"For countless people around the world, including 

photography buffs who really ought to know better,

 Smith’s Guardia Civil photograph is 

the Spanish Village essay."

There's a Fly on This Watch

Have no fear of perfection. 

You'll never reach it.

Editor's Note -- 

Happy Last Blog Post of 2013!

Flippantly Festive!

Editor's note -- Here is the lovely Carmen dell'Orefice at 15 years old as photographed by Erwin Blumenfeld. She was one of his favorite models.

Unlike Flipped Again, this blog is not critical of artistic license and certainly not that taken by Erwin Blumenfeld! 

Merry Christmas to all! 

Especially Cara H, Pansi Barbee, Tempest Nightingale LeTrope, Koni Ramm, Faycin A Croud and Rose LeMort! 

Marvelous Marge

Editor's note -- "Here is Marge Simpson as Carmen dell'Orefice jumping over a puddle in the street with an umbrella, by Richard Avedon, 1957."

At 82, Carmen dell'Orefice is known in the fashion industry as the world's oldest working model.

FLIPPANTLY FLORIDA reminds Flipped Again that this blog is older than your blog!!!

Freedom from Rockwell

Editor's note -- Here is the example of parody and satire of Norman Rockwell's iconic Freedom From Want. See Rockwell Idealism at FLIPPED AGAIN for an example of the original. 

The Simpsons is a satirical parody of a middle class American lifestyle epitomized by Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Double, double toil and trouble

Editor's note -- These somewhat annoyed costumed dogs on Walkway Over the Hudson are ready to go trick-or-treating tonight, presumably on the Ulster County side of the river. 

Eye of newt and toe of frog, 
Wool of bat and tongue of dog, 

Adder's fork and bling-worms sting, 
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing! 

Fall Foliage

The Editor is Driving to Cambridge, MA tomorrow later this morning with no Fall Foliage report today (which is Thursday).

In the meanwhile please remember Fall Foliage is a BIG DEAL in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. 

Editor's note: Post update to follow. Please check back.

UPDATE: Maple (?) tree as seen from the Ulster County side of the Walkway Over the Hudson on Monday, October 28th.
