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. cheers, Dr. ted.
