    Jerry,

    Your in Seattle, try this a nice easy chair, fire in the fire place, a nice glass of port. Give it a try, if that dose not work try a second glass of port.

    Re: A good read......"Art and Fear"

    Read both...Art and Fear a couple of times, The View... just once so far. Very (extremely) good reads. I have a "Quote of the Week" I put up outside my office door (photo storeroom, etc for the university) along with a photo of the week. If I am not putting up a quote by Herman Hesse or from The Essential Crazy Wisdom (http://www.amazon.com/The-Essential-.../dp/1580083463), something from Art and Fear or The View... usually goes up!

    What are these 'artists' I keep hearing about? I've never met one. Am I an 'artist'? All I know is 'humans'. In other words, 'people'. The guy next door who paints (apartments). The uncle with a dSLR who takes pictures of flowers, and has 2 or 3 of his best in every room of his house. The other uncle who bowls (not very well), with a glass of rum & coke in his hand, and a wry smile as he discusses the merits of different weed killers for 'broadleafs' (whatever those are). And myself, who can't tell the difference between Ilford DD-X and Ilfosol 3.

    as I think Amazon has enough money, why not order it directly from Ted Orland and give him a little extra support. check out this link and get a autographed copy

    I saw that the Big A had a audio copy, to bad that David and Ted did not do the narration of the book. Now that would be something to have. If you ever get a chance to see and listen to Ted and David do so it is great fun. And YES do order the book from Ted it will make it much more fun. I would see Ted just about every year at Al Weber's Rendezvous. And I would get a stack of books from him. When Ted was doing a listing of book sellers he told me that I was like third or forth in the state in of book sellers. Like I said it is the best 10 12 15 bucks you will spend. Oh, buy and extra one as a gift for some one.

    One of our professors (photo) made it required reading for a class a few years ago.
