whole earth festival 2007

every spring the experimental college puts on a hippie festival called whole earth. in 07 sara and karl joined us and we explored it together. i had a lot of fun last week fixing these up in photoshop, because they were (and may be still) all so godawful.


karl really blows, ya know?

the acroyoga was very neat (and the girls pretty hot):

i really want to know if you can figure out what i’ve done to this picture.


also whether you like this crop or the full, surreal “flying feet” version.


and then some people (including jay!) put on a wheelbarrow dance for us.


this kid rocks.


apply on ken’s ass!


karl vs. a pine cone.


even more old home pics


my lame attempt at a family portrait. i don’t think kitsune would tolerate one the same way gidge did.


heyyy it’s the goat skull joe gave us and was subsequently stolen!


right after we buried it


i have put this one up before but recently redid the curves on it


defies explanation


playing pictionary


this is how gidget played


the pig files

here are some old pictures of our guinea pigs, stark and scully.

first off, a series we’re building on that showcases guinea pigs in their first and truest roles: as food animals.

ok now onto kinder things…

and a happy halloween from 2006:


state fair 2005

i don’t think i ever posted this but here are some pictures from ken’s and my first trip to the ca state fair back in ’05:

the fair, in a nutshell

TEH STAIT FAR WELCOMS U

livestock nursery

we got to hold baby piggies at the nursery. well actually the same baby piggy. ken tends to hold baby piggies gently…

while i apparently tend to form impromptu hiphop groups with them, their caretakers and random passersby.

the guy wouldn’t just let me milk the goat alone. i wasn’t doing a bad job, honestly. I HAD MILKED BEFORE YOU KNOW.

WET AND WILD live animal showcase orwhateveritwascalled

i got to hold my favorite owl! hee!

this is what happens when you raise your hand for the mystery animal.

insert obvious inappropriate joke here

arts

best art piece ever

the caption says “one in the same”. uh. right.

petting zoo!

Generous Llama doesn’t mind giving shade to the needy.

the audacity of some of these hungry animals was just outrageous. here’s a deer performing the famous human trick, “checking to see if there’s anything left in the vending machine”.

the goats, though, were clearly worse.

“here deer. plz don’t eat my hand plz”

nothing can cheer up Sad Kanga.

assorted fair attractions

there are some frightening county exhibits at this thing. like, yeah, i really want to come to your county so that i can be nommed by this FRIGHTENING SUN-ORANGE THING.

…

animul exhibits

that’s it!


skiing at boreal

i think this was boreal anyway. 2007. see, i’m working on these things little by little.

this reminds me of an x-files episode– terma i think? where the ufo rose up out of the ice?

boreal does night skiing. it rocked 🙂

we even saw a bear.


a g-g-g-g-g-ghost!

so i don’t normally believe in this paranormal crap but i get the funniest feeling there’s something… off about my scanner. like something… or someone rather, i guess… is haunting it. i took these pictures using a special camera and was blown away by the results! i think i even know the guy; did a portrait of him once. hugh…. lorry?

i wonder what he wants? maybe when i scanned in his portrait some of his essence got captured as well?

what do you guys think?
