Pictures for Dimitri
….and, of course, for you , too!
Some pictures from the Scentbar…
 where we were chatting with famous writers (see glass mirror), while the W.-factor was taking pictures (again:see window’s glass mirror)…
Where we had fun…
before leaving for…
Joshua Tree again!
 this time camping…
watching the sky….
observing the rare (very!) and shy (extreme) bighorn sheep (Ovis candensis nelsoni)
or watching foxes ( vulpes macrotis arsipus)

and wonderful plants….

looking over breath taking sceneries…

Towards San Diego, moving on, we saw birds over Salton sea

burnt trees in Cleveland forest

… just to return to the scent bar….

for some sniffing…

to have fun again….

Oh, you must have had a great time there.. sharing your perfumes and your knowledge and camping in such wonderful surroundings.
Also nice to see both you and the W.-factor in the window :)

Looks wonderful - everyone seems to be happy and to enjoy. Charming sceneries…
Well, Andy, was it a business trip or a vacation? Or was it a nice business trip that feels like vacation?”;-)

Dear Helg
Thank you and fragrant greetings from happy andy with his big belly thanks to many steaks.
Dear Scentscelf
Indeed, I am happy and had -I think- as much fun as my perfume loving friends.
Dear Simone
I am happy these days….absolutely no reason to complain indee!
Dear Chayaruchama
I was thinking in you while being in LA, thinking about the last NY trip…so long ago already. I need to plan for a stop at the East coast the next time. It would be nice…
Dear AromaX
The W.-factor made sure it was a lot of vacation framed with a touch of work, just a touch, in order not to forget its taste ;-)
Dear Marianne
Fragrant greetings to you and I hope you liked Mr. Burr in the window, too ;-)

Ah mr. Burr… of course! I like his perfume reviews in the NY Times/T-magazine.

BEAUTIFUL photos Andy!
Im touched to have you mention me by name :) The soirée at scentbar looks fantastic, and your scenes from the rugged outdoors are truly majestic. My personal fave… the wonderful plant picture!
Thank you so much for sharing these Andy.
Hugs from Denmark!

Hi, which camera did you use for your great reportage?
October 24th, 2008 at 5:35 am
Hi Marcello
I have a Nikon D80, but I am not so sure that the camera makes a difference. Well, maybe it helps at least finding some focus ;-)
