RIP Bryan Florer, Light being and great photographer...

We learned today that a 
wonderful young man,
Bryan Florer, died last night
in a tragic car crash on 
Hwy 33.  A very talented
photographer, I met Bryan 
around the time my book
was coming out; and he was 
kind enough to photograph 
my Romancing The Smoke
art exhibition at Bohemia
Coffeehouse in Ojai.

Bryan was a kind soul, a 
bringer of light and a true 
creative. He had a special
ability to capture folks and 
their passion at their best.
RIP, man, and thanks.
So sad that it was way too soon...

Boulder, Colorado, a town 
very near and dear to me
has just given me one more 
good reason to consider 
moving back there...the town
just expanded their smoking 
ban...it's not cool to smoke 
(cigarettes) in Boulder 
anymore! There's nothing 
like fresh air in the Rockies!

If You Can't Take The Heat....

I made this piece in 2000
after I had an argument 
with someone about my 
right to smoke while they 
were nearby. I'm not sure 
if the raven taking flight 
is me or her...
