"You're Never Too Young To Start", a photo by Morganshev on Flickr.

The sooner we learn about the 2nd Amemdment, the stronger our nation will become. One thing the SECOND AMENDMENT INSURES, is a revolution by the Communists who hate freedom. Most of them also hate guns too, so they will simply have to learn how to live with freedom or immigrate to s socialist or Communist nation. The sooner the better. Thanks to MORGANSHEV for a photograph that exercises the mind.

What a cool selection of signs. I saw a lot of them in those great days of the 60s. Some, of course, I will never remember, as some of the years are hard to remember, but I like your profile message:

Originally uploaded by Lance & Cromwell

Of all of the photos I have discovered by browsing the Flickr photostreams, this photo is one that captures the essence of my youth.

The Monica Hotel was one of my haunts in 1960. While I was not old enough to sip cocktails, I did so without questions about my age. It was a very happy bar and I enjoyed sitting at the bar watching the beautiful people passing by. It was air-conditioned and the longer I sat inside this bar, the more joyful my mind and imagination became.

If the viewer will not the left side of the image, the old Merry Go Round on Santa Monica Pier is visible. I do not recall too much graphiti in the 60s, but I do remember many chic and sexy young people like the gal ad guy passing by.

It was a time when a few words of conversation could strike up an interesting transient relationship. Yes, those were the days.

In the far distance, one can view the Mountains where Malibu was located on PCH at the end of the pennisular range of mountains. I never worried about riding a bike, thus the sign meant nothing at all to me, I always had transportation, transient as it was, whenever the party or parties ended for the night or morning.

A SHORT ESSAY ABOUT A BLOOM AND THE HAND OF BUDDHA
Excellent composition. Ingenius contrast. Depiction of the temporal and the ages. Distance between bloom and base of stone symbolic of the unknown. Hand defines eternal security and eliminates anxiety. An image that is an experience of a spiritual nature or simply another one of our designed images to pass the time and entertain our visual senses; it is what it is to each individual, much akin to a lifetime. Should I take it for granted and assume it will be here tommorrow for another glance? Should I bother to think about it in a more profound manner or look at it once more and go on to life's next photograph, seeking always the perfect picture that will make me feel that life and death makes sense?

WHEN I SAW THIS PHOTO BY newmexico51, one of Flickr's outstanding and impressive photographers, it reminded me of how lonely the life of a creative individual can be when their obsession with creativity is such that we sometimes isolate ourselves without knowing why? But of course, it is our compulsion to be creative. A great photograph, one that will evoke different emotions by those who view it with some curiosity. Thanks to NEWMEXICO51 for permission to exhibit this work. Editor

SANTA MONICA MERRY-GO-ROUND 1960S

SANTA MONICA MERRY-GO-ROUND 1960S
Originally uploaded by roberthuffstutter

AN ESSAY ABOUT THE SANTA MONICA MERRY-GO-ROUND

ONE OF MY BEST PHOTOS. SHOT IN THE SUMMER OF 1959 WITH A BROWNIE HAWKEYE. TO BE HONEST, I CANNOT ACTUALLY VERIFY WITH ALL AUTHENTICITY THAT THE CAMERA WAS A HAWKEYE; IT WAS NOT, I ASSURE YOU, AN EXPENSIVE CAMERA OR ONE FAVORED BY THE PROFESSIONALS. NOR DID I PAY A WHOLE LOT OF ATTENTION TO MY FRAMING OF THIS IMAGE. NOW, FIFTY YEARS LATER, I AM AMAZED AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH.

TO SAY THAT I AM ELATED WOULD BE A LIE. ACTUALLY, THE IMAGE CREATES SOME DESPONDENCY CAUSED BY REGRETS. HOW I REGRET THAT I DID NOT TAKE MORE PHOTOS OF THE VENICE AND SANTA MONICA AREA THAT FIRST SUMMER OF MY YOUTH, MY FIRST SUMMER AWAY FROM HOME ON AN EXTENDED VISIT.

OKAY, MOST PEOPLE PROBABLY ASSUMED THAT I WOULD MENTION THE FACT THAT FIFTY YEARS HAS PASSED WOULD BE MY CAUSE OF DEPRESSION. OKAY, I WILL NOW ADD THAT FIFTY YEARS IS A LONG TIME. CAN I RETURN TO MY YOUTH? CAN ANYONE RETURN TO ONE'S YOUTH?

ONLY THROUGH IMAGES OF THIS NATURE CAN WE TAKE THAT IMPOSSIBLE TRIP BACK INTO TIME. THIS IS THE FAMOUS MERRY-GO-ROUND ON THE SANTA MONICA PIER IN SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA. AT THE TIME, IT WAS A MELLOW YELLOW COLOR WITH RED TRIM; AT THAT TIME, VENICE BEACH WAS NICK-NAMED "VENICE WEST" AND WAS THE HUB FOR WEST COAST BEATNIKS WHO ESCAPED GREENWICH VILLAGE WINTERS TO LOITER IN THE SUNSHINE AND READ POETRY AND DRINK ESPRESSO AT SUCH ESTABLISHMENTS AS THE VENICE WEST CAFE.

THE SOUND OF THE MERRY-GO-ROUND'S CALIOPE MUSIC AS THE ELEGANT HORSES WENT ROUND AND ROUND SOUNDED BETTER THAN THE POETRY READ IN THE LIGHT OF FLICKERING CANDLES OF THE CAFE. THROUGH THE YEARS, THIS LANDMARK HAS BEEN THE SOURCE FOR MUCH INSPIRATION, BUT IF YOU ARE STILL READING THIS, YOU MOST SURELY REALIZE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SUCH A PLACE AS A MERRY-GO-ROUND ON THE WEST COAST FIFTY YEARS AGO
