Take roses from my garden,
Cherries from my cake,
Take all the many kisses that
With a magic moon I’d make…
But don’t dare you the heart
On my garage door break!

Realism in the streets.
It’s at 168 Higgins, and it’s so real Sherrie and I drove by the first time without a second glance. We got it the second time around.

Sherrie and I had a really fun lunch at the “Hard Rock Cafe” then head out to grab a few murals in the hood.
You gotta love this one at “Now” magazine HQ’s!
NXNE is not the artist, it’s a music, film, interactive and comedy festival.
It’s a hard one to shoot. It’s just so big & high, and I had a hard time finding focal points.
So I decided to be as crazy as the mural!

1914 – Charlie Chaplin stayed in this hotel, which is now a scum bucket.
I did a Post on the mural of Charlie Chaplin that resides in the parking lot.
It is a special building with special murals.
Do you think the harmonica player depicted above is Junior Wells?
B.B. King
Robert Johnson
It’s nothing but the blues!
I was fortunate to shoot this “paper doll” of Charlie Chaplin on a balcony, but it was almost a storm when I did. His effigy had blown over.

This 16 year old mural on Henderson Hi-way is on the side wall of Roxy Lanes, a bowling alley.
It’s scarred, peeling & crumbling from the brutal winters. It’s constantly bleaching under the intense prairie sun. I love it.
I took these shots over a year ago. I wonder what it looks like now?

Chainsaw Girl is at the end of “The Mother Lode”.
Sherrie saw her first.
Chainsaw Girl is almost as cute as Sherrie.
Looking back on the last of the graf.
This looks like a heart to me, however it figures in,
