my copy of Tom Petty’s “Wildflowers” skips
I just had coffee and doughnuts with the photographer from work. she’s very nice. she’s very religious. she’s kind of intense, but I like her. anyway, she’s not intense like my man here:

that photo was taken by Todd Krainin, who was the photographer at the Imperial Valley Press when I was there. he still is. Todd, who may or may not read this, was kind of a strange dude. just, just a little strange. but he was a nice guy and a hell of a photographer. with a really neat Web site.
also, he has a web log with the newspaper. and if you’re at all interested in this kind of stuff, he’s an OK writer, too.
Holy shit, Todd Krainin’s pictures are AMAZING. How old is that guy?
the old man in the picture or Todd? Todd’s, like, mid-thirties.
Thirty-five.
pretty close. hi, Todd!
