It takes 20 year to build a reputation and 5 minutes to ruin it.

15 months ago I closed my account at IStock , it had all of 29 dollars in it. since then it has been a nightmare trying to have the money paid to me. one thing after another , after another. well , finally . they beat me , I have had enough and told them to just keep the money.
If this is how they treat the average customer I have no idea how they manage to stay in business.

I may be a lifelong " downtowner " but Central Park really is the most beautiful part of New York City.
Moby
Central Park is one of my favorite places on the planet . there is always something to do , even if you don't want to do anything. the actors and the stage changes everyday.
It is the one blessing with old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them,

A stroll in the park with Holli , Jeanna and Lee.
What the camera sees and records is totally different than what I see , as such I have to compensate out in the field and again when I get home to come as close to what was before me within my own mind.
case in point , this photo below , which I took in the middle of nowhere the other day in the ADK was not going to be what I wanted . It was a beautiful location and wanted a keepsake , so I experimented in the field for a while getting as close to how I seen it until I could get home to put the finishing touches on it.
This is almost perfect as to what I was trying to capture.
I rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself , than be crowded on a velvet cushion.
Henry David Thoreau
Though my soul may set in darkness , it will rise in perfect light;I have love the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
