Heathen Apostles | The Echo

Heathen Apostles | The Echo

Heathen Apostles
Mather Louth

Thomas Lorioux
Stevyn Grey
Luis Mascaro

Lee first introduced me to Heathen Apostles at the Cafe Nela show on February 13. He knew I would love them and he is friends with Mather. Well, he was right. I love them! And it turns out we license their music through Rescue Records. Heathen Apostles played an amazing set at Cafe Nela, absolutely amazing. But I was without camera and so I wanted to go see them again at The Echo. It was a shorter set this time but here are the photos! More to come because I have 12 undeveloped frames that I shot on my Rollei. I also had my CD autographed by the band! Yay! Thank you!

A bee devours nectar from a Hummingbird Mint. The leaves and blooms are highly
fragrant and smell of licorice candy.

Bogart | Good Night Sweet Prince

Good night sweet prince
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!
Adieu adieu.
Adieu oh radiant angel and friend.

Bogart

It's Cat Day!

Never enough photos but these are the best ones when you would let me take them.
I love you Bogart.

Max | An Angel Gets His Wings

Goodbye, Max
You are the sweetest cat.
<3

We had known of Max’s imminent departure over a month ago.
Yet, we posted his face all over Instagram and on the internet
in the hopes that your love
for his sweet face would overfill his heart.
Tilt the Max-o-meter!!!
And it worked!

Max stayed with us for another Thanksgiving,
and another Christmas with Rain, Jon, Pixel, and Buster…

Today Max left us.
He is free from pain.
He is free to roam the Universe,
Soak in the sunbeams, lick his paws, purr
As cats do…

But he will always be in our hearts,
Always at our feet,
Always warming our laps, our giant fur ball
Always perched on the back of the couch purring,
Always loving us from where he is now.

Nothing ever dies.
Because everything lives forever.

Jon rescued Max from the LA River years ago.
In turn, Max rescued us.
He did a loving job.

Venice Beach to Japan

I touched the ocean yesterday and it rippled off to Japan and back again to California.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the World.

Unphotographable | 11:11 & Shooting Stars

While I was screen capturing this and making a wish, it changed to 11:12 then 11:13…
Angels: ok. we will consider it
Me: NO
Angels: ok we are stirring the pot of stars
Me: YAY! THANK YOU!

Last night I saw a shooting star… it glowed and floated out of the ether and then burned into ash and ember… stardust falling out of the sky. I made a really good wish.

Loki

This is Loki and Monster. I took this photo 3 years ago…

Loki lived with my friend Spencer. When I met Loki I fell in love with his face and his loving nature…

I found out on Friday that Loki passed on about 4 months ago…  He’s one of my guardian angels now.

I love you Loki.

Loki
