- I believe in many things and regret nothing. I love art and a good movie and a warm bed and the darkroom and making memories and capturing the moment and several other things. I draw inspiration from artists like Salvador Dali, Anna Gaskell, Larry Clark, Cindy Sherman, Ralph Eugene Meatyard, Jeff Wall, Nan Goldin, Edward Weston, Martin Munkacsi, Lillian Bassman, and Richard Avedon. "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” –Mark Twain

Your posting was several months ago, but I just saw it today--and how timely it is. Just about the time I lapse into self-pity I am reminded of the fabulous things we have that we consider background noise and take completely for granted. We'll never notice a limb until it is gone. Such is the American way: our "starvation" is buying 59-cent tacos (as many as we want), and we complain when our air-conditioned cars are 5 years old (and run just fine!)We don't know true hardship, or live in constant fear, or have an actual risk of our rights being compromised. We have a huge sense of entitlement (not just our citizens but our undocumented visitors as well). Things that go unappreciated for a long time have a history of going away eventually.
