Sharon has that look that she gave Bob Mueller. You can tell what she is thinking. No such thing as the truth in politics or photography.
Me? Don’t guess. I will never forget, but today, who knows if I remember.

Linda, Bird Photographer and Birder
I see her all the time when Sharon and I walk in nearby nature preserves. She draws a crowd of photographers and birders. During a rain delay, I introduced myself and talked to her. She has catalogue over 300 birds at Green Cay. Her overture to do a book was rebuffed. She left in mid- conversation when the rain subsided. “I got to get a bird,” she said.

11 Street Diner, South Beach Has Sol
This lovely woman served us at the 11th Street Diner in South Beach. At first, she said no when I asked to make her portrait. She left with some dishes and returned. “I don’t like having my picture taken, she said, like many others, especially women, “but for some reason I will let you.”
A recent rejection almost ruined a workshop I attended, a mistake I won’t make again. No, I will keep asking and shooting, but no more workshops, especially with beginning photographers. They suck your time and the leaders time and they think they know more than they do.
She wrote out her e-mail address and I gave her a card. Her name was Sol, like it rhymes with soul. In Hebrew, I thought of Sol, peace. Sent her the image and she wrote back: “I really love the image, was a special moment for me. Thank you!!” Made my day.
OK Today
Must be doing OK, cause I look like I am. Doing the best I can with what I have and trying not to worry about what I missed out on, failed at or didn’t try.
