Mobile Evolution: It always cracks me up to see old (huge) cell phones, and the fact that someone created these nesting boxes (like the classic Russian nesting dolls) makes me laugh even more!

photography changes your brain
I have a theory that the way a human brain develops now is different than how it developed before the age of photography. Before photos, children grew up and had memories of their childhood based on shared experience and the power of story.   Now, for better and for worse, we have photographic evidence of our past - and we have pictures that evoke pain, sadness, anger, joy, pleasure and pride...

buy a shirt, get an album too

where are the seals?
So my friend Mike pointed out, rightly so, that the last photo I posted (mobile) was too low-res to really see the seals.  They are all over the rocks but they are hard to see. Look closely at the previous post and look in the middle of the picture on the left side…there are two light-colored seals laying with their dark faces pointing to the left. Memo to Mike: I will get a better phone...
