Beauty Amidst America


Three hitchhikers in Oregon who graciously appeased my camera's eye on Saturday. 

Coherent confusion weaves the fabric of imagination and creativity into moments of reality. Their smiles caress my ego. Various ladies have been throned on beauties shrine. When allowed to photograph their exquisite charm, the resurrection of harmony feeds my soul.  


"This is weird," she (above) said as I took her picture in Golden Gate Park. Too weird to live to unique to die. (Hunter S. Thompson) 

For now, and ever more, I look forward to roaming the vast lands of inner space behind the eye of the camera.

To be honest, when I first got the idea to roam around busy city parks and streets to ask pretty ladies if I could take their pictures, I was expecting resounding no’s and harsh rejection. Pleasantly surprised, reciprocate smiles from appealing women wasn't as rare as expected.

The first day I set out to take pictures of gorgeous women, I was too shy to ask a single woman for her picture. The second day I tried, it took me almost two hours to ask the first woman for her picture and she let me take three pictures of her, thank you Kate!

Yes, I’m weird, but innocuously strange, and the fact I’m not scary to all women is comforting.
