    …each bloom there is an amazing structure…beautiful and pure function. I spent a few hours writing this morning and the balance of the day doing a refined sort of slides, negatives, print photos and documents. I found myself tossing nearly all of the photos that did not contain family or friends. I tossed some of my best film shots of flowers, landscape and aerials. A lot of the family and people photos also hit the bucket; more than a thousand photos will be on the way to the landfill.  A couple of walks, telephone calls with friends and dinner completed the day.  I feel a little like a hermit, but this is a daunting job I have undertaken and the only way to get it done is to do it.

    On the plus side I am finding photos I have totally forgotten about … even one where I assembled my first sailplane out back of the house on the golf course. I think we used it for our Christmas Card in 1997. I’ve always wanted to land on a golf course…so far no luck as I have been able to get back up and out. The closest  was at Quintero Golf course north of Carefree Hwy about twelve miles west of Turf Soaring. I was down to about 600 feet AGL and had a fairway picked out that was empty and looked pretty good, but caught a weak thermal and got back up. Would have been fun though…

    photo_tedgrussingThe van gets worked on by family Anderson tomorrow and lunch with a friend I have not seen for a while; maybe a Walmart run thrown in for good measure and then more old photo work tomorrow night. This is a relatively new flower image taken two years ago at Filoli Gardens in Northern California. Think I need to go back there this spring and spend more time getting shots of the white tulips and a few others I wish I had spent more time with.

    One is now encroaching on the keyboard so it is time to call it a night. Have a wonderful day and greet others with a smile and share the beauty in your life with others too.

    Cheers

    I’ll not bother to reform myself today.
    Perhaps tomorrow — if it is raining,
    and I must stay indoors, and meditate
    on the shortcomings of life.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
