Around the world in four collages

Why I never throw anything away

I keep snippets of images everywhere I go. Because you never know when you’re gonna need em.

It’s raining outside and we’re bored to tears.

The faux musicians in the lower right hand corner came from a photo I took in Iceland.

I shot the wooden star at the top on the Danube during a winter cruise.

The blue orb was from a photo was taken in Bath, England.

The “We Are Not Parasites” sign came from the “Hands Off” demonstration here in GNV.

And I spotted the dragon fly (or whatever the hell it is) right outside my window.

It was staring right at me. Maybe even stalking me.

Oh, the rain soaked screen in the background was taken on Crescent Beach.

I’m just sayin’ that this collage has been “round, round get around I get around.”

So do I.

It was a dark and stormy night

The background was shot during an especially dark and stormy night at the RiverGrill On The Tomoka, in Ormond Beach.

I photographed the llama in the Chilean Andes.

That’s me and a bizarre statue of Kafka in Prague.

The waiter and newspaper reading customer are murals painted on the wall in the medieval village of Roussilon, France.

The bronze lovers on the upper left are from a hotel courtyard in L’isle-sur-la-Sorgue, France.

Likewise the doubting Thomas on the right is from a shop window in L’isle-sur-la-Sorgue.

The bronco rider was etched in glass on a cable car in the Grand Teutons.

And the little lady between the waiter and customer is a statue on Easter Island.

The getaway

I found my favorite Andy Warhol quote – “Art is what you can get away with” – spray painted on a street in Chicago.

Donald’s mug shot needs no introduction.

The snowy figure below him is a sculpture in Reykjavik, Iceland.

The grotesque figure top center is on a wall in Berlin.

The praying priest top right was taken in a cathedral in Vienna

The VW bug was shot here in GNV.

The gold colored medallion is part of a manhole cover in Budapest.

The tattooed boy is from Regensburg-Innenstadt, Germany.

Celebrate like it’s 1925

I have a thing about photographing wine glasses.

These were shot – in no particular order – in:

Oxford, UK, Nuremberg, Germany. Ottawa and St. Augustine.

The flapper lady came from a painting in a guest room in St. Aug’s Casa Monica hotel. And the background is a nighttime shot of the Matanzas River.

Gotta stop now due to jet lag.
