Nice interface, but mediocre photos, IMHO.

The Guatemalan dump photos have me on the edge of tears.

I like how she uses natural light and what is up with that poor cat?

Me too LarryC.

OK, two things I want for Christmas: A library S&M room and a vending machine that dispenses vibrators. I gotta move to Japan.

I really loved this. The EasTex folks -- I know those people. And Hello Kitty? I need to get out more.

Thanks much.

I was trying to suss the ETex locations. I've been to wherever the funeral home/Chinese restaurant pic was--I'm guessing Pittsburg/Mt Pleasant area, but not sure...
