Bill Murray on Gilda Radner:

“Gilda got married and went away. None of us saw her anymore. There was one good thing: Laraine had a party one night, a great party at her house. And I ended up being the disk jockey. She just had forty-fives, and not that many, so you really had to work the music end of it. There was a collection of like the funniest people in the world at this party. Somehow Sam Kinison sticks in my brain. The whole Monty Python group was there, most of us from the show, a lot of other funny people, and Gilda. Gilda showed up and she’d already had cancer and gone into remission and then had it again, I guess. Anyway she was slim. We hadn’t seen her in a long time. And she started doing, “I’ve got to go,” and she was just going to leave, and I was like, “Going to leave?” It felt like she was going to really leave forever.

So we started carrying her around, in a way that we could only do with her. We carried her up and down the stairs, around the house, repeatedly, for a long time, until I was exhausted. Then Danny did it for a while. Then I did it again. We just kept carrying her; we did it in teams. We kept carrying her around, but like upside down, every which way—over your shoulder and under your arm, carrying her like luggage. And that went on for more than an hour—maybe an hour and a half—just carrying her around and saying, “She’s leaving! This could be it! Now come on, this could be the last time we see her. Gilda’s leaving, and remember that she was very sick—hello?”

We worked all aspects of it, but it started with just, “She’s leaving, I don’t know if you’ve said good-bye to her.” And we said good-bye to the same people ten, twenty times, you know. 

And because these people were really funny, every person we’d drag her up to would just do like five minutes on her, with Gilda upside down in this sort of tortured position, which she absolutely loved. She was laughing so hard we could have lost her right then and there.

It was just one of the best parties I’ve ever been to in my life. I’ll always remember it. It was the last time I saw her.”

Found another of my old whitey pics from ‘06 floating around - this time here on Tumblr. At that point, I wasn’t terribly proficient in Photoshop and there was no Lightroom, so I used Picasa on most of the shots from that trip; sometimes it had some nice effects - but I definitely need to go back and get better pics!….. :P

Stumbled across this one recently; I kinda like the “action-y” ness…..

I like this one - we dubbed it “Mick’s Peak” (among other names), as upon arriving, our fellow diver Mick doffed his fins and scaled it like… well, like climbing a rock.

Going through shots from my recent trip to the Revillagigedos archipelago with Andy Murch (of Elasmodiver/BigFishPhotographyExpeditions). This is the famous site called “The Boiler”, so-called due to the peak of this little layered pinnacle not quite reaching the surface of the water, creating a disturbance effect on the surface in heavy waves & currents that people likened to a boiling pot. In manta season - which this is not - this site can be a meeting & cleaning spot for dozens of beautiful giant mantas; we only saw four, briefly, during the whole week in the region - but there were lots of sharks and the humpback whales were everywhere.

Revisiting; nice & concise, bears frequent repetition.

Cool view from last week; the foggy bay is pretty neat. (iFone 4)
