New development in photography
Excuse my language, but I recently saw a bumper sticker that sums up
many of life's problems, including this post about prints: "**** happens". My philosophy is simply this: when I see doggie droppings on the sidewalk, I do not get angry, I do not yell and scream at the owner; I just walk around it and go on my way. Perhaps that is merely the serenity of old age. Mort Linder Tony Cooper wrote: What's this describe? "A photo that exists physically - IRL. A photo that is a one-of-a-kind original that can be shared, exhibited and preserved. A photo that no longer needs an electronic device to be seen." Something new and innovative? V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V No, it's a print. Adorama, in their new mini-catalog describes what a device does with an image from an iPhone photo. It makes a print. |

When we were kids, it was assumed that dogs would do what they did wherever they were and that it was your fault if you stepped in it. (I believe the operative slogan, covering this and other ambulatory hazards, was "Watch your step".) If the worst happened, you cleaned off your shoes and moved on. The idea that a sane person would follow his dog around picking up the latter's **** was, quite simply, ludicrous. Bob |

The farms which are a big part of agri-business conglomerates have bought out most of the family farmers and their Federal water allocations. The Feds in turn are delivering a *Zero allocation* this year as there is no water to deliver. Agri-business farms have sowed on untenable land after taking out Federal crop insurance with the full knowledge those crops will fail. Once again the tax payer takes it in the wallet. It seems this year all those salad fixings are going to be coming from Chile and Central America. We have local issues with vineyard developers East of Hwy 101 who have depleted the aquifer so much that local well-dependent non-farming homeowners are having to drill new deeper wells. I am fortunate that I live West of Paso Robles where we don’t have that problem. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Any thoughts on appropriate retaliation? Eat them? Back in the mid '80s I took some classes at UConn. There was a lake on campus known to the students as "duck *beep* pond" (only the students didn't beep the expletive). One proposal at the time was to hold a game dinner night. With more than 20,000 students on campus this would have resolved the problem in short order. Of course, being a university, numerous objections were raised, ranging from food-safety to animal rights, and so that never happened. A quick google of "Uconn goose problem" found that as of 2009 they were still working on it. Personally if I were running UCONN I'd have put out a poll of the students, giving them three choices--kill the geese, fill the pond, or volunteer to shovel goose *beep*. |
