Hi Bill,

Taking a long look at the flickr account and I've gotta say (disclaimer: Dave,as you know, is not an art world professional, just a guy that looks - and thank the fates for that) you're doing work now that is as good as or better than you've ever done.  Thanks and praises!

Love,  Dave

b.s. I just freed up some wall space!  Unclear on your current pricing strategy.  $199 plus cost?  My music income slush fund is stacking up.

Dave   i can't say yet if i agree with your  "as good as or better"    

it takes me so much look-feel time to make my educated "yes"

there are always the few i have an immediate affinity for   i think.   

   worse   as good as or better   bill

ohh  this past week   today
w/long-soft-push from Nancy   og Norway-Dan's
I finished "vaulting" = vintage prints ready for the foggy $ future
signed  sleeved  boxed   all are in my 3x7 studio under-the-stairs
999+   4x6s   5x7s   8x10s    239-Dan-printed 10x10s    11x14s +
Y'all come

Charlie liked me because I was an older irreverant
literally   I practiced daily farting in chapel   +
who's Charlie?
Charlie Webb   Midland  '52 - '55   quiet fit-in  misfit
later  "The Graduate"  n sold the rights fer $10k
li'l dumbass ?     $ rebel     role model !
we drank wild turkey n talked-shit
VW bus  in his camp-ground  💙   the '80s
what reminded?   saved n found:

who's Wheeler?  our Midland comrade    later:

lost Charlie - last word   he n Eve were nudist camping in England

very sadly   Wheeler is gone

I'm waiting til age 88 ... 98 to get really depressed about not selling

answer to a fellow Flickr guy:
You are very welcome  Kellee!
I happened to use a camera when there were relatively few of us
Now  we are many many
Flickr is a fine showplace to discover beauties
"the institutions" are sadly missing
I don't miss "the institutions" at all  but  the people in them!
My pleasure  Bill

where have i been?
today:
Thanks again fa-sho! Happy I re-found them. (his pictures on Flickr)
This is the page for my personal faves 
which I edit and move around, over time-fun-consumption
+:  sweet x-pro1 tech SF. leica to fuji - mine always look so preferably-lovably crude. finally found my 'last' machine:  sony's rx10 = I don't need no stinkin' sensor ...

i'd best get out here n there  takin' pics  r  i won't have a head ta piss on

we must confront our centuries old consciousness
white-supremacy   white-privilege   white-entitlement
slavery - the means to capitalism's 'success'

regrets
Nancy did not have the opportunity to live with a 'mature' person

i just bloody played the age card
bad ol'li'lbilly

The thing about our BIO-CV-Résumé 'business'

​bad⇆good
+/- It is about speculations-​capitalism​-'culture'-time-place-chance
luck-color-gender-politics connections ​ and truckin'...
Unless we live 'in-common'

We would still have to KEEP ON TRUCKIN'... in our commonist towns!​

Re:  Bernie's J Street speak  I sent you

Hello Jewish Man (who invited me to talk over lunch)

I finally found a way to your responding

I have agreed to disagree with no-one I can recall

That's probably because I never heard from them again

You are not no-one   so I just can't agree to ... bla bla  

&  I try very hard to do touchy-stuff  only with people I agree with

If I were Jewish  I'd probably say this n that

Too many dead and dying in your history  for me to do a lunch-over  

Bernie  Chomsky  Klein  Oz +  do happen to speak for me   

There's no missing talk talk 

I'm mostly sad  and amazed by all of us 

Thank you  that was good food  and didn't cost a cent

an election process that brought out our best capitalist selves
Bernie would have won
this president talks an explosive adventure in values clarification
! will Folks get harmed beyond our capitalist 'norms' ?

So many generous You-People have visited my pictures
at  Flickr  Fb  + +
This sharing is why I happily left picture-postcarding
Os  Bill

Flickr chain de license-fun started w/this picture, "Oakland":

Superbe cliché !

Bill Dane 

I love cliche:
"a phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought.
the old cliché “one man's meat is another man's poison.”
synonyms: platitude, hackneyed phrase, commonplace, banality, old saying, maxim, truism, stock phrase, trite phrase, old chestnut ... "

I don't like "shot" (cliché also means 'shot')
étreinte

William Keckler 

 I think Robbe-Grillet's Cliches were pretty original. Wait, his title was Instantanés. (Same difference: cliché instantané.) Love this photo for the pathos and the surprise the eye feels as it moves left to right. Prayer: what good is it unless it brings us in communion with the earth? And no safe place for a spirit like this one, who "cannot" be seen as spirit. Body. Slave. "Amusement." Stolen child. But the way the hand in contact seems to be asking, "Are you alright?"

WK! rockin' willy encore

  Those are good times, good minds.

  Bill Dane 
  the intensity-engagement of all (w/camera & joie) probably saved my head de fissures plus profondes
  alors Celexa est arrivé dans les années '90s
  The point being, You Head-Write Good, WK!
