Zebra spotted in

Well Zebra was in hibernation for about 2 months from making the long trip to Milwaukee. But then for a week I went on the road with my dad who is a truck driver. I took a pic of the mirror on the truck...kinda hard to describe...going foward looking backward
I tried to pass it off to a lady in a truck stop but she thought I was nuts (which I am anyway) so I told the waitress about it and she said I could leave it on the counter for the next person who sat there. So now Zebra is in the trucking community...God only knows where he will end up.
P.S It was either in OH or IN where I left him...could not remember

Owl spotted in

When I got the camera, being a photographer I was very much excited. It's a wonderful idea!! I lived in Phoenix at the time and just wanted to take something that was not desert. I took a picture of a man playing with a bango in front of the library. More interesting then it sounds, just wait to see. I had to share the camera with those so far away, to see what they see. Since I haven't been there myself. It should have travelled to London and Sydney, and shortly the Owl will be flying back to the states. Where I will receive it again in my new location of Los Angeles, I will hand it over to someone else once again. I'm very excited to see the pictures. I hope they are as imaginative as the idea of the camera itself.
Good jobs folks.

fiction :::
a shot of the daily bugle's
stale, monochromatic, dismally gray
newspaper office where peter parker,
photographer at large, works.
i went to visit parker
to score information on
spiderman, friendly neighborhood spiderman,
but instead encountered a row of empty desks
upon which days-old bagels sat in decay.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
nonfiction :::
chimp, the camera, arrived during my last days in miami,
which were actually spent in pretendland theme parks with my family: mom, sis and friend.
knowing that i would not have the time to
photograph
elian gonzalez?s shrine in little havana
before my departure,
i took the first shot
in a universal studio's theme park, orlando
(is it really raining?) and
have since then passed chimp on to my sister.
psst. .
come closer. . .
closer
here?s a secret
not to be told to anyone . . .
i actually had
fun at the
damn theme park.

Wombat spotted in
Fort Lupton, CO

Interstate 70, mile marker 73. About halfway between Effingham and Vandalia, IL. Westbound.
I was hoping to take Wombat photo #24 a bit further west down this same stretch of road, but three months have passed and I?m still just ricocheting about the Midwest. I never feel quite as lucid as I do pushing 80 across the interstate with the windows down, greasing the wheels of my imagination, the vibration of the road sifting free the dust of dead thoughts that have accumulated between my neural synapses, and the wind creating a vacuum to suck them out the window. So here I am cutting through the heartland on a 250+ mile stretch of road I could drive in my sleep, left hand on the steering wheel, right, pen in hand -
Glance Rearview.
Glance Front Window.
Jot down thought.
Glance Speedometer.
Glance Rearview.
Glance Front Window.
Jot down thought.
Glance Cop.

(In case you would like to attempt such a feat, I recommend felt-tipped or uni-ball pens.)
Prairie bleeds into farmland bleeds into forest bleeds into stagnant swamp foaming neon green sludge bleeds into the rolling hills of a garbage dump bleeds into city bleeds into urban sprawl bleeds into farmland bleeds into prairie. The world becomes your own moving diorama. Or one of those *movies* you made as a kid with a roll of paper, a shoe-box with a rectangular viewing hole cut out, and two pencils for spindles.
Wombat photo #24 is scene 73.
...now enroute to Fort Lupton, CO.
