the cute-comfort relationship

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Yes, those shoes really hurt. They hurt so much that she had a bunch of band-aids in her purse for her blisters. Yet she continued to wear them. Why? It it worth enduring the pain to fit into those shoes? Where do we draw the line?

allow me to rant for a minute here

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

Today I give you another piece of mail I received from another admiring fan. As you may or may not know, I am a collector of fan mail and rather enjoy reading the collection of letters and comments left for me. I received this rather benign e-mail which then stirred up a number of questions, […]

what to do about racism

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

I have mixed feelings about the situation surrounding our infamous radio not-friend Don Imus. Groups around the country are calling for him to be fired to prevent him from spreading words laced with racism and prejudice. Fine, fine, we all agree something needs to happen. But part of me feels that firing the guy just […]

it’s true, all Asians hate Blacks

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

I am fascinated by the goings on of my Asian brethren up in San Francisco. I am having rather mixed feelings about the knee-jerk reaction that occurred after the article was published. Does AsianWeek really need to avoid publishing articles that, however offensive, represent the opinions of some (likely a minority) of their readers? Is […]

freedom isn’t free

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

Today I learned that one is not “allowed” to take photos of any buildings in downtown LA. I objected to security that this was not legal, and they said “it’s not about it being illegal, this is private property and that is our rule, because of 9/11.” So then I pointed out that we were […]

the circle of life

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

A number of angry Flickr users have told me that because I do not speak with the subjects of my photos, I am not only invading their privacy but also proving I am a weak coward.
Every now and then, I do consider speaking with the people I see. In this particular case I would say, […]

Did she buy the skirt and then realize she needed leggings? Or did she buy the leggings and then realize she needed the skirt?

an unjust world

Saturday, January 6th, 2007

Okay, you know what? I feel sorry for sex offenders. They’re condemned, alienated, and then have their photos posted on the Megan’s Law website and meanwhile 13 year old girls go prancing around like this and they’re supposed to look the other way?”

I’m sorry, sex offenders. I don’t know why people expect you to try […]

ban on white

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

Why, I ask, do people do this to themselves? Was there not one second in this woman’s entire life where she thought “maybe I should see how this looks from behind” and then utilized one of the tools we have as human beings (mirrors and other reflective surfaces) to examine the situation? Please don’t start […]

independence day

Monday, December 11th, 2006

I believe American Girl dolls are all implanted with some sort of chip which allows alien life forms to survey us in the privacy of our own homes, thus giving them information about our lifestyles and vulnerabilities. American Girl dolls are going to destroy the universe.

P.S. Some people become very angry when I take photos […]
