Happy weekend to all!!
My friend from Miami was getting married right after our college graduation - so a number of our friends were invited to their "surprise" wedding, planned by the parents of the prospective bride and groom. We were basically told to assemble at their house in Dade County and to expect to spend 3 days on this experience.
I was still in DC at the time, living in my run-down student group house with seven of my male and female friends. My friend Wendy and I decided to road trip all the way down to the tip of Florida. I didn't have a driver's license at the time, so she did all the driving and I tried best to keep her entertained. Wendy was obsessed with the soundtrack from Jesus Christ Superstar, so we listened (and sung along) to that tape over and over. She was driving, so I had no choice.
We got to our friend's house where we boarded a tour bus. No one knew where we were being taken to as the bus headed south; by then, the only logical destination was somewhere along the Florida Keys. So we got a vacation in Key West along with a wedding. Nice.
The guests were housed in a number of bed-and-breakfasts. The parents of the to-be-weds immediately set out to go look for some pot to smoke around the pool, which was funny, because I recalled being completely weirded out when I met them a few spring breaks ago - pot-smoking was a family affair in this household, a completely mysterious culture for me at the time. Revisiting that, I still could not digest the concept.
The wedding itself took place on one of those touristy pirate ships. My friends, with their costumed wedding party in tow, were married by Pirate Bob. We spent our few days in Key West soaking in the excess of the Jimmy Buffet vibe of the place, and then returned to Miami for our home destinations.
This picture of me was taken a short while after I drastically cut my super-long hair, which was like my signature during college. In the sentimental shojo-manga fashion, I think a big reason why I did that was because this boy I was in love with dumped me. Right before I got it cut, I did some black and white portraits with a friend who was taking photography classes... she did some interesting things with eggs placed on my long hair while I was lying on the floor.
In many ways, this wedding trip was the last hurrah for my group of college friends with whom I was close since freshman year. They throve on being different from the pack, in a self-deprecating, satirical way. I went along with most of their bizarre adventures but was not one for the ideas. They were also good-natured people. Since graduation, we all scattered toward different areas of the country, the world, separate callings in life. I am no longer in touch with any of them. I do hope that my friends married by Pirate Bob put together a good life for themselves.

I'm modeling and directing a photoshoot next week with an amazing team. It's a concept I've been wanting to do for awhile now, I'm so looking forward to sharing it with you all!
Back in the glory days, long before it became what it is now, I was very active on eBay. Early on, eBay was actually called the online garage sale, and was in its infancy. In fact, in those early days, long before membership reached its first million, Pierre was running eBay out of a garage in the Bay area.
During my time as an eBay seller...which ended quite a few years ago...I ran close to 2000 auctions, and made just over 1500 sales. I actually have a framed 'Power Seller' certificate hanging on my library wall. (o;
In those early days, eBay offered no photography function, and many / most auctions were listed without photos. That was a bad idea; people want to see what they are buying from strangers. I did all of my own photography, plus the HTML coding to write the listings and include the photos. (Incidentally, and as proof of obsession, I still have most all of the listing files I wrote back then.)
This photo was one of about a hundred different diecast colllectible cars I sold at auction. At that time I was shooting with the D100, hand held using room lighting. Everything is relative, and even average photos will trump auctions with none.
I continue to do quite a bit of tabletop photography...much higher quality now than this photo...but that type of photography is NOT popular on Flickr. That may be because the subject matter is generally uninteresting, or it may be that folks have found that tabletop photography, lighting, perspective, gear, etc., is far more difficult than pointing the camera at a sunset and snapping the picture. I wanted to share this old shot as a memory for me of both those times with eBay and an earlier time in photography.
The life of a man of leisure!

Spending time with Willem Vermandere is like opening a cherished book—each story unfolding with the depth of a seasoned artist and the wit of a true raconteur. His tales, like his sculptures and songs, are steeped in the essence of Flanders, offering a glimpse into its soul and humanity. I love this joyful portrait I captured during one of our many conversations.

“Frontier. Deep night. I’m driving back from Switzerland to Italy. Nobody at the Checkpoint. The road is closed, a few days ago a landslide interrupted part of the street. At the border an advertising panel lights up the mountain in red. It’s November, 3am, quite cold. I parked my car, took the camera, positioned my tripod in the middle of the road. "discount on computers”, says the billboard. In a recent exhibition a little boy said about this picture ‘A stick inside a volcano, or a stick in a cave with two wires, or a root. End’“ Diary of an Italian Border Worker by Fabrizio Albertini (¾)
