New Deal

I bought this book because I admire the work of Dorothea Lange but the work of the other Farm Security Administration photographers is equally as good.The pictures are timeless and the message as relevant today as it was then.

The book came to mind as I caught up with the budget news today.What a second rate unimaginative budget it was.Luckily the wealth of this country is more down to the hard work and imagination of its people than the mediocre nonsense we have running it.

Was this also the golden age of photography?Do digital images today look just too real or so photoshopped that they are completely unbelievable  and unbelieved?Is there any honesty left in photography?Is photography now just another goth stood on the end of the pier at Whitby?

Still waiting for the replacement part for the tray filler.No electricity all day due to more poles and lines being upgraded.Another concrete path has gone in and repairs have been made to the vents in the top block.No meeting with Roy this afternoon because he has been flooded last night due to the very heavy rain.

Promise to catch up soon.

Great Love Of My Life One of my most favourite songs.
