Cranky Week, End Point

So. Most of us made it through February, hip deep but happy. Spring training is underway, America’s robin redbreast of optimism and of good twilights for shooting. But all is not well in terms of “exposure.”

First, read Noah Vaugn’s rationale for not giving one’s work away, at http://photoprofessionals.wordpress.com/

Now, order a pizza and wallow in this for a while: Seth Anderson’s No You Cannot Have My Photo For Free.

A Philadelphia pharmacist beat Sir Paul by, oh, 125 years or so. The exposure was 50-60 times longer.

Diana Nyad Is My Age!

On her fifth try over 35 years Ms. Nyad was able to swim from Cuba to Florida, in just under 53 hours.

“I have three messages. One is we should never, ever give up. Two is you never are too old to chase your dreams. Three is it looks like a solitary sport but it takes a team.”

Yikes. We concurred this afternoon, in the Heart Office at the Huge School, that we automatically recoil from news video.

But wait: is this coincidence, or is it a case of waiting for a shoe to drop? The mind boggles. (I feel like I got the scoop.)

Greetings From Erman

Here is a terrific document, unearthed by Ms H. the other day. When you click on these images, they are close to actual size on your laptop screen.

Physiography! Caesar! Shorthand! Civics! (I maintain that Civics should return to the curriculum.) I don’t know what enrollment was, but it had to be under 50 students: the town population was around 1750.

For perspective, consider that Armistice Day, occurring at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month to mark the end of “the war to end all wars,” had yet to occur.

As Wikipedia would say: “Citation needed.”

What’s missing from the curriculum? (Hint: it begins with “A”).
