Poster:  The Sixties - Altman Photography Exhibit


The Sixties - A Photography Exhibit by your Web Host

EXHIBIT CATALOG





November 16, 2001




It's been a long, long time since I've submitted an entry into "My Week." A lot has happened to the world and to all of us in these last few weeks.

I might mention that I'm a New Yorker who emigrated to San Francisco a few decades ago. I happened to be inside the World Trade Center this past August, 2 weeks before the tragedy. A week later I found myself beside the Pentagon building while in Washington D.C. All true. I know all of us have stories to tell. My life was deeply impacted and I know yours was too.

What I'd like to now share is news of a 70 piece exhibit of my work currently on display at the Hot Springs Convention Center. I like to thank Steve Arrison and his accomplished staff who have been intelligent, sensitive and incredibly supportive in mounting this show. The exhibit is expected to run for several more months.

We'll be there for a reception January 3 at 5 PM.

I've learned.... That simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult.

I've learned.... That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

I've learned.... That it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.

I've learned.... That under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.

I've learned.... That the Lord didn't do it all in one day. What makes me think I can?

I've learned.... That to ignore the facts does not change the facts.

I've learned.... That when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.

I've learned.... That one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.

I've learned.... That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

I've learned.... That I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.

I've learned.... That when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little fist, that you're hooked for life.

I've learned.... That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.

I've learned ... That it is best to give advice in only two circumstances; when it is requested and when it is a life threatening situation.
