Just a Rascal away...  Photo: Stan B.

As in # of posts- not some tweetin' hashtag. Considerably more if you counted the posts from R-F's previous incarnation, but I guess minor league hits don't count. Anyway, as always- thanks for dropping by!

If I had any self discipline, I'd instead be making hi-res files of my greatest hits, doing post and preparing 'em for posterity. But then, I'd have nothing to do when it's finally time to invest in my very own Rascal. Honestly, I'm surprised to be still chuggin' away here, even if things have slowed a tad. Seems everyday I think will be my last... along comes something of interest at the last second to help keep it all good...

BTW... I've asked it before, and I'll ask it again- where the freak are all the yung-uns? Shouldn't they be out in the forefront forging, leading and blogging the way to the brave new (and retro) photographic universe? Where the hell are all their voices? Have they all instagrammed into an alternate reality far from the sight of this analog relic?

Speaking of the future... This planet will be a significantly different place at the end of this century, and not for the better. We are an amazingly self destructive species, I wish I could be more positive, but I suspect lot smarter species throughout the universe never made it past this period of their own civilization- the part where they finally achieved the power to destroy themselves countless times over, not only with their own weapons... but through their own greed, short sightedness and apathy. I had hoped we had the capacity to not only read all the signs around us, but to actually take the necessary steps to save ourselves while we still could. Instead, we have chosen to embrace the denial that will minimize our daily pain, and trash the future of our very existence.

And we'll have cameras to document it- every sad and quickening step of the way...    Peace.
