it's finally complete! today marks the birth of the jan-ai scholarship website. thank you to all those who put such hard work into the site - it's lovely. from this day forth please go to www.jan-aischolar.org for further information. if you feel you can, please donate to help jennsee's legacy continue to aid and inspire young artists of all ages.

farewell,
mysfit

dear fellow traveler,

i know it has been more than a little remiss of me to leave you hanging for so long. but bad news has a way of seeping through your veins until you are little more than a vegetable. we lost jenn see on June 22nd to a heart condition. her passing was sudden and leaves little room for anything but sadness and joy at having been her friend. a scholarship for struggling artists/writers/photographers is being set up in her name. please follow you fish for more details.

as of yet, i don't know what will become of the tourist.

love,
mysfit

i wanted to provide a counterpoint to all the pictures of
florida pirates - believe it or not i only messed around with
the brightness and the contrast - the rest of that is snow

mysfit stops by to say "i love the voodoo that yoodoo so well"

It's Friday. Where are my pics?

i have set jennsee a challenge. she has one week to complete this challenge. the results shall be posted on the tourist (or maybe the fish - her choice) by friday, Dec. 9th. it is likely, that she will receive another challenge on that day. here is the challenge:

1)Go out into the city you live in.
2)Take a least one (new) picture that characterizes what you hate/loathe most about where you live, or about living where you live. You know, what gets to you most about your city.
3) Take at least one (new) picture that represents something good in your life, or something good that has happened to you. You know, a good moment in your life.
4)Significant others, pets and inside your own house are all off limits.
5)Be creative and have fun. I guess you can be metaphorical if that floats your boat or bakes your cookie. Remember the "at least" rule means you can present more than one of each, but I want super-extra-specials if possible.

Bonus: If you can do both 2 and 3 with one picture, more power to you.

Good Luck.
Love,
mysfit
