I feel like an old man in a very small storefront shop that has plenty of dust and few customers. The merchandise on offer is not new or exciting to the times. I keep adding more pictures because I really like them. I don’t have either a cash register or price tags, because I don’t do this to make money…and I don’t.
I just like to look at the pictures I make.
I don’t talk (or write) about what I do, unlike so many others on the Web. It’s not about words, to me.
I just open my shop each day, post another picture.
And I for one like looking at the pictures you make. They don't seem to be suffering from a covering of dust, it seems that whatever you are doing is effective in keeping the dust from collecting over the images. Thanks for all the pictures for the looking.
John, Although our paths have diverged over the past 58 years, our general focus on photography has remained. Now you are suggesting that it is time for me to move on to new vistas? Like what?
I see only two things left: video and cellphone/computational image-making. Neither of which has any appeal for me.
Traditional, chemical-based analog photography suited me well in its time, and as digital imaging progressed, I adopted that and grew to love it. No desire to fall back or to grow away.

Maybe I ought to do some dusting, too.

And soon it will be time to make new pictures, to reflect changing visions? Yes, you have a vast repository, but maybe time to move on to new vistas?

I'll leave the future to what might happen.
