Friends, I have to tell you something. Sometimes I just get so fed up with the level of CRAP all around us that I start to melt down. I spent a good hour tonight on a thing called PhotoSig.com, where I was subjected to near-fatal doses of treacle in the form of endless #$%! cat pictures, sunsets, and oversaturated color pictures of misty meadows. I was boiling down into a worse and worse mood when, just by pure chance, just surfing around completely in the dark, I happened to land on this little photo essay here:
http://home.imcnet.net/~waltsman/dad1.HTML I have to say, this is what I think photography is. And is good for. Sad as it is, tragic as it is, the experience of looking at this little photo essay restored my faith in photography for the evening, just when I thought nothing could. Check it out if you like. The photographer's name is Gary Walts. --Mike
