Neil Gaiman ♥

Dee — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 10:55:49 +0000

In a few hours, I will be with Neil Gaiman in the same room. I know I will see him. I know I will hear him. What is left to chance is if I will speak to him and/or if I will touch him whilst shaking hands or hugging. I might sell my soul to the devil to chance in my favor.

Therefore in honor of this delightful encounter, I am posting the photos and video that I stole for a night in 2008. Maybe the devil will bargain with me.

The photos are with my digital point and shoot, zoomed in. I could put a filter to it, Instagram maybe, but I like this for the nostalgia.

Here’s to you Neil ♥, complete with broken finger.

Shangri LA Hotel – 2001

Dee — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 23:52:11 +0000

This is the Shangri LA in Santa Monica. I took this photo circa 2001. I have a tendency to not know the dates of photos if I shoot film. So anyways, this was shot with a Holga, with Ilford film, maybe 400. Afterwards, I walked inside, walked some of the halls, and the atrium/patio/gardens. It was exactly how I had imagined the settings for some of the Francesa Lia Block novels as they were based in LA about fairies and creatures of the like. So, I found out that it is closed now for renovations, and my friend’s friend’s family actually owns the place. When he told me that, I realized I never posted this photo for any one to see. Now, here it is. The Shangri LA. I love this place. I cannot wait until it opens again.
