"is just a cigar!"

And sometimes Clive morphs into Orville, sorry guys! :-)

"Show somebody whose lower jaw's been removed (we have that shot on billboards in New Mexico)."

"Freud battled mouth cancer the last several years of his life, but continued to smoke cigars, his trademark."

"In 1923, he was diagnosed with cancer of the jaw, a result of years of cigar smoking. He was 67. He would have 30 operations over the next 16 years to treat the progressive disease."

Sometimes even the smartest people get addicted, Obama is fighting the addiction now.

Canada.

And then again there was that millionaire photographer I met with a Rolls-Royce and

mansion from doing postcards and menus. Vacationing six months a year in Florida!

Eugene is right! :-)

FWIW: if my first photography goal was met I would be doing Hallmark cards right

now! :-)

"people here take criticism of their work from the art world very bitterly,"

Eugene, a well known art/photography critic with "real world credentials" once visited

my site and loved everything he saw. He was nice enough to send me feedback stating

so. A year or so later the same guy liked two, and only two pics on my entire site. One

of them being the picnic shot above, it is kinda a private joke to me now. I took both

shots he loved within minutes of each other, because my wife to be was with me that

day and my intent was to make an "artsy" shot. The point of this story? The only critic I

trust is A/Z. He once spotted a shot of mine that went on to bigger and better things. :-

I guess Roosevelt was a great guy unless you were a Japanese American during the war years, then it was off to the camps...

Many Japanese men fought and died for America all while their families were being held in "camps!"
