Thanks. Me too, obviously. . . :-)

Somehow you triggered a Sleater-Kinney memory. . . :-)

WOW! (o:

Hot and magical. Gorgeous and sweet. This picture is a love poem!

Loving eyes looking into loving eyes. Thanks so much for sharing a beautiful moment.

I wish I could say it that well. But at least I was there for the making of the photo. (I've decided that I don't "take" pictures: I "make" them with the people and things in them.)

I like that formulation much.

And this, this is the flash point in itself--the curve of her the place where desert heat breaks wide. She knows it so.

"The curve of her the place where desert heat breaks wide. She knows it so." Wow. That's pretty awesome.

Charlie, you take lots of really nice and/or cool pictures, but this is one of my favorites. I like it more than the one that K picked to put on her journal. This one has a more vulnerable look to it, for lack of a better word. Much more lovely than dastardly, to be sure, although you're a handsome devil yourself.

Why thank you! I picked first, so she had to go with a different shot. "Vulnerable" is a good word. The photographer of vulnerability is always a dastard. . . :-)

This has got to be the best picture you ever took. It's what In the Mood for Love would look like if it was made in Arizona.

Why thank you! I'm not sure it's the best picture I've ever _____, but it sure is the one that most makes me want to ____.

a very "cuban" look to it. I feel like there should be men dressed in white, smoking havana cigars at a table nearby.

Totally! Did you see the film The Five Obstructions, by Leth and Von Trier? It has a cool Cuban segment.
