Let me just say that I absolutely adore this woman for many reasons! I admire her kindness, her honesty, her vivaciousness, her sensitivity, her strength and mostly her free spirit.
Thank you Aingeal for being all that you are.

Dr Carl's Department of Collections. Come say hi!!! 
People seem to really like this photo so I figured I'd explain a little bit about it being that I'm in a rare talkative (heh) sharing mood.

I took this photo in the summer of 2005, June to be exact. It was two months after someone I loved cheated on me and broke my heart. First real love and all, I took it rather hard and was devastated by the betrayal, selfishness, insults, and worst of all, his blame for his actions. I was spiralling out of control and it came to me that I should take a photo. I had been a photographer many years before in the 90s and I always found a kind of calmness whenever I held a camera in my hands. My first published photos were in a amateur teen magazine called Sassy and beyond that I've had little successes here and there but nothing solid as my attentions were drawn elsewhere eventually. But at that moment I knew one thing for certain, if I focused on photography, it would be something that I could grasp onto to help regain the equilibrium that I needed at the time. So I found my camera, put on my favorite bodice, thew my head and hair back and snap! Took the picutre. It was the first one I took. The best one. My favorite and apparently yours as well. I like to think of this photo as a sort of rebirth for me. I felt like a phoenix rising from the flame full of anger and rage, angst and sorrow, endings and new beginnings. I think it captures it all. All that raw emotion I was feeling at the time. All that pain. And how fitting that aside from photography, fire - because I love it so - was the thing that helped me live again. Helped me breathe.... "And like a phoenix I arise." I've long since forgiven my ex. Forgiveness btw does not mean forgetting. It just means that my life is so much better without all the complications of his world in it. It means that I've been given a chance to be as I once was before that union and then some. Alive and healthy, happy and beautiful, surrounded by my family, the 'community', a place full of lights, love, creativity, encouragement, support, positive energy and fire. And so far... It's been a pretty wonderful ride. I'm a extremely lucky girl to have been given this gift. And I would not change a thing. I love you guys. Thanks.
Walking home from the beach this convertible with three young guys pulled up to the stop sign and waited as I crossed. As I did they cranked their music up louder and stared me down slightly leaning out of the car trying to 'get' my attention which they could not. I've been practicing the "I don't see you" stance for quite some time, in fact to be honest I've perfected it and if I'm not into wanting to pay any attention to someone... I don't. They were persistent little fucks. I think they said something to me when I finally crossed to the other side, I still did not glance up, so apparently in a attempt to showboat (try to get my attention) the driver slammed his foot down on the gas, cranked the wheels to try for a left turn and BAM! got hit by a car who had just pulled up and neglected to do a full stop at their stop sign. If they had been paying attention to the road rather than me they would have seen the idiot and not gotten hit.

Even the old couple who had been walking towards me had to laugh at that one. We all gave each other the knowing smile followed by the wife saying something like she wishes she could cause accidents like that. Funny. Aside from that I'm loving the fact that I don't have to drive to get here any longer as I'm all ready here. Not to mention the incredible guest house I'm staying in which makes me think of being in bali every time I set foot onto the property. Lots of windows, lots of red, lots of plants, a incredible secluded balcony. It's just a good environment to vege out or paint or whatever. Everything's zen. Just the way I like it. 
i've been having travel dreams again... wunderlust if you will. it's a typical thing for me as i've a gypsy heart and soul never staying in one place too long or/and usually taking off to discover others. last year was great for me, not only did i get to travel inside of the country a little, i got to hit a few places - italy, france, spain, germany, russia, egypt, korea, ireland, brazil...

this year i have plans to visit australia, new zealand, spain, netherlands, austria, italy, peru, greece, morrocco, turkey, jordan, japan, alaska, egypt and china. i've all ready hit mexico though it was just a party and not for exploration. i don't know the year's coming up fast and i know i need to get crackin' on things so i figured i'd write it down. my travel goals. sparked by my inability to stay put and my desire to see all the ancient wonders of the world and the world / people itself. i'm curious like that. i just need to really sit down and make it so. i've been procrastinating way too long and its time to make things happen again. ah btw the photo is one i took while hanging out in venice last year.
