We'll see if I still have anything worth saying in black and white; or if I'm just an old man trying to relive his youth.!!!!!! <<<<< GEORGE KNOCK THAT CRAP OFF!!! IT'S NEVER NEVER EVER "OLD!" You are slipping gently into the realm as an "ELDER PERSON!" NEVER EVER EVER "OLD!" "OLD" is for the useless who have no desire to live and we usually find they had quite a useless life! My goodness good Sir think only of "ENJOYING THE DAY AS BEST YOU CAN!" Oh I know some folks have desperate situations in surviving another day! I have developed an attitude of.... "NO MATTER WHAT THE DOC SAYS ABOUT SURVIVING ANOTHER DAY? "SCREW HIM!" And take each day as it is! Hurting or not! BUT NEVER EVER BE AN "OLD PERSON OR OLD!"

This is the current unknown. At one time I'd have said, "I see in black and white. I speak in black and white." The six Gallery shows I had over the years were all black and white exhibits. All of the museum invitationals I hung in were black and white prints. But that was all back then. And this is now. We'll see if I still have anything worth saying in black and white; or if I'm just an old man trying to relive his youth.
