Help me!

Really now. I have a new idea but cannot start new book until old book is completed.
8 copies left. Just 8. Call your friends, enemies, grab random strangers on the street.
Help me set these free!



This one matters to me.

A day at the Zoo

Zoo in rain. Animals, despite being what I consider waterproof, do not frolic in the rain. They go inside just like people. Except me. Get to zoo. Buy souvenir umbrella. Do not buy map because maps should be free. In first 40 minutes discover locale of parking lots A + B. Return to store. Buy souvenir map.

In 3 1/2 hrs. I saw 2 zebra butts (they would not turn around despite my calls of 'Hey Zebra!' - I know they heard me). 2 wild horses (which look just like regular horses) and the chipmunk and squirrel habitat which would have irked me were it not for the arrow shaped sign pointing to it which said 'This way to the nut hunters.'

*It is possible I saw an elephant. It was about 100 yards away in a raging downpour and I have poor eyesight but it certainly resembled an elephant, either that or a very large rock.

No pandas in the large panda habitat. 1 panda inside white cubicle facing the wall. No face, no paws, just panda butt. After several minutes I could not discern the panda breathing-due either to the thickness of its' coat or perhaps it was dead. I walk past Panda Mart, Panda Market, Panda Store to arrive at Panda Plaza where I check out the menu of Panda Grill to see if there is Panda on the menu. No

Then I lose my wallet with my driver's license, bank card and I pod touch on the train ride home. I knew there was a reason why I seldom go out.

Dark, Darker, Darkest

The books are winding down. Only a handful left. Do not let 'Silence' languish. These need a home.
Go here. Do it now. http://lauren-rabbit.blogspot.com/2011/04/silence-is-secret-to-sanity-19-images.html

And for the most current of events:

Idle Hands

Our hapless heroine has no idea what she is going to do.


The Operating Theater

No good can come of this.

Books! Heat, books, heat...

It is too hot to shoot.
I've been folding paper and hiding from the sun for over a week.


Pretty, pretty.

It is over 90 in my house.
I just cannot seem to see anything at that temperature.
And from time to time I walk into the basement, which is cool, and stare at my darkroom sink, and sigh.
I cannot wait for Fall.

Time Counts

Mortality has been uncomfortably on my mind lately.

The Devil's Alphabet

Terribly ill for over 3 1/2 weeks, I could barely move so I resurrected the Devil for barter.
The full alphabet is displayed by my gallery here: www.edelmangallery.com/simonutti/devils_alphabet/simonutt...
