Snatch Man
When I was in college, I played basketball at a local park with a guy who was a "reposession agent" for GMAC. In other words he drove a tow truck taking cars from people who didn't pay their loans or lapsed their insurance, etc. He said that in the "bad neighborhoods" he would drive down the street and people would yell and point from their porches "there goes the snatch man".
If you've been reading this blog, I take far too many pictures through my front windshield with my point and shoot. Let's hope that one day my posting is not a shot of my deployed air bag.
In case you couldn't read the plate.

Where Is Osama Bin Laden?
60 Months Ago, Osama Bin Laden knocked down our towers and killed 3,000 Americans. Yet we allow him to remain at large because we are not willing to go into Pakistan and capture him.
In December 1941, the Japanese attacked the US at Pearl Harbor. 44 months later, they surrendered having been defeated (along with Germany).
During the war the following was true:
We didn't ask France or any other country for their blessing to defend ourselves, nor did we care what their opinion was.
We didn't allow German and Japanese tourists and students to continue to come to America.
We didn't trade with them.
We didn't try to seperate the "good Germans" and "good Japanese" from the bad. Most Germans were not members of the Nazi party but there was pleanty of support for Hitler. In Japan, the Emporer was worshiped as a living God.
We didn't and still haven't apologized for fire bombing Dresden or Nuking Hiroshima - and hopefully we never will. Those things had to be done. The German and Japanese people had to realize that to survive in this world they had to change their thinking or perish. Clearly they chose survival and no longer pose a threat others. But to get there they had to be brought to their knees.
Now some 60 years later we face a similar threat once again. Only instead of dealing with the problem, we try to dance around it. It's not even "politically correct" to state this, but I will:
Islam Is A Terrorist Cult
Are there, "good Islamics" just as there were good Germans and Japanese? Sure, but they don't make the rules. So there is only one answer if we are to survive. We must deal with Islam, just like we dealt Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. They must be broken and forced to change their thinking and behavior, just like their predecessors.
It's time to take the gloves off. We are in WWIII and it's time we started acting like it.

Memory Lane
Since the summer is ended, I thought I would share some cool stuff that I shot this year.
These are from a car show I attended in St. James, NY at a place called Flowerfield. Sadly, there won't be many more shows here as Stony Brook University has decided to steal this land by seizing it through eminent domain. For those of you unfamiliar with SBU, it's a state U with literally acres and acres of undeveloped land. They don't need to seize the neighbors land if they need a few new buildings - what they are doing is wrong and at some levels threaten all of us.
It was actually hard to get images of these cars without reflections of other cars as they are mirror polished and parked in close proximity to each other. I tried to use the reflections to make some cool images.
The owner of this Mustang was proudly boasting that this car was currently being featured in a commercial for Ford starring Derek Jeter and Spike Lee. Spike drove this car in the commercial.

This is when a Cadillac was a Cadillac! My grandfather had one with fins when I was young.
Clearly those baby boomers are aging.
My first car was a Dodge Challenger, just like this one. I had it for many years through High School and College. Boy do I wish I had it back now.

Off And Running
Since it's taken me over a year to get my own photosite and blog up and running (I've already had to renew the domain), I decided to get in the game with a preformatted blog. So, until I finish my little project, which is just not at the top of my priorities for now, this will just substitute.
So for the next few weeks, months, or even years - this will temporarily provide a site for me to post some of the day to day stuff I like to shoot.
I hope you all enjoy.
Although I shot this a few weeks ago, it says how I feel about the end of summer - SAD!!! I hate the fall, every day gets colder (statistically anyway) and shorter.
