More Portraits from the Slabs

This year saw the arrival at the Slabs of two French
girls, Lola and Naomi. 


They created a mural at the hostel and had 
a party to unveil it and to say adieu before 
their departure. Here it is in progress :

The late afternoon sunlight made a great opportunity 
to shoot portraits of friends from Slab City.

Balu...

...and the girls.

Earl and the girls.


Was it good for you?

Greetings from the Bleeding Edge of the Apocalypse

If you stay in the desert long enough, 
you start to become one with it.

This beautiful palo verde died from disrespect.
