Photos and Comments - the Continuing Series

 I keep discovering more photos I shot with negative/positive film and then scanned.  So I think I will have a never-ending supply to post here.  Without further adieu, here are my selections for this post.

The above photo was taken under the giant (and famous) fig tree along US 101 in Santa Barbara.  Probably late 1980s although it could have been taken today.

A lake outside of Phoenix, Arizona, 1970s.

Ocean Front Walk at Venice Beach - early 1980s.

The bottom photo was part of something that was being filmed - on Ocean Front Walk at Venice Beach, near the basketball courts.

World-Renowned Vaccinologist Publishes Paper Admitting Lack of Vaccine Safety Studies.  I mentioned this in my last post but this is a more detailed look at vaccine "safety."  And in case you missed my past  vaccine posts on this blog, check out this week's The Highwire.  

A New Blog Post with Old Photos & New Comments

The hardest part of these blog posts is knowing what to say in the title.  Some of you may be wondering why I switched from posts on FB to blog posts here.  It's because I can add links here that my FB memories have shown as missing, plus too many ads and other things popping up on my timeline.  Here are the new old photos for this week.  Hope you enjoy them as well as the comments.

A cutout of Reagan and a beautiful young local Venice girl named Jana.  Having photographed many models, I used to tell her she should go into modeling.  I don't know if that influenced her but she became a top model.  A wonderful person and a beautiful model.  You never know who you might meet along Ocean Front Walk at Venice Beach.

Joey the Clown - along Ocean Front Walk, Venice Beach, early to mid 1980s.  

Some fun at KABC - the girl delivered birthday telegrams.  Those kinds of telegram companies were a big thing in the 1980s.  I wonder if they still are?

LAPD beach patrol officer in front of the old Venice Beach Pavilion, early 1980s.  I used to have some nice conversations with him.  I heard he had quit the LAPD and went into teaching.

In the mid 1980s I drove a Limo for a company called Limo, Limo, Limo.  Here are two of my passengers in the back of the limo, the one on the left raised show horses in FL, and the one on the right was a weather girl for a TV station at the time.

Finally, for this week, a photo from a movie set in Santa Monica.  I don't know if that girl was posing for me or I just got a lucky shot but either way, love the result.

COMMENTS

So much has happened over the past couple of weeks, from the attempted assassination of Trump to Biden not seeking re-election, and Harris being the nominee now.  Plus the Crowdstrike software upgrade caused computer systems worldwide to malfunction.  If my computer does that, I have an older backup computer.  Why didn't they have a backup computer system?

The above facts are probably the only truthful things in the news, other than perhaps local accidents and things of that nature.  Unfortunately, the lies are coming fast and furious from the mainstream media.  If it involves health, politics, environment, immigration, etc., whatever the news says is happening, it's most likely the opposite.  What can you do?  Think critically, do your own research from neutral experts, observe, don't believe the news, and use common sense.  

What does Dr. Henry Plotkin (the Godfather of vaccines, as he is known, and author of the textbook on vaccines) say about their safety, under oath?  Watch The Highwire to learn the truth about vaccines from those who wrote the book on it.  Pretty much what I've been saying on this blog for the past 9 years.

Also, this doctor and I are in complete agreement.  Click to hear what he has to say.  Only 2 minutes, 40 seconds.

Old Photos & New Comments

 I started this on July 16th but got sidetracked with all that is going on, plus still working on old photos.  Here are some new old photos (an oxymoron?) that I hope you enjoy.

Many photos I shot at Venice Beach have boring skies - usually not a cloud in sight.  I added some in the above shot.  This is another one from the early 1980's when half the people along Ocean Front Walk had skates on, myself included.

Arizona desert and lake - may be from the 1970's.

Armed and dangerous above.  Although you'd never guess it.  Shot in Santa Monica by the beach.

Someone I met while out skating.  Early 1980's again.

COMMENTS

Tonight, on the evening news, they said Trump & RFK Jr. lied about vaccines.  The evening news lied, as they always do, saying vaccines were safe and effective, and studied meticulously.  Turned out the liars were the media (and not Trump & RFK Jr), as usual.  Dr. Stanley Plotkin is known as the godfather of vaccinology and wrote the book on vaccines.  The media gets most of their income from drug company advertising, which should never have been allowed.  Only one other country allows this - New Zealand.  If you are interested in your health and well-being, and that of your children and families, the below article is a must read.  Hopefully, you've learned this over the past 4 years from C0v!d.  Whether the news media is talking about vaccines, global warming, illegal immigration, the economy, or politics, the opposite of what they report is most likely a lot closer to the truth (or perhaps is the truth).

