Christmas is a season of giving that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, but in this season we sometimes lose focus, it can be overwhelming in the mad rush. I myself dropped out many years ago due to the commercialization of the holiday, it's not that I don't celebrate the birth of Christ, but I just don't get involved in the shopping and all the craziness that seems to start earlier and earlier every year...
A friend of mine, Paul Tibbets is a pilot in the USAF, the other day he posted a message about wishing he could be with his family for Christmas and I got to thinking about all our troops that are far from home serving our country and all the generations that did the very same thing in all the past wars to protect our freedom.
Another friend John DeCillo, a Vietnam Vet asked me if the was something I could do to remind everybody about all our troops away from home and it reminded me of a photo taken of my dad during the Korean War. The photo shows him sitting at a small table in a tent staring at a photo of my mom. The photo was taken at the 58th Ordnance Ammo Compamny's Ammo Dump that supplied the 8th Army, Sihung, Korea, December 1953.

Please at this time of year, take a moment and say a small prayer of thanks for their service and thank God for them and pray for their safety and their safe return to their families and friends.
Merry Christmas!

Art Thief
Working as a gallery attendant in a art museum with priceless works of art, and always having the constant worry of what a art thief looks like, it makes you suspicious. I always worry about people who come into the museum late in the day and people who move quickly and deliberately, like they are on a mission, but maybe the art thief is more casual, passive, less obvious, stealthy, just average, not suspicious. Maybe a art thief isn't what I think at all, maybe they are just a business that goes on DeviantArt looking for artwork to steal and then with DA working as an unknowing accomplice by making a default setting Free Download? Seriously @DeviantArt, why would you do such a thing??? Basically what DeviantArt has done with this default setting is make your artwork free clip art to anyone who wants to take it. Yesterday, I saw some of my artwork on Pinterest with some vintage travel posters, I was kind of flattered, but then, maybe I am that old that my art fits the category, as I
MIA
Sorry to have been MIA. I've been working very hard with my business, Henderson Graphic Design & Illustration http://www.HendersonGDI.com I've also been devoting a lot of time to my other passion, photography and working with the New Kensington Camera Club trying to get a Pennsylvania Historic Marker for Eddie Adams. We've been traveling a lot too, but probably the biggest reason I have been MIA is because of a few rude people, especially this clown from the UK who was not only a racist, but just a twisted little man who got some joy out of urinating on the graves of Irish patriots. I always came to Deviant Art for art, conversation and f
Another Auld Lang Syne
I wrote this a few years ago and it still rings true today...
I learned a long time a go, to try to not burn bridges and to always leave the door open to old friends and lovers. In a lifetime we all make mistakes and there are always more than a few regrets that we tuck away in that hidden spot in our soul that sometimes a sight, a sound, a touch or a taste might allow us to revisit and wonder what if.
New Year is a time to reflect back on mistakes made, loves lost, old friends forgotten. A time to resolve to do better in the coming year. To at least try...
To all my new friends here at DA, my family, my old friends, my colleagues, custome
Explore...
I got another photo picked by Flickr Explore for the 'Agany' photo I took in Pittsburgh! I love these little surprises! I have no idea how or why they pick the photos they do, but it sure is fun as well as an honor to have people outside my little circle of friends and Flickr contacts see and comment on my photos. http://www.flickr.com/photos/yankeedog57/8030477788/in/photostream
Beyond that, my son and I will be working at Eddie Adams Barnstorm this weekend. My son and I were invited by Eddie's widow Alyssa to come up to Jeffersonville, New York to work at Barnstorm. We will be representing the New Kensington Camera Club.
For those of you
