Best of travels, Patrick! Looking forward to the photos!

[sally]

dunno if i've posted this guy before, but i love him. you get to see bits of tokyo in ways that a tourist would never ever see unless they'd gone wrong and were upset about it. japanese industrial estates, japanese suburbs, japanese scrubby undefined areas, japanese city transit spaces.....

stopped raining for now. snow on the peaks far away this morning (taken from my porch)

[Silga]

Today had a pleasure to visit the new, albeit small Jonas Mekas exhibition titled "Mekas Winks Better" at The MO - Modern Art Museum. It features his photographs of encounters with other pop culture artists of the time: Yoko Ono, John Lennon, Andy Warhol, Jackie Kennedy, George Maciunas, Salvador Dali, etc. Mekas also caught Elvis' last performance in New York, 1972.

Here's Miles Davis playing basketball:



Sam Fuller, Nicholas Ray, Wim Wenders and Dennis Hopper during the filming of My American Friend:

snow on the mountains again but i've seen the first spring flowers in my yard today, albeit they are tiny



also wanted to document these baby cacti, i've surrounded them with rocks so as not to get stepped on





just checking the old camera still works, i've been neglecting it since finally breaking down and buying a smartphone

[patrick]

Here are some pictures I took when I went to Nice/Monaco last week. I do have them all in much higher quality, but tumblr was the only site I could find that would host them

[thoxans]

phunq creepin on dem nice folk. pretty images doe. what kind of camera do you use?

[patrick]

hahaha, I shoot on a Canon M50 I want to shoot on celluloid, but there's no good places around where I live that do high-resolution scans

[rischka]

[rischka]

[rischka]

[rischka]

k now back to movies

[greennui]

Great photos. That's a neat green jay.

[rischka]

thx you probably shouldn't encourage me can't believe i forgot the flamingos, there were thousands



and probably my favorite of all birds we saw, bare throated tiger heron



that's it i promise quadrangle of birds at uxmal

[john ryan]

El Popo looks intimidating

[pabs]

I flew over El Popo, too, many years ago and I just happened to look out the window at the right time to see it by coincidence. But I didn't have a camera.

Loved Mexico. I stayed a few days in each of the towns of Oaxaca, Merida, Mexico City and Puerto Vallarta.

Anyhow, thanks for the awesome pics everyone! Those birds, wow!

[rischka]

you missed a few cities mate, you'll have to go back



i will too... someday

[pabs]

Crazy gorgeous photo! It reminds me of Chichen Itza, which I visited when I was in Merida, but I know that's not it.

[Umbugbene]

I think it's Palenque. Of all the Mayan cities I've seen I like Palenque for its setting, Uxmal for architecture, Chichen Itza for its iconic majesty, Tikal for its size, and Copan for its pleasantness.

[rischka]

it's palenque in chiapas. visited calakmul, uxmal, hochob, xpujil, yaxchilan... most nearly empty. it was amazing. magician's pyramid at uxmal

[Umbugbene]

Terrific photos, Rischka.

[rischka]

thx, i had a blast, it was my dream trip and i'm so glad i went. one week later and it woulda been cancelled, probably should've been cancelled anyway if our gov't was on top of things. but i've done my bucket list and can die happy. and people said mexico wasn't safe...
