Hi everybody. Welcome to the blog where I talk about my past. You know, I lived in Australia for a long time. It was great living there. I really liked the different animals that are there. For example, my neighbor saw a huge reptile in the backyard. She called up the zoo, the newspapers and it turned into a big thing. The zookeeper came over and it turned out to be a plastic toy from next door. She was a little embarrassed, needless to say. One time I was in the outback, you know, in a four wheel drive, driving down the road toward the sunset. I came up over the ridge and I saw a real strange creature in front of me. It had a big long face, big eyes, two long legs and it was just staring at me. It looked like an alien. Then there was another one and another. I thought Oh my god, they're aliens. It turns out they were camels facing me. I couldn't see the rest of their body. Only their front legs. It kind of freaked me out. It was a land of plenty of strange animals. Big crocodiles, big sharks, never a dull moment, I'll tell you.
It was a great place for a young photographer. Plenty of editorial, you know, magazine work. I don't know where young photographers start now. My friend said anywhere and I agree. My friend here says I was lucky to be there then, and I was. My friend got me a visa, I don't know how he got it but it was a visa they only issued to someone like the queen or someone like that, so every time I left Australia, they would say, "Who are you?" I never did ask him where he got the visa from.
I'm not gonna blog anymore cause my little one's here. Let's pick out a random cartoon to share with you. You know, I used to always keep my journals in cartoon form. I'll have my friend pick one out. Talk to you guys next week. Love, B. Nice
