As far as I go there's only one to get it. 1. Your landlord. 2. (way later) Your editor (keeping ones job) 3. (way later than the second even) Your name in the reference books being in all caps bold or bold in all caps or mentioned at all That's three. Newer the money; Always the money. Very popular the humanist political and psychological reasons to keep ones camera in ones pouch. Most hogwash in the end if you ask me. It will all be on recorded in the de rigueur cell phones in the end. In living 3d freeze from motion and quad sound and instant replay and of course for the evening news if not before; one of those freeze frames. For the cover of the times or something on still on paper. We're going to have to figure out a new drug. A new twist to our raison d'?tre.

They ones who think they are are half a chance deluded, horribly. The ones who think they're no big deal are half the time deluded. Hopefully don't know shred so many of their priceless negs or compact flash cars. Someone will figure it our after they've signed off of planet earth. c'est la vie Mork from New York Mark Rabiner Portland, OR Photography
