A Very Special Tear-Jerking Moment

napastar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:09:18 +0000

I was invited to photograph an event, the presentation of the banner and other gifts to a young lady just about to deploy to boot camp, fresh Army meat. The moment touched me more deeply than I imagined:

With her father standing beside her, and father Bruce’s glasses fogging up on the right, they honored her with little speeches, gifts and advice from the old military guys. We all cried, but if that didn’t do it to you, meet her mother:

There was a lot of love gathered there that night to support this young woman as she embarked on the journey of a lifetime. She had recently gotten married.

Classic Jerome Arizona

A series of nine photos I picked out of many I took on our field trip to Jerome. I have more of the women I went with, but I’d have to ask all their permissions before I post those….

Get 10% OFF the Cabernet you wanted anyway…

From the Winemaker:
“This is the first time that we have sourced Cabernet from the Atlas Peak area of Napa. This vineyard is at the base of Atlas Peak. We brought in 4 tons of fruit, producing just 240 cases. The harvest was interrupted by the rain that year so we harvested on two different days and then blended the finished wines together when they were both through fermentation. It was aged in new French oak barrels for 30 months. It is a big, fruit-forward wine. The lush nose opens up with aromas of cherry-cola, dark chocolate and licorice. There is a full mouth that finishes with just the right tannin management to leave your mouth dry but full of flavor, ready for the next taste. This wine will continue to improve in the bottle for the next 10 years.”

This wine is very limited, however, for a short time only, you can get 10% OFF the retail price by using this link to email the winemaker – GustavoThrace

Pahrump in the Winter of 2009

napastar — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 16:16:04 +0000

Here we are in Pahrump, at the Seven Palms RV Park and Campground. Last night I came to realize the severity of the chemtrails that are being put into our skies. I watched an educational video on the subject after watching them criss cross the sky with their poisons. They explained the science of clouds and air, or what used to be our air. They also had analysis of the STUFF that was in those trails, ew, yukky, pew. Anyone with even the slightest curiosity, please watch this video:

Detail of Dewdrops on a Mushroom

Do you believe it? Perfectly aligned dewdrops… like they were placed there. Colored, no PhotoShop filters were used in this photo. Nature made this pattern. Something about mushrooms intrigue me. The zoom out:

Camp Pussy

So, who was that, got up at 4:30am and started their car at the campground? Camp Pussy did, you d’camp pussy? When your bones are so cold that you can’t even sit still and you can’t build a fire in the dark, you go warm up the car… Start d’car! Warm that sucker up and you can finally thaw out and relax, dang, frozen fucking fog? I be d’camp pussy, in d’car. When the leaves crunch when you walk on them and your tears of laughter are making ice cubes on your eyelashes, you’d be d’camp pussy too. Burn some petrol and warm up or else you be d’ignorant camp pussy and I’d much rather be a warm pussy than clenched up frozen pussy. The sun is coming up and warming everything on this magnificent day, but not soon enough for my pussy dog and me. We’re somewhere near the Merced River with all the ducks and geese. Not many campers out this weekend, pussies.
