I'm obsessed with images of empty pools. Actually, I'm obsessed with pools in general. On my weekend walk with the pooch l past by an empty public pool. It makes me think winter is for jerks to see something so lonely and cold. See, I'm a big fan of the summer and spending quality time poolside. Nothing makes me happier except for maybe shopping and chicken mole enchiladas. Oh and lemon cupcakes.
Have a look at American photographer J Bennett Fitts and Japan's Taro Hirano, my two favorite photographers taking a little inspiration from Dogtown and Z-Boys.

Where to begin?? Dogtown and Z-Boys, now that congures up old memories. The days before extreme sports.. skate boards home made out of plywood chunks and skate rollers screwed to the bottom... lots of cuts and bruises. The empty pools are somewhat haunting with their quiet clam just calling out for someone to fill it with clear cool water and have children jump and play inside. I see myself waiting patiently with tha enchillada and cold Corona. Come on summer get here soon.. drive away the winter blues. Mary
