Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

If the definition of a 'classic' is that it's timeless, this man is a true genius. He's created so many classics...

Good morning, everyone! Can you believe that is already the 25th of the month? Time, you old Gypsy man... Ahmad's "English Breakfast" tea (unsullied by any attempts to blend it with Lapsang Souchong) a bowl of rice, fish, pickled vegetables, and miso soup, then I'm out the door. I was putting my camera gear together last night for a long landscape/seascape shoot next week and realized that I ran out of Sensor Swabs a while ago. I'm seeing too many little specks these days when I clean up my photos, so I guess it's time to clean my sensor again. I haven't done it in almost 4-5 months and it shows! And if I'm going to be changing lenses often while outdoors in the wind, I'll probably pick up a lot more. Better to clean it now and not have to worry so much while I'm away. But that means a trip to one of the big downtown camera stores to buy some new sensor swabs and pec-pads. I made my own paddle to fit my sensor so I can always use the pec-pads in a emergency, but I prefer the ease of the pre-made swabs.

To me, 'goals' are just steps along a path. You know the old saying; 'to light a candle is to cast a shadow?' Well, to reach one goal is to start me on the way to the next. I've decided to get back into the shape I was in 30-35 years ago when I was tournament fencing and fighting. I have no plans to compete again... but who knows? Moving around the world so often, I've thrown away any and all trophies I'd won. Maybe it's time to win some new ones?
