Alive and well?

It has been a long, long time since I last visited here.

Update: I sold the pristine '72 to a friend in need. I still have
Micah's '58 and it is still looking good. Oh, and I still have the
f*ucked up engine Jake Raby so9ld me eons ago - it is in storage along
with the GTII-e.

I am getting things organized, selling off a lot of photography
equipment, slowly printing images for a review to prepare for a possible
show at a real gallery, things like that.

Hi John

Good luck with the gallery

What kind of photography are you into ? Do you have a Flickr or Deviant
account ?

I am just getting started. Got my 1st camera a couple of years ago, now
I am building my own dark room !

Good to see you

Nothing new to report from my end, no VW's except the black convertible,
now stored at my parents house. Still can't afford to ship it here. One
day....
Maybe if I get enough money together I might talk you into selling that
Raby paperweight of yours to me....

Make the right offer, then take a road trip to SE Minnesota and it is
yours!

Rich, my first career, other than military service, was as a daily
newspaper photographer in Chicago, and then a photojournalist in the
city. I still make photographs but have not shown any for over
twenty-five years.

The most recent picture I took was at my Mother's funeral rites. She
died on Mothers' day this year. Here is my favorite picture (reduced for
web presentation)

I've a couple more hundred images buried away.

Good to hear from you!
