Photo Essays: Projects I talk about... Projects I never get active on...
I am an "ideas man"
but sadly... I am not a man of action
all the time I come up projects and inventions
seldom do I ever take action on these projects or inventions
correction, I never take action on these projects or inventions
some of these ideas float around my brain for months only to leave and return again
I have written short stories and novels in my head, working and reworking the stories
never writing them down
until these stories drift from my brain to never return again
there are also photo projects that come to my mind
local documentaion that would be easy enough to do
yet, I never do these things
only to be sad that the photo essay can not be done as the world has changed and the photo can no longer be taken
there were ideas of collecting images of favorite dive bars and favorite mom and pop restuarants in Washington, DC
rapidly my favorite places disappear for the next Fresh Fields, GNC, or Starbucks
another photo project that I have never started and will never be done is a photo essay of interesting urinals in and around Washington DC
apparently this idea has been approached by others

I liked your comments,
reality
life and its little realities
the reality.... we are not all destine for great things
we are all capable of great things
but
we are not all destine for great things
nor will most of us ever reach our potential
I will never ride on Air Force One
never will I be a guest at the Playboy Mansion
A&E Biography will never make a documentary based on my life
most certainly I will never make the FORBES LIST
for that matter I do not expect to be on a list for Washingtonian, VH1, or even a Top Ten list of David Letterman's
there is nothing wrong with this
this is just the reality of my life
on a global level I may never be the top 100 at anything
I was 101 at the Shenadoah Mountain 100, not even top 100 on the local level
this does not bother me
as I accept my reality
understanding my faults and dealing with my limitations
knowing I am above average but not great
life is good
I enjoy life
my rankings are more local and more immediate
I do not need to be father of the year in anyone's eyes accept for my wife and my children's
it is not important to connectg with all animals, just my own dogs, but it would be nice for other animals to accept me or at least not growl at me
that is enough for me
my families' lists are the lists that matter to me
I can deal with the happenings in my life being ignored by The Superficial.com, GAWKER.com, or one of those faux news organizations like The Onion or Fox News
most of that fame seems like it is more trouble than it is worth
really... I don't see how anyone, even Paris Hilton, would want to be like Paris Hilton
the reality is that my reality is actually quite desireable
I have a beautiful house and even a beautiful wife
my children are beautiful and my dogs... well... my dogs are uncontrolable beast, but that is another story
at least my dogs are beautiful to me
not having any ambitions has lead me to a life where I have exceeded my ambitions
like a fool I have let the wind dictate my path
lucky for me the wind has blown me where I have landed
I like my life
I like where I am
I would not change my past
as I would not want to risk what I have now
and I would like to paraphrase for my book titled, Karakal, (LOst Horizon-The Return). I would credit you in the acknowledgments.
Rgds,
Kilburn Hall
