314 Exercise.. or the lack there of.

When I first saw this image I though EXERCISE..  But it is obvious it is the lack of exercise; but it got me to thinking..  What is exercise? is it just physical or does it apply to other areas too?  Thinking further I realized all the things we possess that we fail to use in exercising other body systems..   How long has it been since you read and exercised your mind ?  Or do you just wait for someone to tell you what it says/means?  How long has it been since you reached out to others and exercise your soul/spirit?  Or do you just wait for someone else to do it?

Might i suggest you read a Bible.  And use your mind to hear it love and wisdom..   Get out and share with others this love and wisdom..  And I promise you will feel much much better..    And the world around you will be better too..  Be Blessed..

16: Photojournalism and Bicycles

Back on image 11 I mentioned the police delivered a message to me. One reason I was so easy to find was; first it was a small town, but more important I, like most kids of the day, was out and about on my bicycle. In those days we got out right after breakfast and came home in time for supper. Living in a small town, before the era of scanners and such, the only way you knew something was going on was to listen for the emergency vehicles, and the bicycle allowed you to hear and get there. I carried my camera in a Knapsack, purchased from the Army-Navy Surplus store, attached to the rear luggage rack of the bicycle. I played the part of photojournalist for several years mounted on my trusty Columbia bicycle.



Most of my photos except street shots are envisioned before the Image is captured. This one is no exception. I envisioned an old style bicycle with handlebars that looked like handle bars. Do you know how hard it is to find an old style bicycle; almost impossible. Seems like modern bicycles are like modern cameras, it is difficult to find a quality camera or bicycle without a bunch of seldom used bells and whistles.
