This time of year (Thanksgiving here in the U.S.A.) we are always asked to reflect upon things we are thankful for. First and foremost I have to say family and friends and this includes people like you if you are reading this. We may only be friends on the internet, but you all are important to me. Your praise, comments and insight of my work means so much to me and inspires me to do more. I also appreciate you sharing your work and your thoughts, I am very grateful. Think about what a wondrous thing this... Yesterday after posting some photos, I got 
's from Belgium, Canada, Egypt, Pakistan, Portugal and Spain! How cool is that? Think about how ominous it is to shoot a photo here in Pittsburgh on my way to lunch, come back to work, post them and have people halfway around the world see it and appreciate it, wow! THANKS!
With that being said, I want to thank God for the talent to be creative both as an artist and a amateur photographer, it allows me to have so much fun in life and to meet so many cool and talented people!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I'm thankful for all of you!

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

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Don.
