For Gary

Rock on with your bad ass Hawkeye; your good eye, natural; your editing, superior; your highland sensibility; your houses, old and faltering; your self, though so unnerving; and your art, that's so breathtaking; and with everything you've got.

No monkey with a camera ever had it so good; no camera with a monkey ever had it so bad.

    My wife, Brenda, has an olf Birdseye...I'm sure a Hawkeye must have a better lens since it's a predator.

    The year of the monkey....it changes every 12 years and '56-57 was a year of the monkey. About the right age for theses wonderful little cameras. They can produce tremendous images too.
