Mental dis-order. I’ll ad it to my list of oxymorons along with jumbo shrimp and military intelligence.

I was just sitting here wondering how a bunch of adults could be so stuck in
the past.
I’m not sure where the film is, but I have a CD with PTC written on it. I’ve
been a little busy since 2001, as among other things I have shot about 8,000
rolls of 120 since then.
What have y’all be doing for 11 years? Anything productive and wonderful, or
is checking in to photoforum the highlight of your day? I’m really curious,
as photoforum hasn’t figured into any part of my life for more than a decade
and yet I am here about to be hammered again.
What have I been doing since we last communicated? Oh, let’s see. Travelled
a lot (28 months in the UK and Scotland without living there), shot almost
100 Civil War battlefields in 26 states, shot Normandy for a month and since
NGS buys their good weather, it didn’t rain during any October day,
travelled in and to 32 states to shoot various landscapes and then to cap it
all off, got my left foot amputated due to a medical malpractice event in
2010.
I think that about sums it up, but now some folks here are dredging up the
ancient past (for me) and I am frankly no longer interested. I spent almost
three years getting over medical stupidities and you guys are still in
2001?
Of further note, there are some photos in the gallery and except for one
which is composed, the others need help. They are grab shots, not well
composed and just snapshots. Even though digital has invaded photography, it
still takes an effort to produce a memorable photograph. Just because your
camera can do things it didn’t used to be able to do, doesn’t mean you can
take it easy and sit back and say things like “I’ve been told I have an eye”
when you so clearly are not using it for the photographs you display. I mean
wake up and smell the fecking coffee!!! Making good photographs is difficult
and digital cameras haven’t changed that at all.
Now that 11 years is gone by I’m even harder to impress.

I gave the PTC camera and film to the SI years ago and sadly it was

I can upload them to my web site next week.
Yeah, I actually would. I never expected the results to have any
particular artistic value, but the project as it ended was rather a
let-down of the energy generated while the cameras were going around.
Seeing the photos in decent scans would go some way towards closure on
that for me.
