Picture of the Week #227 "Mick Lisa" Zagreb, Croatia 2013 Signed and Stamped

We went to various Museums in Zagreb and couldn't help but notice this poster hanging out in front of the Arts & Crafts Museum. As we don't speak or understand Croatian we were at a complete loss, except for the humor of the image. As I am primarily working towards a show of "POP Pictures That Make You Smile", I thought this would fit right in. Tonight I had some trouble accessing my blog to add this image, and even with the help of the Concierge here in the Hotel, we couldn't figure it out. But after some persistence back in our room, there she is. I hope she makes you smile way beyond her legendary portrait.

Picture of the Week #226 "Before the Charge" Tree Tops, Nepal 2000 - 2013 Signed and Stamped

This photo of the elephant was taken at Tree Tops in Nepal in 2000. But the sky was actually shot in front of my house here in Bel Air California 13 years later. I placed the elephant there because the colors seem to work together. The blueish grey of the skin against the coming storm in the sky wed the image together. The graphic of those white tusks and the pink of the ears reminds me why I love to shoot in color.

Picture of the Week #225 "Cargo Hold" Hong Kong, China 2007 Signed and Stamped

This was taken on a flight from Hong Kong to Taiwan aboard the plane. I found it funny that the gloves are woolen and not very protective against heat or liquids. I'm curious as to what is in those containers?

Picture of the Week #224 "WTF" Hong Kong, China 2007 & Vancouver, Canada 2005 Signed and Stamped

The glass sculpture was in Hong Kong in a window back in 2007 while the lily pads were in Vancouver British Columbia two years earlier. Now, eight years later having always loved the water lilies and the sculpture and wanting to do something with them, I created this image melding the two. I love the colors and the odd glass sculpture. I may use either one of them at a later date in another picture. But for now, here they are.

Picture of the Week #223 "Kiss Me Stupid" Giza, Egypt 1989 Signed and Stamped

This was my camel driver guide who took me around the desert. Seeing the pyramids is one of the greatest experiences anyone can have. There were not many tourists when I was there was in October or November of 1989. Everything was magical. I only wish I stayed longer and understood more about the history of place that always fascinated me. I'd love to return even with all of the horrors happening, somehow you always believe it won't happen to you. One day, perhaps, I can take my wife Ann there and to the Valley of the Kings and Luxor, which sadly I never got to on my trip. Another destination for the bucket list.
