A Life in Photographic Art 1971-Today
Memorial Day Parade 1972 Stratford Ct. The Stratford News. The first staff position.
Abington Ct. The Aries House 1972 Music, Art, Friends, fresh food to share adventures.
Me Cosey Beach E. Haven Ct. already serious. The War drags on the profits roll in the body count every night on the evening news and that’s the way it is 1972 and today. The War Drones on. We’re only a pawn in their game.
Norwichtown Cemetery from pre-revolution to to French Troops who fought beside us in the revolution and on to now. Is that not enough? Almost 300 hundred years. Take a moment today to reflect on what Memorial day means. “But what may be needed to return the solemn, and even sacred, spirit back to Memorial Day is for a return to its traditional day of observance. Many feel that when Congress made the day into a three-day weekend in with the National Holiday Act of 1971, it made it all the easier for people to be distracted from the spirit and meaning of the day. As the VFW stated in its 2002 Memorial Day address: “Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt, this has contributed greatly to the general public’s nonchalant observance of Memorial Day.” from Memorial Day History. Have a listen to Bobby Darin’s “Simple Song of Freedom” I like Tim Hardin’s version better. peace pjc
Take a moment, say a pray, support the troops bring them home.
Bitter cold, snow and gusting winds blew in 2009! Yet it was warm and quiet in my world. New year, new plan, perhaps I’ll enter the new millennium? Not one to make snap decisions I’ll ponder a little longer. Pondering is a lost art I still practice, considering different viewpoints asking Why? There was a party [not New Years] for the holidaze a small gathering of friends who came together for M+Ms and Mexican food but mostly to share some love for a friend home for the Holidaze from Iraq. Why? Why are we there again? or what is this nano seconds explanation/spin?
There was also booze, fireworks cookies real and genuine imitation Ginger Bread. Just rambling here, a couple new late 2008 images and attempts to figure out what comes next. Peace would be different but don’t bet the refinanced home on it. enjoy pjc
