"Gargoyles and Bric-a-Brac"
I took a side trip to Oxford, and was enchanted by all the Gargoyles! This was one of many random Oxford Kodachrome transparencies (scanned) I took in April, 1989.
I was visiting our UK office, in Aylesbury.

"Buick (One)"
Taken in Seattle in April 1983. These are the actual colors!😍😌 It was shortly after sundown. I do somewhat remember taking this photo. I believe I was waiting for Bobby Roman to get off work, so that we could bar hop.

Jimmy Heacock was a yet another gay Mormon, who after a stint in the USAF and attempt at heterosexuality, came out. He now lives In Kamuela, Hawaii. He was VERY funny, and loved Elton John!

It took me overnight, digging through old memories, to remember that this WAS intentionally taken at night, with an open shutter. I was standing in the Castro, of San Francisco.
So this is a #Queerart photo.🏳️🌈
"Hotel Westin St. Francis on Union Square"
I took this in October 1982, in San Francisco during a work related trip.
🤔Just now, I remembered getting picked up in the early 1970s, by a 19 year old black guy when I was 18, in Union Square. He took me to (one)

"Lawrence (Lonnie) Odell Bennett (Two)"
I took two photos of him that long ago 1970's day. I got him to smile for me. I was 21, and he was 23 or 24.
Scanned from a forgotten B&W photo negative, using my new scanner. This photo is precious to me.

"Lawrence (Lonnie) Odell Bennett"
Scanned from a B&W photo negative, using my new scanner.
Lonnie was my first, true love boyfriend. We were utterly different personalities, temperaments, interests, and intellects. Vive la différence!
I had forgotten all about (one)

"Greta"
I painted this piece right after my 19th birthday. It has traveled with me, and hung in every place I have ever lived after moving out on my own. Seven homes, seven walls.
The painting was greatly inspired by this iconic picture of Greta Garbo +

"From the Land of the Midnight Sun"
I painted this imaginary guy when I was 19. This took me about one hour. I am quick.
One of my twitter mutuals looked strikingly like this when he was young. So, I say that I painted his portrait before the fact!

September 2016 - Geologically, this is an extremely interesting area. It features volcanism, and upheavals of the earth's crust exposing a rare wedge of Jurassic-age rocks. Mystical! 😍

September 2016 I was in Anacortes on my way to Canada. There is something mystical about this place. I literally feel it in my brain waves. Seriously sacred.
