Derek's photo blog of life in Charm City, featuring Pete & Cesky & Cattina, with special guest appearances by a rogues gallery of friends. Drama. Fun. Coffee. Usually a Cingular 8125 cameraphone, sometimes something better.

Amazing film.... The tagline 'your greatest creation is the life you lead' resonates so deeply for gay & lesbian people, yet it's not a particularly 'gay' film. Deeply moving portrait of a troubled family dealing with mental illness...highly recommended.
