The slideshows are collections of my art and photos posted on my Flickr photostream. If you click beneath the image, you will find arrows to advance, stop or return. Thanks for stopping by. If you would answer the question about this being your first visit, I will be able to get an idea of how many viewers, if any, I might have. Better yet, follow my blog. Thanks, Rob
Although most of the photographs in this online journal about some of my fondest memories are my photos, photos that I have taken throughout the past 60 years, there are some photos BY GUEST PHOTOGRAPHERS who have permitted me to exhibit their photos for one reason or another. My sincere gratitude to these PHOTOGRAPHERS for their kindness and help in my quest to record fond memories. All guest photos are linked to the original photographer and their photostreams or websites. Hopefully, viewers will enjoy this online journal. Time flys and if there was one wish I could be granted, it would be to begin another fifty years of photography at age eighteen, an encore performance. Since this is not possible, I enjoy each new day.
My dad's dad, my grandfather, was nine years old when President Lincoln died from an assassin's bullet. Most people think I am speaking of my GREAT GRANDFATHER. NO, I am referring to my dad's father, my paternal Grandfather, Robert Levi Huffstutter, born in 1856. What does this information have to do with my profile? It might help the reader understand that I have a sense of being much older than I am in that only one generation seperates me from President Lincoln. This causes me to respond differently to society and many current events. In many respects, this is to my benefit, in other respects it dates my mindset. Perhaps this is the reason I value the moral standards and idealogies of older Americans, the men who were the soldiers and sailors I saw when I was a small boy,the men and women who fought a war for freedom without any doubts posted by a media with a questionable lack of national unity and purpose.
