Young Surfer Boy
I’m fascinated by surfers! Here’s a young guy heading out to catch some waves.
Colors
In the heart of Five Points, is a great little hippie or “import” shop called Midnight Sun Imports. I love the rich and vibrant colors of these dresses (pictured, right) that were outside on the sidewalk. I love the smell of incense that resonates in the front of the store. Mmm Nap Champa…. take a moment. Can you smell it too?
I knew it was *love* when I entered for the first time and they were playing acoustic rockstar god/musical looping genius Keller Williams on the store’s speakers. I was a freaker right by the speaker yearning for double decker double-wides.
