I had to post an archive shot of this House Finch because I had one of those extremely frustrating days with a camera. I took my old Panasonic for a test run before I decided whether or not to keep it. I wish I had brought one of my Sony cameras. What I got very blurry pics of: a beaver, a osprey, a kingfisher, wood ducks and a pied-billed grebe. I could scream! If I had brought my Sony I'd have something to post! The Panasonic (which I dropped two years ago and has suffered greatly ever since) is still good for closeup shots. I'm going to give it, with batteries, a charger, and an SD card, to Goodwill. Maybe someone with less high expectations than I have will enjoy it. I am a "pixel peeper."
Photo of a photo, obvs. I was going through some photos last night and found a couple I thought I'd put up. I'm starting to marvel at how much my face has changed and not changed at the same time.
This was taken in the last couple of weeks in San Diego. Either late July or early August, 1999. I was crossing the border into Tijuana to get myself a monkey on a surfboard. Two of my friends from the UK were with me (taking the shot).
This used to be a standard pose of mine whenever a camera appeared. I didn't used to be so camera shy. I'm a little sad to discover how I've changed in that vein.

Those days we just used to grab the camera and some lights, and in this case a wedding dress... drive around and just play where the light seemed good.
Taken with the Nikon Z 8 w/ Nikkor Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S w/ Z TC-1.4X teleconverter. As you can see it's a fabulous lens, and so light weight I miss it already. However I actually don't think it's that much better than my NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR w/ Z TC-1.4X teleconverter.
The weight factor is a big deal at just over 3 lbs. But even at only 3 lbs. it's still to heavy for an 81 year old fellow that has been beating the stuffings out of myself my whole life.
With, count em' 2 torn rotator cuffs. And if I have to go through that much pain to left my camera and lens, it's hardly anything compared to the pain I've been going through thinking about the pain and suffering I have to endure parting with nearly 5 grand, now that's real pain. If had unlimited funds, I'd keep it in a heart beat.
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

And the archiving of my work continues. Now I am getting all of the drawings (well over a hundred), from Noёl Riley Fitch and my book “Paris Café: The Sélect Crowd,” labelled and in order. They were done in sketchbooks between 1995 and 2007. My sketchbooks are dated and numbered. Luckily, I put the sketchbook number on the back of the drawings. They had been cut out. So, it was very easy to find the year each drawing was done. Still more to do…..
(From my personal digital photo archive, 2010)
Berlin is a true gem for history lovers, as it is full of corners where many events of its long history as a city and also as the capital of Germany took place.
The so-called "Albert Speer Candelabra" (in German "Speer Kandelaber", also called "OWA Kandelaber", OWA are the German initials for "Ost-West-Achse" because they were part of the East-West Axis project, which in turn was one of the parts of the project "Germania Capital of the World", in German "Welthauptstadt Germania").
These candelabra were part of this East-West Axis from the Brandenburg Gate, for seven kilometers to what is now called Theodor-Heuss-Platz (in honor of the first President of Germany after World War II), which was previously called Adolf-Hitler-Platz and before that also Reichskanzlerplatz.
These candelabra were designed by the Berlin Energy and Light Limited Company (Berliner kraft- und licht-Aktiengesellschaft), because they had to meet a special lighting requirement along the entire Axis, which had to span a bridge over the Canal Landwehr at the Charlottenburg gate, without raising the bridge height too much and yet the channel had to remain navigable.
Albert Speer designed the outside of those candelabra.
Part of these candelabra, more like street lamps, had to be dismantled on the avenue now known as Avenue of June 17 ("Straße des 17. Juni", which was then called "Charlottenburger Chaussee"), since the part of the avenue that it is included between the Brandenburg Gate and the Victory Column, in the last weeks of World War II, during the Battle of Berlin when the city's airports were no longer usable, as they were taken over by the Red Army, it was used for the take off and landing of Luftwaffe aircrafts.
Some 800 candelabra have been preserved since 1936, which have been repaired several times and are among the few remaining living vestiges of that megalomaniac project called "Germania World Capital", and despite the past time they continue to have a modern design reminiscent of works of art arising from the time of the Staatliche Bauhaus.

LOS CANDELABROS DE ALBERT SPEER, 2010
(De mi archivo personal de fotos digitales, 2010)
Berlín es una auténtica joya para los amantes de la historia, pues está lleno de rincones donde ocurrieron muchos eventos de su dilatada historia como ciudad y también como capital de Alemania.
Los llamados "candelabros de Albert Speer" (en alemán Speer Kandelaber, también llamados OWA Kandelaber, OWA son las iniciales en alemán de "Ost-West-Achse" por que formaban parte del proyecto el Eje Este-Oeste, que a su vez era una de las partes del proyecto "Germania Capital del Mundo", en alemán Welthauptstadt Germania).
Estos candelabros formaron parte de este Eje Este-Oeste desde la puerta de Brandenburgo, durante siete kilómetros hasta la hoy llamada Theodor-Heuss-Platz (en honor del que fue primer Presidente de Alemania después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial), que antes se llamó Adolf-Hitler-Platz y antes también Reichskanzlerplatz.
Estos candelabros fueron diseñados par la Sociedad Anónima de Energía y Luz de Berlín (Berliner kraft- und licht-Aktiengesellschaft), porque tenían que cumplir un requerimiento especial de iluminación a lo largo de todo el Eje, que tenía que salvar un puente sobre el Canal Landwehr en la puerta de Charlottenburg, sin levantar demasiado la altura del puente y sin embargo el canal tenía que seguir siendo navegable.
Albert Speer diseñó la parte exterior de esos candelabros.
Parte de estos candelabros, más bien farolas, se tuvieron que desmontar en la avenida que se conoce ahora como Avenida del 17 de Junio ("Straße des 17. Juni", que entonces se llamaba Charlottenburger Chaussee), pues la parte de la avenida que está comprendida entre la Puerta de Brandenburgo y la Columna de la Victoria, en las últimas semanas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, durante la Batalla de Berlín cuando los aeropuertos de la ciudad no eran ya utilizables, pues estaban tomados por el Ejército Rojo, fue utilizada para el despegue y aterrizaje de aviones de la Luftwaffe.
Desde 1936 se conservan unos 800 candelabros, que se han reparado varias veces y son de los pocos vestigios vivientes que quedan de aquél megalómano proyecto llamado "Germania Capital Mundial", y a pesar del tiempo pasado siguen teniendo un diseño moderno que recuerda las obras de arte surgidas de la época de la Staatliche Bauhaus.
