Does it make any sense for one person to be able to blast hip-hop in the car at full volume, and still choose a new ringtone like Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying?" Thought not. Somewhere between impatience, rage and the simple desire to just feel "unchained," well....nevermind. I can see this whole train of thought is gonna get rather disjointed. I'm not the most transparent thinker, I realize that. At any rate, through certain modes I have come to realize ADD is probably not the only culprit for what makes me, well, me. There's seems to be components of Asperger's, issues with my neurological processing speed, and, so as not to scare anyone unduly, what we shall refer to as "Greta Garbo Disease." Y'know, "I want to be alone." (I can't do the accent.) And for reasons I've gotten into pretty frequently here, frankly, I do. It's never completely possible, I'm not even sure if the situation would be different if Martha and I were living on our own, but anyway, that's what's been said. There are probably aspects of my memory that aren't that great, for whatever reason, but--well, stay tuned, I intend to get this situation worked out, somehow or other. At this point, my thought is that I'm getting too damned old to try and be competing against the kids, never mind all the people who have been unemployed for six months or more. Gotta figure out how to succeed on my own terms, 'coz there seems to be no other answers at this point. In any event, we shall see. Stay tuned.



For those who might have never realized there was an original Mini-Cooper, behold, this is what it looked like for forty-plus years. And it was British, not a little, tiny BMW.

I shot this with what used to be referred to as "masking film;" it had cinematic uses, and generally speaking wasn't meant to be run through a regular camera. ISO speed was hyper-slow, (like, ISO 6 or 8,) and as you can see, way contrasty. Years ago, I had a big industrial tin of this stuff, and made some interesting pictures. Some stuff a digital camera just can't do.

I spotted this poor, nasty, weatherbeaten Porsche 928 while out and about recently, and decided to put the devil back in it; MY way.

And apparently Chrysler Corporation, in it's infinite wisdom has decided upon the return of some of the more popular 70s colors, Like Plum Crazy Purple shown here. Not like the Dodge Challenger wouldn't look good covered in leather and chiffon, but this definitely works!
