    … all else fails, do something different and this is the seventh photo I pulled up tonight. The first ones were of birds in flight, rabbits, cats and aerial shots … all of them did not agree with my mood which seems a little weird tonight. So I took a shot with a bunch of blackbirds in tall reeds and grasses down at Bubbling Ponds and messed with it, thus the caption … even better, I like it.

    Some nights, everything I have shot seems pedestrian, mundane and just plain boring and I search through the folders until something hits me and there was a lot of that tonight. Also it was another day of deletions and perhaps that is why nothing looked good as I was in full deletion mode. I managed to reduce my kept photographs for the first six months of 2018 to 62GB and that is good. Think I deleted a total of at least 200GB over the past weeks to get it to this level. Most photographers I know do not do the deletions and save everything for a later day … storage is cheap so in many ways it makes sense, but I can’t do that. The current effort which will run the summer, is to reduce the total portfolio to less than 700GB … currently it is at 1.1TB, so it should be very doable.

    You may have seen the video “The Pale Blue Dot” featuring the words of Carl Sagan, and a cosmic perspective that will amaze you. A friend was kind enough to send it to me and I think you will enjoy it too … maybe think is a better word to describe what the intended message is:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO5FwsblpT8

    Time to wrap the day … have a beautiful day on this little blue dot we call home … and smile for the blessings are infinite!

    Cheers

    At nightfall…though I know I shall sometime no more
    Open my eyes to the light or day, I am one who looks at stars when
    Unchained from the work-bench at Nightfall.
    They are a sign that I am not ephemeral,
    Not you, nor you, whoever you are.
    The dawn comes and the dark and the sign sparkling in the brooding night,
    Forever and forever.
    — Max Ehrmann

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
