Give Me Your Old Crap!
I make pictures and sell 'em. But once in a while I get a chance to swap my pictures for things, and that makes me happy. I need, say, a new banjo more than I need an apartment full of pictures. I like to barter pictures for, like, stuff: musical instruments, household whatnot, nifty last-generation geek toys. I've swapped my pictures for a TiVo (holy CRAP! Thanks, Lisa!), guitars, guitar effects, a Palm doohickey and a couple of digital cameras, video games, a bike, acrylic and house paint, an iPod, and not one, but two Dell laptops. Holy cow, people are nuts.

Here's some stuff I'll probably spend money on at some point and frankly, would rather some nice person come to ye olde HQ here in Scottsdale, AZ with whatever and pick a bunch of favorites from the scads of pictures I have accumulating here, leaving lighter of load and cheerful of disposition. (This could also occur via good ol' U.S. mail, and you could pick from what I have on the front page.)

So, then, here is

El Rey's List of Stuff I'm Looking Fer

• A laptop or netbook
• Canon EOS EF or EF-S lenses (aside from the 18-55 kit lens)
• Photography accessories for a Canon XSi: flashes, tripods, battery grip, etc.
• Medium-format cameras, including Holgas
• An acoustic guitar, ideally a Big Baby Taylor, Baby Taylor, or Little Martin
• A tenor uke
• Xbox 360 w/HD
• PS3
• Wii games
• A PC video projector
• LCD monitor or TV
• A really good 8" chef's knife
• Bulk coffee (I bet this is a surprise)
• Drum machines/grooveboxes (Alesis SR-16; Boss DR-5; Korg Electribe EM-1, ES-1, EMX-1, ESX-1; Yamaha AN-200, RM1X)
• A cute little monkey, pref. housetrained
• What else y'got?

Generally, almost any kind of musical noisemaker is a good bet, but if you have any stuff kicking around that you want gone, try me!

Thanks!

El Rey
