Yet a few more...





Yet a few more






Note the ones also for foreign countries...the same ad models and effervescence. Honing in on power, materials, wealth, prowess, and ego.

More ciggie ads






They are delving into "subliminal" advertising 50 years ago; imagine what they can do with nano technology today...in the Orwellian battle for the mind.

More ciggie ads





These are pretty clever and convincing. Associating smoking with virility, wealth, power, sex, acquisition, coolness, adventure, courage, and so on...even part of the home and implied sacred ness.

Big Tujunga Wash area 12/04





Hints of fall winter coming slowly to the area. First time this river has been dry in a while. A true "arroyo seco." The poplars, sycamores and willows now in yellow color. Many small birds chirping today.

Thanksgiving/yuletide pix






Couple more for the season. Time of spiritual reflection and commarderie with the Fellowship of those we bonded to. In gratitude and what to ask big H.P. to do better on.

US Veterans 2





Remembering the veterans





Some misc pics. In a much grander scale, without these people this country might be in a much different situation. To what extent, allow the individual to find out for themselves.
