most recent spacebike guy encounter


spacebike guy was the topic of our first posting. we've seen him several times, and sometimes manage to get grainy footage, sometimes debatable evidence at best. but this occasion lent itself to some more leisurely shooting; he wasn't even riding his machine. amorette asked for his permission to take a few photos of his work. he agreed, and told us he wasn't riding because he was having a financial crisis. i must admit that i feel conflicted about aestheticizing spacebike guy here in his time of hardship, and really don't mean to make light of his situation. amorette was able to refer him to some social services she's involved with.

lake erie daytrip

we spent monday on a trip to lake erie. the 2 hour drive was beautiful, going through incredibly green damp landscapes of forests and farms under a sky like the one in the photo of the lake. being at the lake was like being at the ocean, it even seemed to smell like the ocean.
the wind was blowing pretty hard, and we thought kiddo wouldn't like it, but she seemed to love it on her face, and the sound of the wind and the waves. kind of like, 'whoa, it's like i'm in a huge woomb', maybe.


we'd make good hoboes if we ever decided to go off the grid.

do these pants make my head look huge?

we went to a jazz concert –joe sample trio– with our friends jessica, bryce and isaac. we enjoyed good food, conversation and music, and we felt cool to be seen with a cat like simone. we began bombarding her with music since the womb, and she seems to enjoy it intensely. she recently had her first earful of miles davis' "kind of blue", and she was 'feeling it'. she has also been perfecting some new dance moves. in this picture she's actually in the middle of a crucial sequence. more moves to follow...
