Snappie snap snap



Spent yesterday driving around town with Sharyn. We checked out homes that are on a "dirty dozen" list cited for all of the trash and junk vehicles in the yards. Talked to some really interesting people and saw some pretty run down homes. One place even had dead gold fish hanging in zip-locks above the front door. Really strange stuff. Some of the people we talked to were a little off. Can't say for sure if they are meth heads or not, but cops did make it seem like drug trafficking had some influence on making examples of those properties. The ladies in these two photos were one of the first places that we stopped at. They've already taken away 14 truck loads of trash and have probably that many more loads to go. From the yard we could see inside the front door of their double-wide and could see that it was filled with trash as well. And they had a half-dozen pit bull puppies in the back. Interesting place. But Molly and her daughter Amber Dawn were really open to talking with us about their situation and answered everything we asked. I was surprised at that.


More kids! Went to the rollerdome and had about 50 kids swarming my camera and hamming it up like nobody's business. Got the okay to come back for other skate sessions though.
