El Nido, Palawan
Photo by Sloan Schang, 26 December 2007
A slice of one of the "chill out" islands owned by the five star El Nido resorts in Palawan, Philippines. On this day, it was completely deserted, except for the film crew working on French "Survivor." Tres bien.

Bolivia sad little girl, Bolivia Mother Earth, Bolivia sacred land of the Indigenous, Bolivia without a sea, Bolivia making faces at the gringos, Bolivia coca-growing, peaceful, schizodelic. Bolivia, a place where you feel part of the Jet Set; a place where you feel you’re the worst garbage in the world.

Argentina: Mate, mozzarella, women, soccer fever, blue sky and infinite, straight highways. Buenos Aires: Humidity, a beautiful worry-free woman, soft skin of the New World without the second-degree burns you can get in Rio, Lima or Bogotá.

Still Life in Glacier
Photo by seanie blue, 29 November 2007
Just nearby, a few hours away from this pristine patch of Glacier, is a mine gone bad, and executives come from all over the world to study the mining practices which now threaten the glistening waters running off these hills into rivers like the Flathead.

She's a big-name model in Hollywood now, but she grew up in a swirl of vermiculite dust, breathing it in with the rest of her family. Out of dozens of family members, only Murphy and her brother and an aunt have survived, and all three have the smooth walls in their lungs which portend disaster.
