[Leica] Shameless wedding photography plug new website

Thu Jul 2 22:08:38 PDT 2015

Gene, you’re attitude doesn’t mean a thing if your wife doesn’t share it,
and I have seen a lot of people’s (both men and women) attitudes suddenly
change. No thanks. My cats won’t leave me and steal everything I own on a
whim. People today simply have no concern for anyone but themselves or
anything higher in importance than appearances and status.

As a teacher, I can tell you that our future is FUCKED. I try so hard to
show the kids that there’s something deeper, greater, warmer, more
beautiful than the world of mindless entertainment and idiotic
interpersonal drama that they immerse themselves in. A few of them get it,
they’re the rare ones, the smart ones with souls and hearts, and the other
kids bully them mercilessly. God forbid anyone think for themselves.

The older people who should be helping fix it? They’ve got their fool
heads buried in the sand, desperately trying to avoid seeing that their
world died, because they killed it, and they know they have a debt to pay
if the young ever free themselves and begin to think again.

I have to care about our society’s future. Not just for my students, but
for my 18 year old son, who just graduated from high school. He has a long
life ahead of him, longer than I’ll likely have given the state of my
health. Want him to have a better life than I had, but I can’t say it’ll
happen. I’m fearful and angry at what he’ll face.
