Ricardo, El Maestro
July 23, 2005 | 17 Jumada al-Thanni 1426

Our friend, Ricardo Villagran, is visiting from Argentina. He’s a great artist. He has worked in the comic book industry for more than 40 years. He is also a very accomplished painter. Ricardo’s a real gentleman and a funny guy. He was nice enough to let me photograph him yesterday while the light was very moody and soft. I used my 4×5, shooting Polaroid Type 54 Black & White proofs. I hope to shoot a few more of Ricardo before he takes off again. It’s been many years since I’ve seen him. Gracias Ricardo por su tiempo. Era muy divertido.

Who Needs Base Jumping?
July 23, 2005 | 17 Jumada al-Thanni 1426

Want a serious adrenaline rush? Try biking through Philadelphia at 11 o’clock at night. I just biked from 69th Street (West Philly) down to 7th Street & Oregon (South Philly). That was over 8 miles of sure fun and excitement. There’s no rush in the world like booking down hill at say, 25 miles per hour with a half-inflated front tire with cars swooping in on either side, car doors opening out of no where and the occaisional inebriated passer-by dashing out into your path at just the right moment. I can’t say how much I really look forward to more of this.
