And where can I get a suit like that?  The checked one, I mean. 

I've been saying for a long time that I was going to start working on new stories, new processes, new images, but that has been happening only very rarely.  This blog has not attracted a lot of readers nor has it kept the ones who do come.  I had a model I shot with a while back complain last night that I said I was changing the photography but that I keep doing the same thing.  It is true and it is not.  I rarely shoot in the studio anymore, and when I do, I try to make it different. . . but you do best what you do most, then you do most what you know how to do.  She is right, though, and I'm not sure what to do.  The combo of not gaining audience shares (I heard that on t.v.) and being redundant in what I do (though the most perceptive will see that some things have changed) have brought about a creative crisis.  I may stop posting until I have a different kind of image to work with.  Or I may post stories without pictures.  It is difficult to say.  I am addicted to this incessant talking and showing off.  Whining and bragging. 

But back to the first paragraph.  There are even more horrors than the NSA and secret courts, things that are not secret, that happen right before your eyes.  Who can stand up to Monsanto and Bill Gates?  They own most of the world, I think.  The fact that they now have their own military. . . well, you can decide for yourself if it makes you sleep better at night.   Here's the story (link). 

Whatever happened to the Blue Beetle?
