Summertime at the County Fair

Summertime just isn’t complete without the county fair. I grew up going to the Santa Clara County Fair. The sights, sounds, and smells are all very vivid memories to me. We went to the LA County Fair last weekend. As we drove up, the Pomona Fairgrounds seemed like a tiny oasis lost in this mass land of Los Angeles. As we stepped closer, it was as if we had drank from the same magic bottle as Alice. Everything grew bigger as we shrunk to tiny bite size people. There were at least three or four ferris wheels, game alley spanned most of the fairgrounds, fried food every where you turned, drinks galore, and farm animals in a giant barn bigger than what you’d ever seen on the side of the Pacheco Pass. While I did take color photos, these few black and white photos taken with my Diana + bring back those happy memories of summertime at the county fair.

Southern Skies

This is the window of my previous bedroom. It faces South. The chariot of the Moon raced through the night sky while I slept beneath this shaded palace. The cool air would kick up from the swiftness but I would sleep peacefully in this southern direction.

In Native American spirituality, South is the place of the child, where life begins. The animal in the South protects the child within and reminds us to be humble and when to trust so that innocence will be balanced in our personality (David Carson)

Hello Holga, Meet Diana

My Diana had her second outing last month. The first time was in April to Venice Beach and she saw the drum circle and the green ivy man and a bunch of billowy dancing women and men. The second time was on August 14 when she traisped around with Holga in the garden. Here is their interpretation of the same plant & flowers.
