“Most of the good things in pictures happen by accident.”
—John Ford
I was just saying to someone the other day that my most memorable photographs – a few were competently accidental.
I wonder if that is just me.
A couple of them are here.
(If you don’t want to scroll though the whole thing it is the Monk in the Greek monastery and the construction site in Trier)

As usual, great collection. However, my reaction to Blue, Blue, Blue is Blah, Blah, Blah. My reaction to your grandson Pinchas Tzvi, my grand nephew, is heartwarming, especially as this week’s Torah reading across the world was Pinchas. I wish your grandchildren and mine, second cousins, could get acquainted, but they live far apart.
Around the world, it was Parshas Balak. In EY, Pinchas.
I enjoy Robert’s paintings and would have never described them as “Blah”, but to each their own….
Even if one does not enjoy the painting, to refer to it as “blah” is plain rude.
I thought Howards Hawks wrote his scripts as they went along shooting.
“The Big Sleep” never made any sense after they took the pornography out.
“To Have and Have Not” was not much better on story. I think Bogart beat him out for Betty Bacall.
I love both of them.
The car,
The watch.

The photo of Paris shows the beauty of Notre Dame — which is sad given recent events.
Fabulous, Robert. Just fabulous.
