Smiley

This is one of my grandmother's dogs. I call her Yim Yim ("Smile smile").

Trash Puppy

This is my 'trashy' continuation of Chinitas' "Marlboro Corpses" post (05/26/09). This was actually taken in 2002 in Bangkok! I was walking by an abandoned property (which always ends up turning into a dumping ground unfortunately) and saw this little one sitting in the middle of that pile. I managed to snap this before he/she scampered off to play with a sibling.

I like that its the same piece of land but has such a clear divide –notice that the front half is all black and gray trash while the back is all completely lush and green. Felt like a sort of commentary on where we are as humans progress more and leave what used to be the planet behind or something.

Also, this was taken on a 2 megapixel Olympus point and shoot. WHOAH now! 2????

Siamese Gargoyles

This is the front of my house in Thailand where we have a few "guardians" keeping watch. On the very left is the traditional Spirit House –a place for the spirits who watch over and take care of everyone on the home's property to hang out. And next to that we have our resident gargoyles on alert. This may not be the best pic ever taken, but its definitely one of my own favorites when I miss Thailand.
