An ancient Piasecki Flying Banana! Who would believe that one still exists in the world.

Good for you Chaba.

Even I like it Micki -- and I'm not known for liking much of anything! I have just gained a whole new level of respect for your artistic creativity and am sorry that I did not see it in you before now.

My very highest and most humble regards.

Better make it a TLR and a tripod.

Your PP music made me cry.

I cannot help but note that the arrangements in your compositions have improved substantially of late. This is an exceptionally well-done example of what your talent is capable of Kellen.

We may look at this and at first we may not notice anything particularly exceptional. That is because the scene itself is too new, too much of the year 2007; only desaturated into B&W. It is still only last Saturday, yesterday or a few hours ago. It is as if we have just turned away from the scene in front of us.

But if we were to look here again in a few decades hence we would see a wonderful example of early 21st Century amateur documentary photography.

Kellen, it has been my pleasure to call you my friend since your earliest days here on Pnut, and so I admit a bias to my eye. But in truth, I see this as one of the very best works of photography that you have ever shown here.

"Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum."

So many people have been misled into forgetting this fundamental truth of human history. If Sidney Camm had not built this very machine of war, then the world today would be a much less nice place that it is.

To hell with PC anyway. PC is the biggest crock of Marxist bullshit ever thought up to bring down Western Civilization. Don't believe me? Just read the news.

Anyway, I apoligize for climbing up onto my soapbox. And I like this portrait very much.
