mar de cortes baja

if you ever felt the need for a blog that provided great images from film noir ... great images from victorian painting, occasional travelogues, discussions of the deeper meanings of the works of hitchcock, welles, john ford, etc, etc ... you could do worse than delve in to mar de cortes baja ... i was transfixed for hours ... although occasionally there were uncomfortable little reminders of domestic frailties




we're packing up to move ... only a couple of blocks away ... i'm willing to bet that certain things will be packed last of all ...
