He's 93!!!<BR/><BR/>I once tried to help him shovel his drive,he got real mad. "I can do it!" he barked. I was going to say,"but your 93." Then it occured to me that that is why he is 93. <BR/>"This is my excercise ", he added. I walked away tail between my legs, lesson learned.<BR/><BR/>Everyone else will be fat and old before their time, and that 4x5 will be your saving grace.

Quite a trick.<BR/><BR/>I have to give you props for still having the desire to do this AND be crazy enough to schlep all that extra gear for the CHANCE of a different image.<BR/><BR/>But that's why you are David Burnett and they aren't.<BR/><BR/>Isn't YouTube the biggest agent of change we've seen? Ask George Allen. How long before you are going to be shooting with a HD video camera and plucking still images off of that?arbushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364467514665819717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26527197.post-30699059710474626152008-03-09T09:48:00.000-04:002008-03-09T09:48:00.000-04:00hey, I'd like to get your stuff in a feed. all i c...hey, I'd like to get your stuff in a feed. all i can find is a link to feed comments. http://feeds.feedburner.com/ maybe? i have it on my site and it has really increased my traffic and the length of time they spend on the site which ultimately increases the page rank which i love watching :) have a good one :)prinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00389253484590059538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26527197.post-86651029892549503462008-03-09T09:33:00.000-04:002008-03-09T09:33:00.000-04:00Even an Army Ranger travels with less gear then yo...Even an Army Ranger travels with less gear then you.<BR/><BR/>Get a 'credit card' size point'n shoot, and ditch the 4x5 and DSLRs.<BR/><BR/>That way you can photograph the Senator and yourself with the camera at arms length at every rally.
