Please Help Tibet

As someone who has been to many corners of this world, I will say that there is nowhere I've ever been that could be more foreign and more magical then Tibet. Yet the connection I feel to this place, since visiting Tibet two years ago, is impossibly powerful and real. When I see images like this one it literally kills me. The people of Tibet were more welcoming, more caring, more genuine and real, more compassionate and beautiful than any other people I've ever encountered. Whoever you are, wherever you are, please educate yourself and others about the oppression in Tibet. The crimes committed against the people of Tibet by the Chinese and the Chinese Government are unforgivable. Something needs to be done to stop the violence and long term cultural so called "cleansing" once and for all.

Killer Rabbit

There are many fabled stories surrounding the green car pictured below.
I believe it was a 1985? vw rabbit gti that my friends and I had decided to make into our own rally car.
Mike and Rus picked it up for like 100 bucks, drove it home, dumping the entire contents of its interior on someone's front lawn (including the title) something that would come back to haunt them not too long after... They drove it to our friend Danny's house, which was always a safe haven for guns, cars, drugs, driving, and the combination of all of these things due to the fact that Danny's parents were never around.
Anyway we painted it Quaker State green, and the rest of the story is too long and crazy to write on the blog. Stay tuned for my memoirs in about 40 years I'll finish the story. Anyway thanks to Rus finding these old polaroids.

Manudo

Once in a blue moon I'll pick up this one camera I own and pop a shot off. It's a zeiss camera from the thirties or forties, anyway it's old and I normally don't use it. I had a roll of film sitting in my pencil box for like a year and finally when I processed all the film from america I threw it in there...
This is Chris aka Manute aka Pipe aka Manudo aka TBD....

I know it's been a long time...

But not that many people really read this blog anyway so big deal.
I made myself a promise though, and that's to post more, more often...
I just got back from a road trip to see America. And that I did. I feel like a foreigner in my own country at times. Yet having been on nearly every corner of this earth in my short life, I wouldn't want to come home to any other country in the world.
here are some snaps from the trip, the real shots are being picked through and edited as I write this.
I went with my buddy Jay (www.jay-hanna.com) he's a photographer also. We managed to sit next to each other for nearly two weeks without killing one another. In fact, we had a great time and became closer than before (no homo)
anyway enjoy the pics

When you gotta go.....
