Elliott Smith tribute wallme, checking out the vista

I am a surfer/designer/photographer, currently living in a small town called Bucerias, 20 minutes up the coast from Puerto Vallarta. It’s a wonderful area. Working and surfing occupy most of my time, when I’m not on the computer, in the water or taking photos, I find time to build houses. I live with my wife, Marcia, our dog Lola and our two cats. Living in mexico is great. My weblog is an opportunity for me to share my experiences and photos with friends, internet friends and total strangers. I hope you enjoy it.

You can also find my photography at my portfolio site: edfladung.com

I’d like to give a shout out to all my friends in Los Angeles, Wisconsin, New York and wherever life has brought them.

The Site

This site runs on the amazing Word Press. The images are hosted on Flickr. I post large amounts of photos (good and not so good) on Flickr and then link to a few from this site. It’s sorta like a carnival barker or something, the real action is on flickr or my photo site.

Here is a list of the plugins used on this site. This design is a modified version of I theme I created, called QPwilm and is free to download, it includes varying built-in support for the following plugins:
