Feeling a little Squirrely at the moment, so a shot of Squirrel will do.
Not going to say much here. Started with BW photography many years back (Petri 35mm range-finder). Read a magazine article that said: Shoot! Film is cheap! Took that to heart. With digital photography one can recyle the film ad nauseum.
Interests vary greatly. Generally attracted to large, noisy machinery. Especially older stuff. Very fond of travel shots; particularly new aspects of familiar places and things.
PW is usually done with Corel 9 DCE. Seems to have the power of much more expensive software suites at a fraction of the price.

so many things I could add to this commentary but I'll be nice. Great point made

Oh darn! I was looking forward to them. It's a nice picture but it does tell a one-sided story. All those natives had no idea they were living in Pennsylvania! I recall walking into San Carlos Basilica with a friend and she saw the big painting of the Spaniards landing from a small boat with flags waving, cross forward, and bright fimbriated sky... comment: I bet. Very succinct and accurate. However, the image/narrative was accurate (propaganda) from the side of the Spaniards, so it is a valid image.

Outstanding Work,

Interesting recording of the event. I often wonder who drew up the documents and if they were the result of negotiation with the Indians. Of course, they had to get something in exchange - cloth, metal implements, etc...The painting was then for viewers to see a historical moment with explanatory text on the paper. Nice photo of this painting. Gives an idea of what the artist wants us to remember. :-)

I'm sure some trading took place. I'd just like to know how the natives felt about some guy across the ocean giving this rights to newcomers without consulting the chief first. I suppose the natives got what they wanted. I recall reading a book about the US war against some of the tribes/nations in Ohio around 1790 and learning that the Indians often lived in proper European-style houses complete with dishes, etc. Settled down with a vengeance it seems. I wonder what the "wild west" would have been like had both groups actually got on much better.
