I think its more possible than impossible that it will happen.<< No Mark my friend, you really would want to see the face of the idiot who wrote it! :-( An image moment never to be forgotten. Certainly as I held him butt end into the Bull stock yard and all the bulls in heat! I can be very vicious when necessary!! :-( There are ways to deal with some fools & morons as an unforgotten experience?? :-( >>>I'd been shooting decades before I ever heard the phrase "street photography" and I don't miss much on the photo end of things. I'm pissed because all these guys being held up as examples of the great street shooters it's just not the truth. And I think the truth is important. It seems to be a roll I'm on.<<<< Mark, relax, you are in a no win situation due to the communication complications of today, along with many of the teaching or magazine writers with not one wit of "real life photographic experience!" between them! All many do, is pass on the "BS" of the writer fools they're following, repeating the same verbal garbage! Look! We came through what is considered by many as the best time for photography & shooters the world has ever known! The common sense part says? No matter how miserable we may feel about photography etc? No matter we may bitch, complain, point out the idiocies of today's photographers and the ways of the day? One must just roll over, don't complain as it accomplishes nothing, but have the "young ones of today?" See us as a bunch of whining old SOB neandrathals! Best we sit back, relax and truthfully know we came through the most fantastic times of being involved ever in photography! Relax! Go have a nice Scotch or two and you'll feel better! Me? I'm taking my own advice and going to pour a we nip for myself and relax out on my back deck in the pleasant afternoon sunshine! :-) :-) :-) CHEERS! my dear friend of a whole bunch of years! Man we do go back along way when we first met face to face in the airport. When I was invited over your side of the border as a guest speaker for a seminar! Hey we were still young guys at that time in Seattle! :-) cheers, Dr. Ted C.M. ORDER of CANADA --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
