This is usual kites I see in Miami Beach. The place would look even more interesting if these kites were more common place. Can you imagine the sky with these fellows flying about. It would certainly add some texture to the plain azure sky. Then again, most people think a regular blue sky looks dandy, as it is. Blue is the most popular color out in the market. I suppose it is because the sky and the ocean is blue. It makes people very happy. I have been quite bored and the like. Well, I got nothing else creative to...

Today is another one of those days where I am drawing a bit of a blank. It is sometimes hard to be creative and to endure, when you just don't feel like it. I suppose when I am scrapping, I should return to the classics. People usually talk about their influences or whatever. I suppose I should mention my outside influences in my work.

People only ride bikes because...

I am just very comfortable here. I have everything I need and I can do whatever. Mostly, I like to stay home because of the weather. It is very hot and the like outside. The lightning also doesn't help much either. It makes it really hard to fall asleep at night. I usually like to stay up for a really...

review, travel -

This is a view from the hotel room of the Eden Rock. We had originally stayed in the Nobu, which was a bit more expensive. The photo was taken just after Hurricane Irma. The beach was more or less and mess, and there were signs of previous flooding all over the city. The sand had gotten everywhere. One could only imagine the levels of surf. Anyhow, after the hurricane, the rates were pretty low. We decided to stay in the hotel because the lights were off back home. It was a really hot fall season. A lot of old peopled...
