[Leica] PESO: Priceless

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

Before Auschwitz the Jews had:
Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any
marks upon you: I am the LORD.
Leviticus 19:28

Me I'm tattoo free. As I always remember what my three ring binder looked
like the last day of school; vs. the first.
I make mistakes.

> Hi  Jim 
> Wonderful! It's called the "ART OF OBSERVATION!" Like the tattoo isn't out
> there big in neon lights to catch your attention. You have it because you
> are an observer of life about you and it was seen! :-)
> 
> And you made an interesting photo recording of these times in the USA!
> 
> One of the things many of you probably don't relate to about our 
> photography
> in the same fashion as images of someone in their 82nd year, with 60 years
> of professionally recording life on this planet, that is?
> 
> We, all of us, are the recorders of how life is/was during our years doing
> what we love with great passion.... photography of life about us on a daily
> basis!
> 
> The tattoo as simple as it is, it's a small record of people during the 
> 2010
> year on this planet in the USA!
> 
> We are not just simple picture takers, we are the recorders of the history
> of our people every time we photograph an event whatever it maybe!
> 
> Think about that the next time you go "click!" If it weren't for us how 
> will
> the people of 3010 know what it was like in our lifetime? Yep that's a long
> time in the future. But we have all seen pictures of our countries and
> people from many hundreds of years ago. So why shouldn't we leave a legacy
> of who we are today?
> 
> Just a passing thought.
