Because good friends must be good friends...no matter what

Actually,


I know a man,


A man very well


Who can strike the strings


Better than Eddy


And bass strings better than Paul.


He is more than all...


Even ever...and...I guess


Because we are still friends.


It seems.

In lieu of a video of my dear friend, I present his almost look-alike, Sir Paul McCartney.



You would have done this JT, if they'd have given you the chance, right?
I was simply trying to make a tribute...to a good and old friend...Sorry, JT, but this is the only video I can find that Google did not 'taint' with its silly 1911 music!

Because everywhere else I Google turns everything into 1911 on Google--1911, yeah...when these creeps NEVER even existed.

Digital Abstractions

Just a short collection of abstract shots I've done in the past few years.

I hope you enjoy?

Years ago, when I shot only black and white...

...certain buildings were being torn down on Wisconsin Avenue to make way for the Grand Avenue Mall.

In the late summer of 1980, I ventured down to the ecavation and shot this, through excessive heat, humidity, and over-bearing mosquitoes.

This was on the western wall of the Woolworth building, depicting a time long gone, even then.

(Because GOOGLE is behaving stupidly again, please click the little square.  I am soooooo going to change over to wordpress, or somewhere.  Google has upset me enough to do so!)

Go here, for the update on what Grand Avenue is today.

Sad, soooooo sad.  In the 80s I lived just a short block away...and shopped the Grand Avenue many times...until the black gangs took it over.

Are you even watching...

...The National Debt clock on my sidebar?

And while we're at it...

So...why not?

And let me, an old woman, fly a damned kite...especially, as an artist, if I made it myself!

It's a heck of lot better than Kow-towing to the Obama administration.

I'd sooner believe Mary Poppins...

...than Michelle Obama!



Though BOTH are ficticious characters, I prefer Poppins!

And anyone who thinks Michelle "FATA$$" Obama could EVER compare to someone like Mary Poppins...hmmm...fictional character VS fictional character.

Got to go...sorry...got to start writing this phantasmagorigal EPIC!

I SHALL toast life!

Of course, Andrea is one of my favorites artist/singers of the last century and this.

Why not take the time to listen?



Miserere,
miserere,
miserere,
miserable me,
but I toast life!

But what a mystery my life is,
what a mystery!
I am a sinner from the year eighty thousand,
a liar!

But where am I and what am I doing,
how do I live?

I live in the soul of the world
lost in the depths of life!

Miserere, miserable me,
but I toast life!

I am the saint who betrayed you when you were alone.
I live elsewhere and observe the world from the sky
and I see the sea and the forests,
I see myself…

I live in the soul of the world lost in the depths of life!

Miserere, miserable me,but I toast life!

If there is a night dark enough to hide me, hide me,
If there is a light, a hope, magnificent sun that shines inside me,
give me the joy to live that is not yet there.

Miserere, miserere,
that joy to live that perhaps
is not yet there.

I'm so pleased to show you this...

...in the midst of my new neighbor's children acting like 'screaming meemies'!

I made these shots in 2005 at a Farmer;s Market on the near South side of Milwaukee in under two hours.

The morning was perfect, as was the light.

From a GOOD FRIEND...

...GRANNY JAN & JIHAD KITTY!

Just enjoy the Michelle Obama 'FASHION SHOW'...then take time to figure just WHERE the money comes from for all these high-priced 'designer clothes'.



Is Michelle Obama taking expensive clothing gifts (uh, ohhhh?) from designers...or is Momma Marion busy at the Singer?
