somebody's caught up in their reading!

somehow, little one got stuck when she went exploring.

luckily she had plenty of reading material.

(it took me half an hour of panic to find her. she was REALLY back up in there!)

love it. loveitloveitloveit.

this from my friend inarticulate fumblings:

click on this link, NOW:
what dogs really think about YOU

no reason, today -

reason, after all, is over-rated.

bambi & thumper -

one of the presents this christmas included a little bit of nostalgia in card form:


you know, the ones who said: "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"


we're lucky.



we have a LOT of nice things to say, thanks to our own B & T:

time passes, love remains -

in the beginning



and even to this day

the last morning on castro -

the view gave us a rather stunning send-off.

thanks, view.

we'll miss you too.

my man in the window -

the new home gave us a sunny welcome.

there is balance, eventually, everywhere.

merry xmas, everyone.

what does Landis look for?

a location sets the story.

what does landis look for in location?

a sign :


the divine:


compatriots in line :


the curve of a detail:


something refined:


a step:

a wall:

a window:
a door:

a vista:


a mr. :

some cock :
or some rock:

a stairway :



to a little piece of heaven:

what does Landis see?

BLUE NIGHTS :





RED DAYS :

who's gonna drive you home, tonight?

Who's gonna pick you up
When you fall ?
Who's gonna hang it up
When you call ?
Who's gonna pay attention
To your dreams ?







hopefully,
these crazy friends.

landis smithers, how DO you do it?

how DO you survive the daily production grind of vans shuttling around strange cities (get in, get out, run around, take pics, get in, get out, run around, take pics) and production offices (everyone's so nice, everyone's on the PHONE, everyone's so BUSY.)?


perhaps you sneak away now and again to the roof:


and try to enjoy some argentine sun before they find you again:


because they will find you, my friends:


they will ALWAYS find you:


and you, being whom you are,
you will love it.
