What a strange vintage we are. Constantly needing to photograph each thing, each moment. What other species demands to self archive everything? The same information, experiences, places visually captured over and over again. What do we expect to learn from it; from taking a picture of it all? No Coining - All Rights Reserved

Adult Five-Lined Skink: Plestiodon Inexpectatus


A Five-Lined Skink with an American Cockroach almost as big as itself. Keep in mind, Maejima is an uninhabited island about 15 miles (25 km) off of the coast of Okinawa, Japan. Since Okinawa has a large US military presence, this roaches ancestors likely hitched a ride inside an Americans household goods and then flew or were blown out to Maejima Island.
