Well here we are, 1/11/11 good day for a first post eh? ...a few friends and I decided to start up a collaborative blog, called Lotza Thoughts. The main themes and topics will be refined in time, but we should focus on rad PHotgraphy, random Art/graffiti, and a heavy focus on dope Music.My name is Ande, future contributors may or may not include: Adam, Toby, Catherine, Leif, Pee-Wee Herman, Mao, Andy Warhol, etc.
