Anonymous said...: Martina - thanks for your comment today. I know I have been here before but I can't remember when. I just love this concept and your photographs. It doesn't look as if I was smart enough to follow your blog last time I was here. I won't make that mistake again.; 11 April, 2010 04:21

Martina said...: ana barata, someone more talented than me could make a short story about this ;-) - in my imagination someone had to leave the casino very very fast and lost his/her sunglasses on the way, ;-).

But in fact ...

kobico, the sunglasses were in the Mercedes' vicinity on the road (I guess it is asphalt) - a really deserted area on the weekends: garages, shipyards - nothing else. No casino, no highlife anywhere, ;-).

half-life of linoleum, thank you. Since I only commented on one blog the other day I am wondering who you might be .... I don't know any of your profile-listed blogs (though throwtographs is much to my taste :-)) ... still wondering ...; 11 April, 2010 11:56

Anonymous said...: oh - Hi Martina - I have one other blog under an ID that is older than I am. the site is 'if the walls could. . . talk.' So I will leave this comment with that ID. . . I'm glad you liked the throwtographs - that makes you one in a hundred million. Thanks for letting me know.

I was just checking back in to thank you for that comment on if the walls could talk (which is where this profile should lead).; 13 April, 2010 22:51
Martina said...: koe, oh, too .. ;-) - yes, I thought it might have been you but then I thought, hmm, better ask - the rest on throwtographs, :-).; 14 April, 2010 21:34
