I'm married to Anton Krajnc, the "Monster" - I mean "Master!", of course (don't mind my accent!) - and I have tried very hard to make this webpage interesting, fun and informative. (It is my first one!)
(The photograph was taken in the main square of Pietrasanta, world-famous Italian town of marble and sculptors.)
I'm a photographer/writer with extensive archives of Seventies Rock groups and other treasures... My work has been published in many international magazines and books on Elvis, David Bowie, Elton John, Rod Stewart, etc. (By the way, I'm looking for a publisher for my own book on Seventies ROCK Phenomena!!)
My first "serious/not serious" job was company photographer for the Musical 'HAIR'
in New York and Munich. It was a fascinating time... More about that on the next page!
We shall be updating and adding other links as time goes on.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
Here's a poem by Eliza Octavia Gaden Friar (b. May 24, 1988):
Happiness tastes like Jello
The taste of Jello feels like giggles
The feeling of giggles smells like jellybeans
The smell of jellybeans sounds like keys
The sound of keys looks like diamonds
:-) Here's my thought for the day (-:

Randomly added thoughts and ruminations, whenever I come across them, in 1999:
Some advice to get you off to a good start:
Live Life, Feel Love, Give Hugs, and Laff Lots !!!
Work like you don't need the money
Love like you've never been hurt
Dance as if no one's looking
Always stay a step ahead of the storm -
AND
If life gives you lemons, make lemonade, and call a friend.
And now let's ruminate:
A conscience is what hurts you when all other parts feel so good ...
(ANONYMOUS, of course!)
He who laughs last, thinks slowest!

Stop killing bacteria - they're the only culture some people have.

you grow old because you stop laughing.
