Thom — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 08:01:40 +0000

Ida at Idathue has a cool meme going on. The challenge goes something like this: 12 weeks. 12 strangers = 12 portraits. Here are the particulars direct from her blog:

Rules:

1.: the person I take the picture of must be a stranger.

2.: show the pictures here every Tuesday for the next 12 weeks.

Bonus points for actually stopping a person and asking if I can take his/her picture.

I’d love it if you’d play along too. There’s nothing quite as inspiring as a little group support and pressure

See you here next Tuesday.

Down at Kapiolani Park every once in a while this stranger sits and plays his Sax. He is teaching himself, doesn’t read music and agreed to have his picture taken. He’s a pleasure to listen to. This is the 12th and final stranger that I will be posting. It’s been fun and I hope you have enjoyed this as much as I have participating in it.

Lisa and I went to Sandy Beach last Friday and a group of people showed up. One of the girls, from France didn’t have any slippers on and they were walking out on the rocks. So I said here use mine and threw them to her. After a while they returned and I asked her for her picture. I hope you enjoy.

From the Tsunami that occurred last month, I went down to Kuliouou Park with Lisa as many of you not from a previous post and there were some other people there and I just took pictures. I didn’t say anything but this picture they knew the camera was pointed at them. So oh well. I hope you enjoy.

You might have seen this fence before. As I was taking the photos this nice lady and her husband were walking by and I asked them for their picture by the flower. She readily agreed. Not so much him LOL. I like this photo real well. The Lady In Red! I love her smile. I hope you enjoy.

I was at Waikiki Beach and thought there are plenty of strangers around here. And yes, after asking around I decided on these three to share. What I like about these is when I was taking the photos I asked them to just act normal. Do what they would be doing before I took the picture. I think they came out pretty well. And on the last one I almost got the famous plumbers crack!! LOL Awww the joys of Waikiki Beach. I hope you enjoy.

When that little tart Ella was visiting the Islands late last year we made a stop at the Halona Blow Hole. While there this lady came up and introduced herself as Mary to us. She was enthralled with Ella as she has Radar O’Teddy and his girlfriend Maureen O’Beara. Well of course Ella wanted her picture with the stranger named Mary and she obliged. Enjoy!

This post is in Loving Memory of Dr. John at Dr. John’s Fortress February 15, 2010

Rest In Peace my friend.

Dr. John’s last words on his blog: “We could call it ” Life Goes On Anyway!”". In his honor is this post.

Thank you Dr. John and Fandango for your last words on my blog. I will cherish them always as well as every other comment you made.

Dr John – January 21, 2010:

“I ended up as an elephant and after I lost all that weight.
You are strong and wise. You have a lot of power and a lot of endurance.
You are an affectionate and sensitive person. It’s important that you take care of those you love.

You have a soft spot in your heart for anyone or anything that’s helpless. You are very compassionate.
You try to live a good life and be a good person. You believe that it’s important to be able to live with your decisions.”

Fandango: – January 28, 2010:

“WE dragons are all laughing and hard. You are as great as we always knew you were.”

So here is my entry. My last night in Seattle we went to Ivar’s on Pier 54 for dinner. Our waitress there talked so fast and was buzzing all about. At first we thought what have we gotten ourselves into. She was like the Tasmanian Devil on roller skates. Well she’s just efficient and knows her stuff. Was very pleasant and very thorough. I asked her for her picture and she obliged. She is pictured with my brother and my niece.
