The camera's only job is to get out of the way of making photographs.~ Ken Rockwell

It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter, because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary.~ David Bailey

Man oh man, the summer is 2/3rds over and I have hardly done anything at all worth talking about. I have submitted two new pieces since the beginning of June. I have spent much of my time sleeping. I had half my thyroid removed two years ago due to the big C, the other half three weeks ago. My metabolism is totally screwed up as my thyroid replacement medication is being withheld for a month, in preparation for radiation treatment in a couple weeks. I feel great for two or three days and then I can’t seem to get out of bed for a day or two. That’s all I’m going to say about that, and I mention it only because my watchers deserve to know why I have become so miserably lazy. Now some levity and new features.



On the day the earth ended and all of humanity was waiting to enter Paradise, God appeared and said, "I want the men to make two lines. Form one line for the men who were true heads of their household and another line for the men who were dominated by their wives. I want all the women to report to St. Peter Soon, the women were gone, and there were two lines of men. The line of the men who were dominated by their wives was 100 miles long and in the line of men who truly were heads of their household, there stood one lone man. God said, "You men should be ashamed of yourselves. I created you to be the head of your household! You have been disobedient and have not fulfilled your purpose! Of all of you, only one obeyed. Learn from him. "God turned to the man, "How did you manage to be the only one in this line? "The man shrugged his shoulders and looked down at his shoes as he mumbled, "My wife told me to stand here".
