The second floor break room is chock-full of turkey and Brussels sprouts

Just a few of the existential horrors experienced in Santa Barbara this weekend: A red bra hung from a tree, a woman carved out of sand, named Sandy, a guy whose voice sounds like a rusty spring that vibrates every couple minutes following us on a trail, it sounds like he's saying BREAM, and a young couple making fun of husbands and wives out for weekend strolls, and a shirt that says diem and a dog that resembles a frog and two dogs in the fog and a car that keeps honking but doesn't roll down its window, and the spring man is still following, he sounds like a raven saying bream, and a discussion of owls vomiting, and yoga pants with a cow skull on the thigh and a dog that molests us, and an owner that shouts it's fine he loves people, and Zach and Erica...

Truck party

I shot this apartment building La Ronde about a year ago as a palm frond was hanging from the n. The letters were white. Today I shot it again because the letters were painted beige and the frond was removed. As I was shooting it a guy asked me to help jump his car and asked me what I was taking pictures of. I said I shot the apartment building about a year ago and wanted a before and after. He looked at me blankly. La Ronde means "the round dance" and could reference a film (1950) a play (1897) or a number of other productions of different names in which people date around.

What we talk about when we talk about cozies stuck on grates

This image inspired six restaurant employees to come out the back door and give me very harsh looks and ask what I was doing and why, each employee calling in other employees further and further up the chain of command who all gave slightly harsher looks and asked the same question: why? To tell the truth, I don't know why. It is hard enough explaining why I wanted a picture of this sign (spur of the moment, general interest in signage, it plays on the idea of the red herring, I have nothing better to do on Easter, Dr. Seuss, green fish blue fish, the fact that next door there is a sign that says Green Cleaner Parking Only and I thought maybe I'll make a series of color-themed parking sign pictures), so I end up just promising it's not for anything really weird and the guy really doesn't look at all convinced but finally just gives up (he's talking to me through a fence by the way) and says "if you say so." The top review for Red Fish Kitchen on Yelp says "Not only does the food taste home-made but Gomer goes out of his way each and every time to make sure that I am satisfied." A little further down there is an entry from Gomer himself, who is apparently no longer with Red Fish, saying "Gomer was, is, and will be at red fish kitchen. After a year of going down and loosing his place Gomer makes a come back," and then leaves his contact info in case people are interested in having him cater an event sometime. His review gives The Red Fish only one star. What were the circumstances surrounding Gomer’s departure? And, What damage could possibly be done with an 80mb image of a parking sign?
