Leaving The LVBP!

Wow, what a powerful phrase.  After pretty much 2 amazing years of being here, I can't believe The PHOTOhype Project is moving on.
Ben C. Danielsen of Norway told me that this day would come & he also mentioned that it would a hard thing 2 do.

When I think about my time here in Vegas, I can't help but 2 think about all the people I met, especially the staff members @ the hostel,
who created the lifestyle known 2 all as The LVBP!  For a long time, I thought The LVBP was a hostel in Vegas, near The Fremont Street Experience.
I later realized that The LVBP was the collective spirit of world travellers - different by nature, yet similar in thought.

Funny.  Jules Lund of Australia once quoted The Hype 2 be something of the same nature.  Is that
an ironic twist of fate that the 2 would meet?  I think so.  I also think it's sad that the 2 didn't see eye 2 eye
on a lot of subjects, which caused the 2 powerhouses 2 turn its back on the other.

The LVBP was a social blend of inspiration 4 those on the go.  From stranger 2 forever friend, the travellers
of The LVBP lived the life & experienced the energy & feeling of something I call: The Hype!


The Karaoke Bar

A few months ago, I went out on my 1st solo road trip & landed just north of the Mexican border in a small town
called Tucson, Arizona.  It was there that I found true inspiration & a new direction 4 The PHOTOhype Project.
Sylvie Demandre of France once wrote that: "we are millions of people with thousands of stories...".

It amazes me on how much hidden beauty there really is in this world.  My final thoughts about The Viva, Lost Wages
Project
?  Hm, good question.  I feel there is still so much potential power just sitting there, doing nothing.  However, all
the giggles...  All the sunshine...  Everything, including The Hype & The LVBP, has now left the building...
