Hi, Ted -

He says that he collects photographs based on how much he likes them and
not how much they are worth, but I do notice that all of the photographers
mentioned are "famous".  It would be nice to have enough money to collect
anything you like.  Since we have moved so much and so often, I have never
decorated my walls with any photographs other than my own.  Maybe I should
branch out?  I don't consider photographs to be an investment but a
memory.  I would much prefer to be surrounded by memories than by
investments.

Just my opinion.  We are very, very depressed down here in South Carolina
and have no idea what to do, other than John Oliver's excellent show on how
to make a difference with this travesty.  It will take time, which we
probably don't have.  Hence the depression.

Tina
