    inspired by Nat's post

    This is a bit of a rehash of old photos reconstituted for this year's celebration of freedom.
    I can be terribly un-original at times.

    Great shot! Sometimes I miss living in the big city. We don't see things like this in the rural foothills of Northern Kalifornya.

    You might want to give proper credit for it in your artwork, then.


    That would not only make it legal to use, you would also be performing a service for your viewers.

    Sorry. It's an older work I did right after 9/11, and I forgot to put in the JFK back then. Here's a repost after much careful editing (I lost the original psd file, so I don't have control over the text layer)

    This was taken by my Dad in April of 1962, while aboard the USS Rankin. (I wish it was more in focus.)

    You've probably seen this one before, if you have been to my website.
    I did it two years ago, with my Holga.

    Not very unique, but I took it anyway...that's on a very tall flagpole at the Presidio in SF, supposedly the tallest in the area.

    but today kind of made it appropriate. IMO.

    Oldies but goodies - I've posted them before.
