saving the hairdo?

the narrow pillow

Did Trailways and Greyhound use the same model bus? Did one company have superior upholstery? In 1978 it was almost possible to ride the bus from anywhere to anywhere in the USA, almost.

Pro Camera One Roll Project

For their one roll contest I thought Pro Camera would select a CHO-style photo like this exposure from the DJT DC 6/14/2025 event. Instead they chose old white guys…
These two. I met the old-feller on the right when I was six, met the one on the left when I was twenty-three.
They are wild, philosophical, and fun.
They can edit, sail, hammer, talk, teach, and rabble rouse.
we are going down a road together
Above, my friends’ grandfather, at his farm. The Pro Camera Team’s pick of a corn-photo of Mr. Frank’s descendants 100 years later is an example of the film silver halide magic, Stitching across time.
I started chasing shadows in 1968. I’ve been a farm-laborer, photojournalist, toiletologist, dishwasher, janitor, retail photo clerk, plumber, HVAC tech, auto mechanic, CAT scan tech, computer worker, dog walker and tree-planter. Photos are a favorite thing, my heart and memory.

John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

Vikings

misplaced affectation?

1200 years later the Vikings have good publicists. They connected Ireland to England and Europe. The slave taking and sword-work aren’t so much at the forefront of the narrative. They introduced us to trousers. OK. And the helmets…

Viking society only developed in the 9th century C.E., and there is no sign that Vikings really wore horned helmets. According to History.com, the legend likely originated with Scandinavian artists in the 1800s, who popularized portrayals of the nomadic raiders wearing the equipment in their works.
