Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Too many believe their own opinion is hard fact while the person who holds a different view is less than intelligent. That's my opinion at any rate.

I'd venture to say some people should have their cot set up in the attic....

I've enjoyed reading this thread from the original post on through the entire ensuing pages. If this were a social media thing and one was able to click "like" on responses, I'd have done that on the positive responses. Even more if a "thumbs down" were possible, I'd have clicked on that for the negative responses.

I'll add another comment that might be of interest or might not. I served with the Grant Co. Search and Rescue unit for several years. They appointed me the official videographer. I was supposed to get video of each call from beginning to end, then I'd turn the tapes over to the sheriff's office. Many times we'd be on a recovery where family or coworkers would be on hand on the shore. I was on the boat during the recovery and continue to film until the body was removed from the scene by the coroner. Very few times, but it did happen, people would question my motive. Nobody protested when I explained. I did other tasks, like keeping times for the divers as well.

Thank you Mr. Williams! My first thought went to the paparazzi. When you were with the Philadelphia Inquirer did you know Mark Sidel? That was many years ago. I served in the USCG in Kodiak, AK with him. I still have a few photos he took when one of our planes crashed on approach to St. Paul Island Loran station.

Sorry it's not as sharp as it should be. I received it in a PDF file and did a screen shot to get a JPG that would post here.

The first thought that comes to my mind is the difference between black and white versus greyscale. Others have described and illustrated color contrast. Then again- I come from a large family, my wife was an only child. We've been married 54 years. My daughter is Caucasian, her husband is Black. It would be hard to find a more compatible couple. Contrast could have something to do with the current state of affairs in government. Oh... OK, you intended this to be applied only to photography.

Stlawrence, I'm thinking they did both for years but it's been years since they've done anything other than the mag. I've got a stack of the old mags, both Popular Mechanics and Popular Science. And a few more hardbound packed away.

Great shot!! We have a couple barn owls that live here in the yard with us. Now I hear Fish and Game are considering killing barn owls in order to save the spotted owl. Not a good plan at all. This is WA state, not sure if this bad idea is broader than just our state or what.

USCG January 1966 until January 1970. Fortunate to start with QCBID when it was still Pers 1 that counted military active duty up to 5 years at 25. Retired with 30 years credit in 1996 just prior to turning 50. Life is good.
