LOOK

if sending a picture through this series of wires and pipes makes you feel threatened by "big brother"

send an old time one- you know eastman-kodak thru the u.s. mail

(i've lost my younger readers-

once upon a time we had a machine with a shutter that controlled time & light.
you could aim it at someone and take their picture. ((after paying someone to develop it))

((you know- eastman-kodak))

you could expect the government to deliver it for 14 cents.

people whom became good at it were called "shutterbugs""

{we are all bugs in amber (kurt vonnegut)



PS: i believed until i was aboot 13 that the only way the machine worked properly
was to point it at your subjects and say " say provolone"

my mom always laughed

yet, in her pictures

all the heads were cut off...
