As I say, I’m working on the book. The tentative title is Being There; a body of work. A big, coffee table kind of book, and photo-driven, which is the reason for the main title. ‘Being there’ is from a photographer’s saying, which sums up the essence of the art/craft: ‘F-8 and be there.’
Enlarge this and it looks pretty serious, right? Then why don’t the PTB alarmists use it in their catastrophic prognostications?
So true. The essence of photography is how you live your life.
The ‘a body of work’ part of the title means you cannot judge a photog by one or two or a dozen images; you have to see many more, but only the ones he/she chooses to display. This last part is important and rarely mentioned by the pundits.

‘Climate change’ seems to be in the news again, how severe it is and so forth. We all know, I assume, that this is a crock of shit. I’ve gone over this before but I want to remind you how easy it is to debunk the crapola, and with the government’s own data.
Here’s why they don’t use the actual data. Click on Montauk, NY — my old home and about the average worldwide — and you find that in ONE HUNDRED years, and with 95% confidence, sea level will rise a tad over one foot. Twelve inches. Somewhat less than what the New York Times tells you, isn’t it?
What’s the immediate and most catastrophic measure of this supposed phenom? Right. Sea level rise. What’s amazing to me is that the supposed climate change debunkers — the folks who are the ‘voices of reason’ in the face of the alarmists — never bring up what I am going to show you. (Yes, I am repeating myself but it’s been a while.)
NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association has sea level measuring stations all over the world, which have been in operation for many years, many decades, some over a hundred years. The results are right there online for all to see. Just search for ‘NOAA Sea Level Trends’ and you will be enlightened on the essence of ‘Climate Change.’
A few years ago I actually crunched the numbers, i.e., averaged all the stations worldwide, and found that Montauk is very close to the number I got; it’s about average for the planet’s projected sea level change in the next 100 years. Look at the government’s own image; a little over a foot.
It’s truly amazing since sea level ‘rise’ is the most touted ‘proof’ that we are headed for catastrophe. A transparent lie, as anyone will see if they just look at the actual data.
Why haven’t you heard this elsewhere?

Before my current bolt, I’d been surfing Montauk for over 50 years; I rode my first wave at Ditch Plains, just west of the Point. I recall from my first summer that there is a rock on the inside that was awash at low water. 50 years later it was still awash. Still is, no doubt, in 2022. Mmmm.
