Sportsmobile, eat a dick!!

Sportsmobiles are pretty bad ass, whether it's the 4x4 van, or the sweet truck with campershell. However, they're $100 grand or more, which is waaaaaay out of the price range for us working class folk. Above, we have my car, which was $17 grand, and Kevin's new 4 person tent that he picked up for $130...not bad, especially when your roommate is such a gangster.

10-day - santa cruz island - holga shots

So we went out on a 10-day trip to the Channel Islands, our means of travel being Corsair, the 36 foot sailboat that sleeps on our dock. It was Rossi's birthday trip, and what a trip at that! We were at Santa Cruz for a few days, then to Rosa, then San Miguel for 4 days, then back to Rosa for a night, then back to Santa Cruz for the last few days.

We were surfing, sailing, hiking, diving, cliff jumping, adventuring, drinking, eating, cursing, kayaking, sleeping, napping, dancing, and oh so much more. It was the best vacation ever: no family to create tension, no women to create tension, and no deadlines/appointments except for start and end dates...boys' trip with so much freedom - oooh, bald eagle!

They were four of us: Ross, Ian Jay, RP and myself. In terms of ways to capture the trip, we were pretty set: 2-jesus phones (video), 2-medium format camera's, 2-35mm SLR's, a digital SLR, and a waterproof digital point and shoot.

I had a Holga, a Mamiya C33, and a Canon Elan 7. Here are a few of the Holga shots from the first leg of the trip on Santa Cruz Island:

Ian, you are the man!

RP on dishes in lil visitor - look at them primary colors!!

Most of all - thank you to Bobby Bushnell for letting us use his beloved sailboat Corsair. This was the best vacation I've ever been on, and I/we owe that all to Mr. B. Thanks mang!!

...more to come.

boiled octopus

so let's make this more of a story...

koichi drove from arizona to join us the other weekend for a joshua tree-integrabooster-birthday extravaganza in the desert. he arrives friday morning with no camping gear, no food, not even any shorts. i gave him a pair of really short shorts, and he ended in those without a t-shirt passed out in the middle of the desert, with empty beer bottles and a puddle of drool around him...and later a nice sun burn. apparently, 'boiled octopus' is the japanese way of describing a really bad sunburn. the rest of the weekend, koichi was asking people if they wanted to see his boiled octopus and immediately pulling his pants down...god damn japanese pranksters!! i love it!!!

proper kitchen attire

joshua tree fun round 1

i believe we killed a few sixers and a bottle of jameson's in 4 or 5 hours, during which we rode back to the campsite on top of the truck - our driver was standing and driving with his body out the window - he took this picture while doing so:

our driver with a hangover and a hatchet and a shit eating grin:

who knew the desert had some sick slabs:

yes, that guy is peeing in the background, and yes, he is wearing a bright green tutu:
