Thin Crust Tavern CutI fish. A lot. (St. Croix rods) I photograph. A lot (Nikon). Grew up on the Northwest side of Chicago. Chicago Cubs and Blackhawks fan. University of Oregon alum. Retired architect. Occasionally successful keeping this timeline low on politics.

Thin Crust Tavern CutThis is Mrs. Arcus ca 1972 using my first "good" camera, a Pentax Spotmatic II. (I still have it.).
This is professional scan of a slide, perhaps from Extachrome. 50 mm kit lens. No idea of the camera settings.
Today is our 55th wedding anniversary.

Thin Crust Tavern CutI've noticed at a certain age things begin to float to the surface. If you beat yourself up when you were younger, those old wounds start to throb at odd times, and you may now and then, find yourself thinking and speaking in can only be your ancestral voice, because it sure as hell isn't you, but it still had to come from somewhere.

Thin Crust Tavern CutYou know how other fishermen sometimes casually drift over in your direction when they see you are catching fish? They do that when you are catching carp, too, but when they see what you are into they just drift away again. I wish I could make them do that with trout.
