Solitude
When this photo came through from my camera yesterday, I immediately fell in love with it.
What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder, because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great person is one who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Amazing! Elvis would have been 71 if he were alive today! Maybe what Elvis needed was a good dose of solitude.

Isn't it a little vain to fall in "love" with your own work?

Not really Denny! Most people have favorite works if they make stuff.
I have favorite photographs as well as favorite stuff I've made. No big deal!

I cannot get any email through to your address so I ask you here why you have chosen not to come to Tasmania?

Hi Denny!
Fact is Hon, I have one leg to heal and besides that, I have things to do here if capable.
As I said, if I go down there, it would be more for photography than idle chat. There would be time for chat of course! But, I really do want to photograph if I go.
That may sound a little harsh and I'm sorry about that.

Harsh? It is inexcusable. You appear to have chosen your life above that of others nowadays.

Denny, I'm more concerned you can't get any email through. Are you positive you have my email address right? Can you phone you know who and check?
She can also give you my phone number which you have, but I never received your new phone number and nobody seems to know it.
Please don't type any phone numbers or email addresses here?

I have a telephone in order to use it. No I will not have anything like msn in my computer as they have viruses.

Ooooo...kaaaaaaaaay. Well, if I mentioned Skype you'd possibly deny that too so, what now?

Denny ... you are a puzzlement ... I have already told you why I'm not going to Tassy.
The only reason I am still up is because I am sifting through photos on the comp, what's your excuse.

Most precisely not. She will pass it to others and it is a private phone number.

Well, give msn a go tomorrow - or Skype as that's even better. You can always clean the viruses out - or your techie can if you can't.
Do you want to talk to me about something really urgent?

I will not have msn or that Skype thing in my computer! I have told you that and what I want to talk to you about is my business.
