doubt

Somehow, it would be hard to believe it is as much fun for you all reading this,as it is for me remembering as I’m rocking in this chair. If someone had told me I would be doing this, I would have been amused. Actually,Dan,my “Casual Hero”, told me back in “94″ to do it! I put up a web site and did nothing with it for 15 years. He had told me that I would need to add content, that I should write text. He had been a web provider from the start, pretty much understanding the nature of the beast. I told him that I made photographs, I don’t write! You know, he said OK, and my “STUFF” has sat on the web collecting dust, for fifteen years. I never got a computer and only got this blackberry three months ago. Dan and I had been out of touch for quite some time. I would check my site from time to time,and you know it was there,the same,nothing changed. Over Christmas this year I thought maybe it was time to “geek it” a little. I tried to send an e-mail to Dan using my old cell phone. From everything I saw, I failed. I have a hard time with these gadgets, and I just moved on to a task where I was more likely to succeed. Well,about 3 months later, I was fooling around with that old phone, and found a reply to the e-mail. Thank god there was a phone number. Right away I called. I think he was surprised hearing that I understood what he had told me 15 years before. I think he had heard somewhere that it had taken 18 years for me to hear what I was being told about the zone system,(shadows in zone 4) and he was waiting me out. I have no idea what is causing me to write all this. An american author from the beat generation lived in this neighborhood by Melrose and Western. Who knows, maybe its the vibe. I am going out to look for tower cranes today, which Actually is tomorrow, as what you are reading, was written yesterday. Thought I’d like to get this off my mind and just focus on getting work. The job situation out here has been pretty ugly, I guess the same everywhere. In my Business, if I spot a crane, there’s a good chance I’ll find work. Word is, there might be some money out there to get some of these big jobs going. I had a good run working on the W-Hotel Hollywood. The boss man on that job was as sharp as any man I’ve worked for. That job “rolled like a freight train”. Some photographs of that job are on my site. Thought I’d leave you with two rules I have followed. #1. When your lost, keep making left turns. I remember my friend, Craig Stull also had told me as we were young, was that my problem was that I didn’t look down enough. Well I thought he was telling me that I needed to be more humble. He said that too, maybe, but what I mean is that you can find money! #2 don’t follow horse trails
