The first album by America's "First Buddhist Rock Band,"
We had him, we lost him, we got him back. The cowboy hat legendary photographer becomes a Hollywood lovelife. Typical Zen? 
Coyote claims all life is four seasons...and if you live long enough -- you get 4 seasons of 4 seasons.

This photoshoot was done for the rock opera of mine, "Coyote In A Graveyard." Yep, that's the one. I got my Coyote name performing that with Michael J. Fox. I was goofing around, as I am prone to do, and tortured this 35mm photo into the wild pink you see here. It probably won't print as brightly as it should. The solarization technique creates weird artifacts so I touched up the image to look better in this psychedelic reality of mine. |

| Softward Used: | Photoshop CS2 | Alterations were done with the color correction tools normally used to make photos look more normal. Hee-hee. |

| Quark 7.1 | There are more bugs in Quark than Tom's pot plants. What a hastle! Anytime I used many of the new cool features in Quark I had to remove them when I discovered the text box outlines and so I had to make my text shadows using duplicated fonts stacked and staggered. Warning: Do not use the text shadow features in Quark. Don't use the... |

Ed Animal and I were both photographers for the Los Angeles newspapers before I left for Utah. He shot two concerts of mine. The other was at Club Lingerie with Ian Astbury of The Cult cheering me on, "COY-O-TE!" The inside shot is from the same concert. I love Black and White photography. I borrowed the negatives from Ed Animal and used his darkroom to print up these photos on 8x10 cloth paper stock. These photos were retouched by me, long before I ever had a computer. I did it the old-fashioned way with traditional black retouching watercolors. With my computer, I could have easily removed the hair from my face and the sweat in my armpit -- but I do enjoy the reality of reality. |

| Computer Used: | iMac Blueberry |

| Softward Used: | Photoshop 6 | Not much retouching done. The inlay tray card background was created using Photoshop gradients. I had to experiment and reconstruct it everytime I changed the text so that the letters would have backgrounds that worked best. | |
| Quark 4 | I spent more than 6 weeks bouncing graphics back and forth to the printer before I figured this program out. |
