Welcome Home.jpg

A collection of photos shot around downtown LA one night while shooting pics for People Assisting The Homeless. Riding a Vespa scooter, I visited some sad parts of my city while trying to make sense of it. I can't!I cobbled together 7 or 8 of my pics in a way that seemed to capture my impressions of the night.

Ovaltine Cafe.jpg

Vancouver, Canada - Not the Hotel California but has it's own charm, cheap food and free underlying depression. Not sure how I found it but it seemed like the place for me.

I don't remember.jpg

Agh.. the good old days of drinking... lotsa fun... lotsa wasted time... lotsa excuses....

as seen from a random street in San Francisco... commentary assumed...

Commentary was soon required - I guess I should have seen the warning signs and gathering storm.

Belfast.jpg

Three days in Belfast for Washing Windows concerts at the Intercontinental Hotel (most bombed hotel in Belfast). Now they sell the conflict as tourist attraction. Take a Tour of the Monuments to the Murdered, barbed wire and bullet holes.

Jib Jab!  Remember the good old days... lines, bleach, horse medications, chaos, hoaxes, hand washing, mask, ventilators, etc., etc.

Happiness 2.png

All from Palermo - just not all from the same place. Lipstick and happiness like features added for effect. 

Juke Joint 3.jpg

Juke Joint Festival in Clarksdale, Mississippi - home of the Delta Blues. Very distressed with lotsa of closed storefronts. 

Juke Joint Hotel room.jpg

Stayed in old slave quarters that is now a destination hotel.  Only white people stay their now.  All the amenities of newspaper and aprons for curtains.  

Overheard, "Oh honey, isn't this quaint."

Saw some of the legends of Delta Blues who played with all the great names.

Sadly, still having to play and still struggling to make a living.
