during the Great Famine. Now, they are commemorated at Custom House Quay as if they, and all their earthly possessions, are bound for the departing steamer.
Famine' (1997) was commissioned by Norma Smurfit and presented to the City of Dublin in 1997. The sculpture is a commemorative work dedicated to those Irish people forced to emigrate during the 19th century Irish Famine. The bronze sculptures were designed and crafted by Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie and are located on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands.
This location is a particularly appropriate and historic as one of the first voyages of the Famine period was on the 'Perserverance' which sailed from Custom House Quay on St. Patrick's Day 1846. Captain William Scott, a native of the Shetland Isles, was a veteran of the Atlantic crossing, gave up his office job in New Brunswick to take the 'Perserverance' out of Dublin. He was 74 years old. The Steerage fare on the ship was £3 and 210 passengers made the historical journey. They landed in New York on the 18th May 1846. All passengers and crew survived the journey.
In June 2007, a second series of famine sculptures by Rowan Gillespie, was unveiled by President Mary McAleese on the quayside in Toronto's Ireland Park to remember the arrival of these refugees in Canada.

Koi Tattoos
According to Japanese legend if a koi succeeded in climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate on the Yellow River it would be transformed into a dragon. Based on that legend, it became a symbol of worldly aspiration and advancement.
More generally, the Japanese associate koi (also known as carp) with perserverance in adversity and strength of purpose. Because of its strength and determination to overcome obstacles, it stands for courage and the ability to attain high goals.

i feel comfortable enough in saying that this song is recognised by mostly every person in the free world. and i would bet quite a few people in controlled areas, also. most anybody who has heard it must by now know the story behind the lyrics. but if one listens and analyzes it a bit, there are much deeper meanings that can be construed. of life, of war, of winning battles beyond your control; perserverance. metaphors abound. so on this day of rememberance i offer the deepest Purple of all... youtu.be/arpZ3fCwDEw

Desmonde is a girl I know from derby. She no longer plays roller derby but seems to lead a life that reflects the perserverance and agression that is required in the sport.
Desmonde is a smart smart girl who cares about others. To me the combination is rare and pleasing. I am happy to know her and happy that she is doing what she wants/needs/loves.

In a wheelchair,
homeless,
at a busy intersection in Long Beach.
He was wearing dark shades,
and when I approached him, he put up his hands as if to keep me away. I stopped in my tracks, and said I was a friend. He smiled, and beckoned me to come closer. We spoke for awhile - he said things were not going well,
and that he had been "kicked off the island," and wasn't allowed to display his sign asking for money. When I asked to take his photos, he took off his shades, told me to get the
wheelchair in the photo, which I didn't, as I am more interested in faces than wheelchairs. When I asked him his name, he said, "Herb. You know - like herb," and then pantomimed the motion of smoking a joint, and we both laughed.

Homeless
in Long Beach, he
had a sign he flashed at
traffic at the intersection of the
Pacific Coast Highway
and Second Avenue,
which said,
"Homeless,
hungry,
help please."
We followed this lady for a good 5 blocks or so. I don't know why but she kept biking on that rim instead of just walking the bike.
Hardcore.
A bit ago I saw a photo of a friend's fabulous light and thought, "Wow that's so cool!" So when I saw such lamps for sale on the streets of Venice I picked one up and brought it home. This thing started as 30 plastic pieces that had to be assembled. It took patience and perserverance, but I got it done. And then I even got out to the lighting store to get the parts to put together the fixture inside. I look at it and I feel a real sense of accomplishment.
Mary Jemison was a white woman taken captive by the Seneca Indians at the age of 15. She lived 78 years of her life as a captive and eventually an adopted member of the Senecas, during which time she became the wife of Chief Hiokatoo, and gained great influence in their councils.
Mary Jemison spent nearly 80 years of her life as a white woman amongst the Seneca Indians. Her strength and ability to survive and adopt to not only the ways of the Senecas - but also the harsh reality of a changing and unstable frontier lifestyle - earner her the title "The White Woman of the Genesee". Additionally, in 1823 "The Life and Times of Mrs. Mary Jemison" was published, preserving and celebrating the story of her life with the Senecas Indians.
It was her amazing story of survival and perserverance which captured the heart of William P. Letchworth. As a result, the Jamison Cabin and her remains were brought to what is now Letchworth State Park and commemorated as a testament to her historical significance to Genesee Valley Region.
