Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving should be about celebrating this great country and families.  We should be enjoying family and friends while consuming tasty food and drinks.  Instead, the day has become a day of record profits for companies.  Companies are opening those stores on thanksgiving day to give us the opportunity to spend money we don't have.  Thanksgiving is no longer about family it is now a marketing campaign to get us to the stores a day sooner for monetary things that are meaningless.  Thanksgiving is a time to come together and focus on the ones we love.  This priceless and no sale is worth giving up that.  Please consider that before you walking into those stores that forces employees (employees that won't be with their families) to work on the day that celebrates the coming together of family.

second layer of the fourth poster, hope to be done soon and will post the final poster and the poem.

 These will be the before pics.  Finally getting the time to put together my darkroom with great guidance and mentor ship from Ruthie.  I hope to be printing in 2013.

 So picked up a Conley panaromic slash cabinet card camera from a friend.  Everything works though the bellows is shot.  I will be restoring it over the next few years.  Will keep this up to date with the progress.
