photo, seagull -

The Noble seagull one of the most photographed birds in the planet. Everyone in the world has possibly at least a dozen or so seagull photos. Here is my best photo of he seagull. Aside from pigeons, seagulls enjoy a timeless popularity. I do not know why people are fascinated by seagulls. Then again, seagulls go hand in hand with the ocean scene. People don't feel like they went to the beach without photographing seagulls, or feeding them.  It certainly removes their incentive to hunt. Then again, humans has practically fished out their prey. The least they can do is...

photo, sailing -

I took this photo in a restaurant that no longer exists. The Hurricane Irma came and it took with it many things. People think that by now the area should have recovered. However, this has not been the case. Even places insured are seeing slow, painful progress. Most of the boats on the coast got docked in the middle of the road. They are ruined, and will not be able to sail again. Hurricanes are scary, and even if you do not live on the coast, you still get ruined by them one way or another.  The day the Hurricane...

anime, art, drawing, sketch -

I was looking through my art supplies to make new product descriptions when I ran into this sketchbook. I could not find the brand for it, so instead I decided to feature it in the blog.

After all, students  and Uncle Sam are paying for the classes. Who cares if they want to waste their time and not pay attention? Frankly, college felt like...

adorable, cute, hat, skulls -

This is a nice little stand featuring a bunch of smiling skulls. Different people have different ideas about the human skulls. The Mexican culture prefers to decorate it. I don't really know why. Maybe it is a Day of the Dead things. Perhaps, they get decorated as so because outsiders consider those reliquaries as purely Mexican. If people buy them, they will make them. People dependent on tourism ponder off their cultures and beliefs to make a buck.  Some things cannot be helped. People need to eat to survive and sometimes surviving is not enough. People enjoy having nice things....

art, miami beach -

A few years ago I took this random photo of a kite surfer dude. I tried to frame it in a way that featured him and the kite. It is usually fun to try to see them dock. After all, the kite is designed to propel them through the water at quick speed. Some times I see them crashing into the shore. It is also interesting whenever they try to take off. They usually are already getting about by the time I arrive. They must start their little games early in the morning. The photo was a bit crooked, so...