After decades of Dr. Stanley Plotkin and his vaccinologist disciples insisting vaccines are the most well studied products on the planet, they just penned an article admitting precisely the opposite.

Old and New Photos, plus Comments

 I've been working on a few hundred photos I scanned from negatives and slides over the past couple of weeks.  Each time I thought I was finished with the dust spots I found more of them as I was fixing the color balance or other imperfections.  They are still not perfect but will be posting them here anyway.  Hope you find them interesting.

Ocean Front Walk, Venice Beach - early 1980s

Santa Barbara beach, July 4th, early 1980s - Party time!

Occasionally I manage to sneak into a photo.  Sometime around 1980.

In front of The Sand Castle building at Santa Monica Beach.  Colorful is nice.  Early 1980s.

Ocean Front Walk, Venice Beach.  She was a regular skater out there.  And that's Harry Perry - still playing his guitar (an electric one, now) out on Ocean Front Walk.  Taken around 1980 or so.

If you are a concerned citizen, then you should read this and sign the  Hope Accord Petition.

People have said, "You are not a doctor," or you are not a "______________," when discussing Covid.  It's as if they don't understand how education works - that you got your facts from the best and most honest doctors, virologists, epidemiologists, vaccinologists, etc.  Then you use critical thinking and ask yourself if what they said was logical and if it makes sense.  This brings me to know years ago what is now reported was the truth:  Sweden's response to Covid.

Old Photos, New Sotware, Plus the Usual Comments

 I recently scanned several hundred old B&W (Black & White) negatives from the 1970s to the mid-1980s.  Some were out of focus or there was movement and most had dust spots, so it took a while to fix these imperfections.  Usually, in the past, when I shot a roll of film, I would go through them and choose which ones to print.  I used mostly ON1 Photo Raw, also Lightroom, and for the dust spots, Photoshop when ON1 couldn't eliminate some of those.  I was going to post some photos from the Mar Vista street fair from last Saturday but still working on them with ON1 - still learning the program.

She was on a break in a movie filming and I asked her if I could take some photos of her.

COMMENTARY

Check out The Highwire on any day and scroll through the hundreds of videos that might interest you.  In addition, you can go to my previously posted list of doctors and scientists and follow them on X.

I tried to keep this really short, but then this just came out:  

CDC Panel Recommends COVID Vaccines for Ages 6 Months and Up Amid Concerns Doctors Afraid to Recommend Shots

The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices on Thursday also recommended everyone 6 months and older get a flu shot.

Just what people need, a shot that is all risk and no benefit, and if someone gets injured they have to pay all the medical bills (or funeral expenses) so some people can get rich, who wouldn't want that?  Once again, please do your research, just not from the CDC or news media.

Oh, and there was this also:  "The CDC’s Demetre Daskalakis gave an agency update on Thursday morning, declaring, “Vaccines work, even when they don’t,” when explaining that people who got the mpox vaccine and still got mpox had a milder infection." Amazing how they try to spin things. There is no way 2 know if a person got a milder infection than if he didn't get the vax.

New Photos (Alli, Jaime, Paul, Chris) from the Paddle Tennis courts at Venice Beach...plus Comments

 I've taken over 2,000 photos of paddle tennis over the years since I started playing.  I stopped for a while but with lots of new players, I recently shot some more at the courts.  The photos below show Alli, Chris, Jaime, and Paul, nice and outstanding players, who are always fun to play with.  Hope you enjoy the following images.

COMMENTS

Just a few more lies they told.  HCQ (Hydroxychloroquine) and Ivermectin were worthless even as doctors were saving thousands with their use.  Meanwhile, their protocol of Remdesivir was causing kidney failure and death (extremely toxic).  And more people were dying from ventilator use than without them.  But don't believe me, do your own fact-checking.  I've probably omitted some of their other lies but there were too many to keep track of!

If there is something positive about the last four years, it's this:  more people than ever are discovering they don't care about your health and they will lie repeatedly.  Then they'll blame everyone else for misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation (that last one is when we tell the truth but it goes against their agenda).
