the bookstore, called Recycled i think, is on north locust street in denton.  it’s in an old opera house.  it’s really mazy, like the antique store in downtown carrollton.  but more so.

so this week my aim is to take photos on a roll of film… with only  my fisheye lens on.  yeah.

okay, i am not gonna put tons of photos of our trip to nm/az. only people who know me should be reading this, and if you know me, and have a facebook, you are probably my friend on facebook. and can look at photos there, if you are so inclined. and, if you have not become enlightened to knowledge of the facebook world, i will email you a link to them. because there you can look at them.

it is such a pain to upload the same photos to everything.

and, clara, this post is in honor of what you just enlightened me about.
