New Year, New Series.

Hello Junkies! This new year is starting off with a new series, Doors.


Every time I pass a door, I have to stop and look. "What's back there?" is often my wonder, followed by a quick story that I conjure in my own mind. What do these doors say to you?

Tall Elegant Lines

How about some lovely lines. Do you like lines? I like lines-



San Francisco, CA













New Orleans, LA













I still have miles of backlog to get through. Be on the look out for more treats. Until then, see ya on the road.

The Quarter

Hello fellow Junkies. Today I'm sitting in a hotel room in Atlanta GA. I realize it's been a while since I promised you the French Quarter of New Orleans, but life these days has a way of running away from me. Not to worry, that means more shots for you later. And believe you me, I have some gems.

But first, as promised, some choice snaps from The Quarter-

























I'm saving some other hidden treasures for later. This wont be the last you'll see of New Orleans, that's for sure. I'm not sure what you'll get next, but I'll be back home in a few days. After a quick rest at home I'll be going back north to Oregon again and staying for a bit. Don't worry, you'll get another post out of me before I run off again. Until then, see ya on the road.

Detour

Summer has finally shown up here in the SF Bay Area. Last weekend I spent Saturday in San Francisco and took a walk down the pier-







I had lunch in one of my favorite parks, Union Square-







It made for a great Saturday afternoon. Next time, the French Quater, for real.

You know, they say Reno is "The Biggest Little City in the World," but I really think that title belongs to Seattle. Sure it has a large spread of territory, huge buildings and even a lightrail system, but it distinctly has the personality of a little city. Most people you see walking the streets in downtown are clad in black and studs, messenger bags strapped to their person with either an iPod or Camera dangling out of it and it's obvious that book stores and coffee houses reign supreme.












I met some wonderful people and had some pretty amusing times during my stay. I'll get to those with my next installment. Thanks to sleeping on the train on my way back home, my back is now tweaked, so typing is a tad annoying. So until then, see ya on the road.

An Ode to Urban

Alright, so life got a little crazy. Don't you just love it when that happens? So I apologize for this being late, but better late then never.

A well known fact about me is I love the city. Urban landscapes and cement mountains are my playground. It should be no surprise that I fell in love with Acapulco. The city is a wonderful combination of a modern urban dirtiness and old world tradition-











My travels have brought me to Washington, where I'll be for another week before venturing back down the coast towards home. Until then, see ya on the road.
