Description
The real feature of this shot is the studio camera in the foreground. This is the camera that Dad used primarily in the Studio for portraits.We'll see if my suggestions did any good..... here's the story, Dad bought this camera and the stand that it goes on, used, when he started his business in 1947. He said it was pretty beat up so he painted it with that godawful speckle paint! I asked him if that was cherry underneath, since I knew most cameras of that day were...... It is. Anyway, I suggested that instead of buying up ugly old tables and refinishing them, "Why don't you strip this down and refinish it?" It does still work by the way.
I think he's seriously considering it, now. I told him that I'd be happy to help him move the stand to the garage, where he can work on it. Maybe you'll be seeing how beautiful this old camera can really be....

You know, there have been several "me s" There's the one that was before the Corps, the one directly after my active duty, the one after my first wife, the one early in my marriage to Alice, and the one now. I think the difference is I have a little better control of my emotions now than I did earlier in life. I'm fully capable of being self centered, or envious, or any sundry other unpleasant emotions or traits. I recognize them better now and realize when I don't like myself and change it, or stop it. I've found a great deal of pleasure being able to help some people here on DA. So, now I concentrate on doing that.
It's just me.

sounds like you've had an interesting journey to get where you are now.
I know i'm not the person I was even 5 years ago. I know i'm a good person. pity others aren't willing to take the time to find out what I'm like now.
I've always liked helping people, my problem was that it made me vunerable to abuse, I'm finally get wise as to who I can trust.
Its great that you are so willing to be help us folks here....you've made my life better and I appreciate it heaps!

Kerry, when I try to help someone, here, or elsewhere, I offer, if they cram it down my throat, I take it, and then walk away. There are people who really don't want help. Then there's people who don't need help, they just want to converse with someone, that seems sane to them.
Helping other people does not make one vulnerable to abuse. Abuse can only happen if you facilitate it by staying and taking more of it. It's not an easy thing sometimes to walk away, I recognize that. But those who stay and accept abuse, are not victims of anyone but their own decision to accept more abuse. I know, that may not be pleasant to hear, but you are in control, you are loved, you are a good person. Now, go
