Did i ever tell you the story about my beginnings as a photographer in 1980 at age 16 and the "Butt Book?" i was on the yearbook staff in high school. did everything, including staff photographer. anyway, back in the 70s, the editor of yearbook staff & her team started the Butt Book for kicks! they'd go around taking pics of guys' butts!! nothin' else...just their backside! wide angle, macros, LOL! It was tradition every year for the new yearbook staff to contribute & pass it on! Even the guys participated! my friend Kenny...now he got some classics at the football games!!!! anyway, remembering those days makes me smile. Kenny's senior year...well, he and i and a couple of our buddies skipped school for an hour or so and went cruisin' in classic DeSoto!!!!!!!! Oh Man!!!!! What a JOY!!!!! anyway, sorry for the journey down memory lane. funny what memories pop up when we look at pictures!!!!

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
