Leica D-Lux (type 109) – 1/250 @ f/2.8 ISO 200

I was waiting for some test results when I noticed this little vial (for lack of a proper word lets just call it a “thig-a-ma-jig”) attached to my wife’s IV and the really cool backlighting. Lighting was provided by the flourescent reading lamp on the wall. After I took this image I was told everything will be good.  Crossing your fingers does work 🙂

Lanesboro, Minnesota on a quiet afternoon, with the main activity being the Amish basket market.  Lanesboro is located in southeast Minnesota, is home to many Amish families, is a hub for recreational activities along the Root River, has a great theater company and some wonderful B&Bs.

What to say?  I have always loved my records which were bought back in the day after much scrimping and saving for the absolute favourites, to have and to hold in my hands with love forever, never ever to part.

Solace in moments of delicious loneliness they wear their needle scratches much as I wear now the lines on my face but hear the songs, the tracks of your youth, and the years peel away.  Forever young.

Unbelievably (why do I say this?) Bob Dylan and Van Morrison among others will be playing concerts during the summer out at Forest Hills in Queens.  Do I want to be there?  You bet!   But I’m on the move in and out of NYC over the summer and I can’t commit to tickets, on the assumption that they’re not sold out already.

So Happy Birthday Bob, what’s 75 years when we were all so much older then but younger than that now?

Meet my son Patrick. He’s studying TV and Video production at a local High school (Read College.) This was taken on the last day of school for this year. He had just returned home from  Los Angeles and San Fransisco.He’s won a scholarship for his studies next year so that takes the financial weight off somewhat. He has already done work for National TV and a national newspapers web TV. Who knows what the future holds 🙂
