Saturday Six - Episode 24

1. Who is the last person you took a photograph of?

My wife was the last human subject I photographed. I mostly shoot other things than humans.

2. What decade do you hold the most dear and why?

I'm an old beatnik & flower child of the sixties. Civil Rights, folk music, Jack Kerouac & Ken Kesey, Arthur Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Richard & Mimi Fariña, The Kingston Trio, jug band music - that was my era.

3. Take the quiz: What mystical creature are you?


You're a Vampire. Vampires were the creatures of
the night that were believed to live off of
human blood. Count Dracula, being the most
famous vampire, set the stereotype. They had
dark hair and pale skin from being away from
the sunlight. If they actually existed, it's
very possible they had the skin disease that
made you allergic to the sun so whenever the
sunlight would hit it, it would hurt like
crazy. They were usually snobbish and control
freaks and kept werewolves as pets.

4. What is your favorite alcoholic beverage?

Bourbon. With or without ice. In a social or business setting, in a highball glass with soda and lots of ice. Of course, as an alcoholic, clean and sober for over sixteen years, the strongest beveridge consumed these days is decaffinated coffe. Nope, it's just not the same, I agree.

5. What do you normally wear to bed?

A t-shirt in summer, a turtleneck and long johns in winter.

6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #24 from Cherie: What movie character do you most identify with?

I have an affinity with Zachary Bass, the character played by Richard Harris in the 1971 movie Man In The Wilderness. Based on a true story, "this film follows the trials of Zack Bass (Richard Harris), a hunter for an expedition led by Captian Henry (John Huston. He gets malled by a bear and left to die. The crew along with Captain Henry are faced with guilt and fear he is coming to haunt them. At one point even the Indians believe he is dead. Zack survives the ordeal and uses his wits to survive. He encounters many things along the way back, that teach him just how precious life really is. The photography in this film is stunning. It is well directed and although there are very few lines in the movie, the soundtrack is beautiful. It is a pleasure to watch and you come out of this movie feeling wonderful. Highly recommended!"

Then again, I also identify with Randle Patrick McMurphy and Daryl Poynter for entirely different reasons. But I digress ...


Have a wonderful weekend. My sincerely hope that those in peril by Hurricane Jeanne's passage survive without loss of life or property. It has been a tough hurricane season. None of you need another one. For the rest of us, be safe out there. The life you save just might be mine!
