I got a chance to do a little daytime exploring of the twin cities yesterday (I’ve never seen so many lakes). I was here last year on a cross country road trip with my friend Alan from Toronto, and I got a shot in a downtown alley at night. It was a Friday night and […]

I arrived home last night after my 12-hr drive from Seattle, and had a sweet 10-hr sleep … aaaahhhhh!!!
Then I woke up just in time for another day of madness - scrambling to get an impossible number of critical things done in one day. Now, 9:15pm, I have to go to the airport for the red-eye to Detroit. […]

Driving back to the Bay Area from Seattle today brought back memories of an amazing hitchhiking trip that I took down the coast, from Seattle to San Diego, many years ago with my friend Gerry. Two guys hitchhiking is a recipe for not getting a lift, so we had to devise ways around this. One […]

I spent the greater part of the day freaking out as it finally dawned on me that my schedule is completely out of control. I’m at the airport in San Francisco, on my way to a show in Chicago. After my 18-hour drive from Denver, I had two sleep deprived days to get a thousand things […]

Got in at midnight, picked up my un-stolen van in the long term parking, and drove to my booth site in downtown Des Moines. No one was around and I was hungry. Restaurants in Des Moines? at midnight? are you kidding? Nothing was opened (I asked)… Well, one place was open: a gas station. So […]

I can’t remember the last time I left for the airport with plenty of time to spare. I fantasize about it…  casually walking out my front door, whistling a tune…. Instead its always aaaaahhhhh!!!! race, race, race against the clock… late again… gotta catch the train… check the clock again… beading sweat… I’m crazy late!!
I missed one […]

I’m now in St. Louis. The short stop-over flight from Des Moines went along the Mississippi River for most of the way, and along the path of its recent disasterous flooding. It was like looking at one long, sad car accident… entire towns, houses, industrial districts… all buried to the brim in the Mississippi water.
Shot from the […]
