Scary Times Ahead? Thankfully, There Will Always Be Beauty Through Photography.

Old photos and new software can transform old faded and damaged photos into, well, take a look below.  I'm randomly picking some and then experimenting with them.  In the past, I've used a paint program to change some photos which I've posted in various places.

For the girl in the woods (taken near Fredonia, NY) the software added much more detail and sharpened the image overall.  Plus changed the tone.  There are always almost infinite tones and adjustments that can be made, more with color images.  These were shot with B & W film.




Below are some of my continuing series of beautiful people from in and around Venice Beach, CA, and may include other beach areas from Santa Monica to Redondo Beach.

At the Hare Krishna Festival of the Chariots free food feast.

Spectator at Venice Beach Paddle tennis tournament.


Having been a skater for about 27 years (in Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Venice, and Santa Monica, I always enjoy photographing beautiful skaters.

Besides TheHighwire.com, another great resource can be found HERE at Children's Health Resource...and it's more than only for children.

I saw the following on my newsfeed on FB:


Whoever wrote this is the one who needs to be educated.  Although you are telling actual facts and the truth based on research, studies, observations, etc., it goes against what some entity wants people to believe.  Everything independent world-leading experts were saying about the Covid response was called a conspiracy theory.  The independent experts all turned out to be correct.  Masks didn't slow the spread, lockdowns didn't work, shots did nothing positive (and, in fact, increased the chances of getting Cvd!), distancing did nothing, etc.  That the shots kill people is still called a conspiracy theory but the research and statistics show it's also the truth.  Thankfully, there are extremely intelligent people researching that.  Here is a link with proof it is not a conspiracy theory.  So I hope you are one of the growing numbers who see through the lies and research the "conspiracy theories" if you value your health and your life - both depend on it.

Once you realize you have been lied to by anyone, why would you believe anything they say?  I'm sure those who post things like the above "Conspiracy Theories" do no critical thinking or research and blindly follow the news.

Here is another person's view about Conspiracy Theories.  

Global Warming, warmest temperatures on record - fact or fiction?  Well, the temperatures have been gradually increasing but have been nowhere near where they once were.  66 Million Years of Earth Temperatures.  Here is the chart:


No industry, no cars or planes, or burning of fossil fuels back then, so how could that be?  But blaming it on these things is sure a good way for a few to make lots of money.  Not to mention taking away your means of travel.  And keep people living in fear.  If you should be afraid of anything, be very afraid of a new virus they just developed in China that has a 100% kill rate.  And of a new vaccine for that virus.  And for their response to global warming.  

Still believe the news?  Remember when they said smoking was good for you?  Smoking causes cancer was a conspiracy theory.  They lied, too, when they said margarine was healthier than butter.  The conspiracy theorists were the smart ones.  How many people believed radio & TV and died from heart disease and cancer as a result.  Not to mention the suffering.  My father was one of those.

So, it's not more satisfying to one's ego, it's more conducive to one's health.  Most of what was written in that box above is the real BS, the only thing that's not is putting in the work and dedication to finding the truth.  Things I look at when choosing which experts to go to are their credentials, their published studies, their motivation, are they risking their careers and life's work by speaking out, does common sense back up what they are saying? etc.

I've put everything I've researched and learned on this blog.  It has a search bar.  I've listed the experts I follow, links to studies, etc.  Some of the old links may not work these days but hopefully, most of them do.  In the future, I may just link to this page unless some new information becomes available.
