Sunset in St Pete., FL. Photo: Adrienne C. Wilson Since I’ve been back home and catching up with friends either on the phone or over dinner everyone has been probing and picking at my brain. What have you been up to? Where have you been? Why did you go there? For work? For play? 2007 [...]

It felt as though I were looking down at the entire world, but it was only the city of Albuquerque. Applause surrounded us as we drifted off and smiling faces were accompanied by waving hands down on land. My hot air-balloon cruised the clear, crisp early morning skies, escaping from the rest of the toy [...]

It is morning now. The photo above and those below were taken on the long 4.5 hour drive from Santa Barbara after working seven hours in store and driving two earlier that morning from West Hollywood. At the present I sit in a Scotts Valley Best Western as far as ever from the Bat Cave, [...]

Venice Beach & weekend BBQ smooches from the grill. Oh joy, it is summer time! Photos: Adrienne C. Wilson (Third row, first photo shot by Sahar Abasi) It was the summer of O-7 and there was an explorer that went out with her third-eye… Or was it her fisheye? The details don’t matter all that [...]

Again, all photos were taken by Adrienne C. Wilson & Hugo M. except where pictured together. ***Note: Some photos taken together were also done by [...]
