The only cure for contempt is counter-contempt.

This fellow was riding a fat tire bike towards me and I kept taking pictures of him - and they kept getting more and more interesting the closer he got. Finally he stopped his bike and stared me down. Sent a chill down my spine - but then he started pedaling again and rode around me.... whew!!

This is mine from the water-garden for the cure.

Wishing you all great October, this month for us has many events I love to attend if I can.

I've found a new hangover cure - refraction!

I really enjoyed trying out this technique a while back and some of my other refraction work can be found here...

If anyone other than my brother-in-law (MetAlbertR) can name the album from which I've taken the artwork I'll be very impressed. Hint - there is a big clue in the title, no Google searches allowed!

Thanks in advance for any comments or favourites you may wish to make.

Death is the only sure cure for life.

This is one of the "beds" in the jail at Nevada City. This is a sure way to keep the criminals from wandering off, but it must have been pretty miserable. Just the way jail should be!

pretty, but does it work?

Unrelated:

Scotty & I are in the midst of planning our "official" (if not actual) wedding. It's a not-so-surprisingly heinous thing to undertake… particularly when you are attempting to do it for a micro-fraction of the average American pricetag. Let's also keep in mind that I would have been entirely content never to have bothered with the whole formal marriage thing at all, and I thus have a difficult time justifying much spending (with a few exceptions, I admit). Scotters, on the other hand, is a staunch traditionalist when it comes to weddings, and is pretty fiercely attached to a great deal of things that I'm not such a big fan of.

So, I was just curious… looking back, what was your very most favourite part of your wedding experience, and what do you now feel you could have lived without (read: what was a giant waste of time, money, and stress)? What would you now have even spent more on, and what do you wish you hadn't thrown money away on? What would you change if you were to go back in time & do it all again?

Tobacco hung to cure. Once cured the leaves are stripped from the stalks and bundled for market

Hi, my name is Doesn't Matter

I like making bad decisions

Let's wake up like nothing happened

If we do it, say we didn't

If your friends ask if you hit it

You can tell 'em, I'll admit it

I wear that shit like a badge

'Cause I know that I got that kitty

You, you're in love with somebody else

Maybe I could offer some help

Get over them by getting under me

But you might OD if you get too much of me

Od if you get too much of me

Od if you get too much of me, yuh

Hi, my name is not important

I'm not from here, I'm imported

I drink liquor like it's water

Hope my liver can afford it

I've been lying here with you

I've been lying here, I'll be lying here

I'm under the covers

Like what happened here ain't nothing sacred

Shit that got me fucked up is

I know that dude just saw me naked

Not interested in a broken heart

But who'd a thought it'd take me ages?

I ended up here 'cause my girls said

"Fake it 'til you make it"

You, you're in love with somebody else

Maybe I could offer some help

Get over them by getting under me

Hi, my name is not important

I'm not from here, I'm imported

I drink liquor like it's water

Hope my liver can afford it

Marvin type of healing

Got you all up in your feelings

Staring at the ceiling

Like, "I hope he still here in the morning"

You under the covers

Like what happened here ain't nothing sacred

I can tell you fucked up over

Someone else you can't replace, and

You finally realized

That broken love just ain't worth saving

You tryna lick the wounds

But someone's not reciprocatin'

You, you're in love with somebody else

(You're in love with somebody else)

Well, maybe I could offer some help

(Maybe I could offer some help)

Get over them by getting under me

But you might OD if you get too much of me

Od if you get too much of me, uh

Get over him by getting under me

But you might OD if you get too much of me

'Cause you're in love with somebody else

Well, maybe I could offer some help

Get over them by getting under me

But you might OD if you get too much of me

Might OD if you get too much of me

Get over him by getting under me

But you might OD if you get too much of me

Od if you get too much of me

I'd OD if you get too much of me

Od if you get too much of me

"The Reading Girl" by Pietro Magni (1861)

Ti proteggerò dalle paure delle ipocondrie,

dai turbamenti che da oggi incontrerai per la tua via.

Dalle ingiustizie e dagli inganni del tuo tempo,

dai fallimenti che per tua natura normalmente attirerai.

Ti solleverò dai dolori e dai tuoi sbalzi d'umore,

dalle ossessioni delle tue manie.

Supererò le correnti gravitazionali,

lo spazio e la luce

per non farti invecchiare.

E guarirai da tutte le malattie,

perché sei un essere speciale,

ed io, avrò cura di te.

A variety of Lap Mei (literally fragrant meat), including meat cuts and sausages, on display at Yung Kee (鏞記) on Wellington Street., Central, Hong Kong.

Chinese cured meat is salted, and traditionally, has to be cured not just by the sun, but specifically by the winter wind. Despite sometimes being mistranslated as "wax" meat, there is no wax involved.

December 2017

In 1993, bluesy alternative rock band Morphine sang about the lure of the needle in their song ‘Cure for Pain’. The band promised to throw all their drugs away when a cure for pain was found. Sadly, in 1999, while on stage in Rome the lead singer had a heart attack, presumably from hard living, and died.

While many of our personal situations in life probably don’t involve a rock star’s level of drugs, sex and rock ’n’ roll, there’s often some level of stress and frustration, and we all cope in different ways.

Well, this is my cure for pain.

Moglie e figlio-wife and son

I remember watching Cure videos by accident at a pretty early age on MTV. It was my first exposure to a man wearing makeup and I was curious and confused. It wasn't until I turned 16 or 17 that I started buying all the records and by that time anyone I saw who wore a Cure shirt or listened to them was automatically brilliant in my head.

By the time I was 18, I had surrounded myself with only a handful of friends I liked so instead of having some huge graduation party from high school, I just had friends over as usual to listen to music and be emo (the real emo). The difference that time was that I took the time and energy to send Robert Smith personally an invitation. I sent it off to a fan mail address...not sure he got it but he never responded anyhow. He may have had to play to thousands of people on that day, anyhow, or look goth glam while buying milk at the corner store.

The Cure actually played Coachella on Robert Smith's birthday and they played so long that legend already is that they had to cut the sound because it went over and Robert Smith played acoustic versions of really old songs with a crowd huddled close. Of course, I was too busy furiously photo editing but I feel like I was there somehow just by hearing about it and it makes me feel good that Robert Smith brought the sky down on his birthday.

It's my 30th birthday, so now you know how old I am. I never thought I would get to photograph Robert Smith. I never thought I would get to photograph Radiohead or Leonard Cohen. I think sometimes when a person posts a great deal of concert photography, you may think she/he does it as a job. This isn't my job at all...it's just some surreal adventure I'm on that I'm quite scared about ending.

It's too bad Robert Smith and I couldn't enjoy a piece of cake together, us both being Tauri and all.

The best cure for worry, depression, melancholy, brooding, is to go deliberately forth and try to lift with one's sympathy the gloom of somebody else.
