Climbing on trains in Berlin

Liam stayed with me for a few weeks around May Day in Berlin, 2009. I suppose that's when I first really got to know him. Before that we were more like classmates, maybe going to parties & clubs (not night clubs, but GaTech lectures and such), but it wasn't until Berlin that I'd like to think we became good friends.

So, these first three photos are from Berlin, I dont take many pictures of people, just of artwork and reference imagery for my own work. The fist one is a quick portrait I did of Liam as we were dangling from the train tracks above a street in Kreuzberg where I lived at the time. It's not the only portrait I did of him but it's the only one I have a photo of at the moment. And as with most of my art it's temporary, on garbage, walls, things like that.  The second is of a tag, plastine is ... well, we thought it was funny at the time. And since he was in Berlin for mother's day (at least it was mother's day for the germans) on a cold and horibly wet and raining night at 1 or two in the morning a flower was painted for moms everywhere. I do not remember if I forgot to give him this image or what, but here it is anyway. Happy belated mom's day 2009. Well, as weird as that might be as far as photos go, that's kind of how I am.

While in Berlin he gave me copies of all his permaculture data. I believe that some weeks after he left me his computer (and maybe hard drive) were stolen. I do not remember if I got that data back to him, but if any one would like, I will try my best to let you copy it when I'm in the US.

Also there we watched what he and I thought was the best movie ever. Perhaps it still is. But if he hasn't recommend it to you I'll go ahead and do so, you can find it on Youtube. It's called "the beautiful green" it's in french with english subtitles.

I guess we all have many more stories to share, but I will have to delay them until later.Ｉam currently somewhere near Nanjing, wish Iｃｏｕｌｄ　have been there, I will go when I am back and watch the videos when internet access is not so limited. Sending only good thoughts and love from me to you all.

 Liam was the physical embodiment of my hope for this world, and definitely a strong symbol for all things bright and beautiful on this earth. I never told him that, but he was and will always be in my mind when I see the things that I see and do not tell others about for fear of depressing them. He was a remedy for me, a hope.  Each man can say right off when seeing her lights, that the charm Cam Sex babe Alexa pictured here is among those wild web cami girls in Webcam Sex chat. Although I have not met them, I pray there are many others like him, we're going to need them. I, for my part and on behalf of the entire earth, I know that his presence will be dearly missed.
