Barney

I try to remember a few of the things I've photographed over the years 
and how fortunate many of us are. Were I a religious person I'd ask God 
to forgive me. Not for doing bad things (like wanting to photo hooters 
:-P ) which are run of the mill, but for ever feeling sorry for myself.  
When I think of  the shooters I've know who fall into "world class" 
category I wonder how they feel about it all.  Maybe things are better 
now than when we burned people at the stake or put millions in gas 
chambers. It could be that the trek toward universal humanitarianism 
requires more time than we each have but will come.
