to appreciate the beauty of a snowflake it is necessary to stand out in the cold

Hanging out in the Chief's birthing and on the foc'sle of USCGC Ingham, commissioned 1936, retired in 1988. 52 years of service in WWII and Vietnam--the only U.S. still afloat to have sunk a German submarine and win two Presidential Unit Citations. Used by Gen. Douglas MacArthur as his flagship dyring the liberation of Corregidor in the Philippines in 1944. Originally displayed at Patriots Point, South Carolina, but moved to Key West due to severe neglect. Ironically, this magnificent Coast Guard Cutter is the last U.S. ship of any service I walked aboard before retiring from the Navy in September. (28 July 2017).

the nicest thing about the rain is that it always stops eventually

hope is a good thing maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies

I've taken my destiny into my own hands and I'm in a happy place

we live in a society that you have to look a certain way to be excepted into this world

at night the fog was thick and full of light and sometimes voices

don’t cry because summer is over smile because it happened

The Pacific Aviation Museum occupies historic spaces on Ford Island in Pearl Harbor. Its most iconic structure is the old Ford Island Control Tower. The tower was under construction when Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941. Exhibits include the wreckage of a Japanese plane that crashed on the Island of Ni'ihau, one of only two fixed-wing Wildcats, and a civilian plane that was caught in the middle of the Japanese formations as they approached Pearl Harbor. My uncle, Clarence Silva, did the murals that hang in the museum's exhibits. Honolulu, Hawaii. (Nathanael Miller. 20 April 2018)

life is unpredictable and I feel to some extent lighting and cinematography should be a reflection of that

Hollywood, our tour guide from the Yankee Freedom III. A brilliant storyteller! Fort Jefferson on Garden Key in the Dry Tortugas. Fort Jefferson is the largest, most powerful masonry fort in the entire United States and was designed to maintain control of the entry way (and some nearby deep water anchorages) to the Gulf of Mexico. Built from 1846 - 1975 out of more than 16 million bricks, it was never finished. Dr. Samuel Mudd was held here for nearly four years after setting the broken legg of John Wilkes Boothe following the assasination of President Lincoln. Nearly 70 miles west of Key West, the Dry Tortugas mark the end of the third largest barrier reef in the world. (Nathanael Miller, 26 July 2017)
