frankenpictures

These images were retrieved from the trash can of a friend's computer after an accidental dump of travel pics after my return to Canada in 2004. Some images were permanently lost. Some were retrieved. Some, in their temporary absence, had morphed into something new. As Spike told poor resurrected-against-her-will Buffy, they 'came back wrong'.

It was a learning experience, however traumatic. This is a hot medium and things can disappear instantaneously. Most of the pics I took over there were analog anyway, so the loss was not as bad as all that.


But here they are, all the same.

The thin stripe across the top of this one, festive red and green, is from the elf show in Hong Kong, Christmas, 2003.
The middle stripe is Stephane's beautiful jaw and mouth in Paris, our last night at dinner, June 2004.
Below that are skulls and bones from the catacombes, also in Paris.





On this one, the top half is of the bank of the Thames in London on March 1st, 2004. The river was quite low and Tom Bates and I were down on the floor of the Thames.
The bottom half is Christmas Eve, 2003 in Hong Kong. So much like New Year's Eve, it was kuh-razy.
