Lai Fong's Angel of Squalor

A   L   O   H   A !

 Honolulu: Pocket-Size City of Mysteries

" I am, as I am; 
whether hideous, or
 handsome, depends
 upon who is made 
judge. "
                           Herman Melville

 Thriving Modern Metropolis to Casual Eyes

" The cost of a thing
 is the amount of 
what I call life 
which is required to be 
exchanged for it, 
immediately 
or in the long run. "

                             Henry David Thoreau

 Old Flavors Remain-Beloved Lai Fong

“ By its nature,

the metropolis provides

 what otherwise could be 

given only by

 traveling;

 namely, the strange.” 

                              Jane Jacobs, 
                                                The Death and Life of Great American Cities

Maybe

 if White Pigeon Turns

 I Can Get 

a Good Photo -

But She Filled My Lens with
Flutter and Was Gone.

When My Eye Cleared,

 I Noticed a Mystery

 Inside the 

Broken Window:

" The ideal space
 must contain 
elements of
 magic, 
serenity, sorcery 
and mystery. "
                     Luis Barragan

 Lai Fong's Angel of Squalor

White Girl Had Flown

 Not Away, But Inside.

She was the Mystery

"some have 

entertained angels 

unawares "

Hebrews 13:2
