I am sending this message out to Baltimore area university students. If you could print out a copy and put it up on some bulletin boards around campus, pass it around, or email it to friends, I would surely be grateful. And some other students most definitely might get a kick out of it.

Here is the message:

My Baltimore Based Photography Portfolio, plus My Maine and US Army Experience Biographical Stories

This week, I put the bulk of my current photography portfolio on myspace. I have mostly Baltimore area photographs on there. There is also an album from Patten, Maine way back in the olden days of 1969, when I was a bear hunting guide and country girl's delight. In 1970-71, I was a US Army photographer on Okinawa—an undeniably insane experience—and there’s a small selection of my photographic work from back then on there. You will see some nice year 2000—2007 photographs. Including some really good Fells Point shots, with the absolutely most astounding Fell’s Halloween pics you will EVER see. Some of the photographs in the portfolio are of today’s Dundalk. Dundalk? A severely misunderstood suburb of Baltimore. Those photos effectively dispel many of those rude myths you may have heard. I have some of the finest photos on myspace that you will ever level y'ur keen, young eyesight upon. I believe that there is something in my portfolio for every single viewer to enjoy seeing.

There are no photos for sale. This is not a sales pitch.

I also have some wild and crazy stories written out about my Northern Maine Adventures, and also some stories about those insane times of mine in the United States Army. There are links to all of my published works in my myspace blog posts. I am published on several Internet sites all across the great State of Maine. And, including myspace, I have nine friggin’ big fat blogs all built up nice and neat and ready for your viewing pleasure, including the best damned dumpster diving blog in the known universe.

Ain’t no doubt about it, my works are full of all kinds of surprises.

One aspect of my work which you may be able to relate to is that the Maine and the Army photos and stories clearly define what my life and also the lives of many others of my generation were like when we were about the same age as you are today. Those works posses interesting, entertaining, and wildly informative historical insights, the likes of which you have never known before—I will guarantee you that.

I am no more than an older, disabled veteran with limited resources, surviving on a limited VA disability pension, trying to reach and entertain as diverse an audience for my photography and writings as I possibly can. It sure as hell beats just sittin’ here at home rotting away.

I hope to hear from you in comments to my blogs.

I know you are usually busy, so I will sincerely appreciate any time that you spend towards perusing my work.

Thank you.
