Because Rosh Hashanah begins tonight, then turns into Shabbat, and I do not blog on Jewish holidays, I am publishing Friday Photos early.

None of the obituaries of Stanton I’ve seen mention his role in “Red Dawn.” That seems to be still unmentionable in leftist circles.
Howard Hawks had more in mind for Betty Bacall than “Molding ” her. His wife’s name was “Slim” and he chose that name for her character in “To Have and Have Not.” Then Bogart appeared and he was out maneuvered.
I occasionally blog to a WordPress site and I’ll bet I know what happened. (is there a prize for the winner? 😉 ) You made this before and scheduled it but hit Wed instead of Friday? But then the comment area seems a but kerfuffled.
In any event that Jag McQueen has is most rare – an XK-SS – a road going version of the D-Type. Only 20 or so were made until a fire broke out and severely damaged the factory. (and for the real trivia buffs the race car known as the Lister-Jaguar was, I believe, a 3rd party’s effort to build the D-Type with Jaguar’s tacit approval. Jaguar for awhile was dead in the water.
I think to her friends she was known as Betty until the day she died.
Rick – nice colors and lines – a good photographer sees beauty in things most people just pass by
Friday or not, I always get a thrill seeing one of my photos next to Richard Avedon.
I get a kick out of seeing Rick’s photos of my neck of the woods (Western NY and Ontario, CA).
Rick is a brilliant photographer and I’m proud to say, a cherished friend.
Every time I post one of your photos, my wife, Karen, says: “He is brilliant.”
Have a Happy New Year and a wonderful Sabbath, Robert!
Alright, I know you Jewish guys do things on different days than us Irish (and Assyrians), but isn’t this Wednesday?
That’s what I thought too.
Click on the link provided, Rosh Hashanah, and you will see that the two day celebration of the Jewish Year 5778 is from sunset September 20, 2017 through nightfall September 22, 2017. As Mr. Avrech stated, this turns into Shabbat which, of course, does not end until nightfall on Saturday, 09/03. Thus, three days of observance.
I wish all a blessed New Year and Shabbat.
