I stumbled off the track to success in 1968, started chasing shadows that summer. Since then, In addition to farm-laborer and newspaper photographer my occupational incarnations include dishwasher, janitor, retail photo clerk, plumber, HVAC repairman, auto mechanic, CAT scan technologist, computer worker and politico (whatever it takes to buy a camera.) I am on the road to understanding black and white photography.

We left interstate 90 for awhile today, dipped down through Thunder Basin, Osage, Newcastle and Custer, sneaking up on the Mount Rushmore National Monument from the south.
The Park Service lady said they have about three million visitors a year. Presidents Washington, Roosevelt and Lincoln look pretty good. I didn’t recognize Jefferson.
The monument is smaller than I expected, I am surprised it hasn’t been stolen.
