Well, it's officially Autumn.
My new prints are in the frame shop to be done the 27th.
Giant thanks to my friend Hiroshi for
the excellent job he did in printing them for me.
I have been busy as hell with all my projects.
A lotta irons in the fire.
I hope to have a new webpage up soon with the details of my upcoming
digital art show on it.
My prayers are with the people of Southern Texas
and Louisiana as they endure Hurricane Rita.

The distant echoing thud on the huge drum on wheels is coming closer...
The whistling of small bamboo flutes
together with the rhythmic beating of a cowbell
create a hypnotic aura
as the float on wheels slowly approaches.
There is excitement in the air,
as the rice harvest procession of villagers and floats
make their way around the lantern lit streets.
It will go on for a time,
till it reaches the final destination,
the Ginga-
My own personal Backyard Shrine.
It’s a warm breezy night with the backdrop
of the almost full orange moon.
I have seen this event many times, in the years I’ve spent here.
Every year I enjoy it anew.
I’ve taken many photos tonight.
Perhaps a new canvas will emerge from the spirit I felt
in my little town...
Till next time... ‘Mela

a bit of drama,
created digitally using a computer mouse to depict personal moods.

My prayers, good vibes, and well wishes go to the people of
New Orleans, Biloxi, Gulfport, and all surrounding areas hit by Katrina.
May they at last get the attention in the form of swift relief
that they have been needing since the storm hit.
