Sliding doors
THIS LOOKS LIKE IT'S READY TO MOVE INTO, ESPECIALLY FOR ONE WHO'S TIRED OF BEING A ROLLING STONE. THERE IS AN OLD ADAGE ABOUT "...A ROLLING STONE GATHERS NO MOSS." REST ASSURED THIS WILL NOT GATHER MUCH MORE MOSS UNLESS IT'S ON THE TUNDRA WITH REINDEER AROUND. AND I SUPPOSE, JUST SUPPOSE, THAT HERE IS YET ANOTHER PIECE OF SCANDANAVIAN SCULPTURE. NO, NOT DANISH MODERN, BUT CERTAINLY SOMETHING LIKE A FINNISH FLING. I LOVE SCANDANAVIA, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY VOLVO WAITED SO DAMNED LONG TO COME UP WITH A 4 WHEEL DRIVE. MAYBE THE PHOTOGRAPHER, THE "Surfin"Bird" can answer this one. Thanks, Bird, keep shooting these masterpieces..............

Martuni's
A KIND OF ESSAY ON YOUR GROUP ICON It was, specifically, those oval windows with the subtle neon signs featuring a martini glass and a bubble or two (think they were portraying champagne rather than a martini, but booze was booze when one is 12) that served as a curious invitation for me to enter as soon as possible. I tried getting into one of those bars in Rock Island, Illinois when I was about 14, but they told me to wait until I could grow real whiskers and wash off the charcoal fake five o' clock shadow and go play babeball.) Not one to accept defeat, I washed off the charcoal and put on sunglasses and went across the street where I was served a beer and then told to "learn to drink wisely." People were different in the 50s, right? Okay, your idea of the martini glass as a requisite for entering photos should serve as a magnet for some really great shots. You already have one FINE COLLECTION. Congratulations. Now going to search for one of my photos from the past 50 years to find my ticket to enter. Great group. Robert L. Huffstutter

JAPAN 1961
I took this in 1961 with a Petri 35 MM. According to the security present, Hirohito was somewhere on the grounds and it was my wish to catch a snapshot of him studying a flower or some blooming thing. It did not happen and the rest of the afternoon was spent wandering aroung the grounds. Although the security was lax, the guards were not thrilled that I was getting a bit too close to the Emperor's private garden. If only I had brought along a zoom lens, I would have captured some better photos. Someone with me pointed at a window and said, "there's his wife." I was too late to catch a glimpse of the Emperor's wife. Please check out my blog, BLOGABOUTJAPAN, for more vintage photos.
