I'm basically an educated bum when I'm not working. When I retire, probably at age 90 or so, I hope to be able to enjoy my hobby full time. I also like dreaming; not many employment opportunities for dreamers. To bad, that; it's something I've been pretty good at. There are plenty of government jobs for bums; I just didn't want to live in Chicago and I am deeply prejudiced against the very people who would be the "right connections" to land one of those jobs. Yes, I have to admit I'm a bigot . . . just like you ; )

I will be using this Flickr account to explore "weighted fiction" in photography and prose. Weighted fiction is a form of creative expression where the creator/artist endeavors to influence how people perceive the world they live in by the artistic embellishment of the facts surrounding real people, real events and real science. When viewing material posted on my Flickr site, remember that a great deal of the photos and prose presented here is fiction that is based on reality that has been created for the purpose of influencing how you, the viewer, perceive reality, but because it is artistic fiction, it is not subject to libel laws and may or may not reflect the opinions of its creator. Remember, it is all done in fun. Viewer beware. Don’t take it too seriously. Well, actually, go ahead and take it seriously. That's it's purpose; for you to take it seriously. It is when people question my motives that they shouldn't take it seriously. Then, it's just fiction. They shouldn't get all upset because it's just fiction. Get it. That's right, like "Inherit the Wind".
