F-18 Hornet On The Hangar Deck.

Fun Stuff, My Peeps, Fo SHO!

I’ve Got So Many Photos Of So Many Neato Things/People/Places/Etc/Etc That I Sincerely Didn’t Know What I Was Ever Going To Do With Them.

I’m Glad I’m Getting The Chance To Now Show Them Off.

Why Not, Right?!?

RIGHT!!!

😀

The Carrier In San Francisco Bay…

…October 1999.

These Were My Two Favorites From That Day, As I Shot Them From Outside The Bridge Of The Ship.

I Felt They Captured Exactly What I Was Looking To Illustrate.

🙂

Hope Y’all Dig’em!!!

😉

Photos From The Navy Days…

…Here, I Was Practicing My Silhouetting…

…Or Whatever You Wanna Call It.

It’s Been A Decade…

…So I Don’t Remember All My Terms.

My Bad.

😉

And Here, I’m Trying To Do It Again…

…But With A Helluva Lot More Sailors!

😉

I Have So Many Photos To Work With…

…But I Did Enjoy These.

I Really Miss Shooting Photos.

Had A Lot Of Fun With It, Fo SHO!

😀

This Is My Favorite Photo Of The Ship…

…In Pearl Harbor.

I Was Practicing My Framing At The Time It Took This. It Worked Out Rather Well. I Was Pleased, At Least 😉

I’ve Decided To Share Some Of My Original Photography…

…From My NAVY Days.

It Is D-Day, Ya Know.

Figured Why Not.

If I Don’t Show Them To Other People…

…What Was The Point Of Taking Them In The First Place???

So Here Are FOUR (4) Of That I Think You’ll Like.

Or, I’m Hoping You’ll Like.

The Song Stuck In My Head: “PICKIN’ UP THE PIECES” by FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS (2010)

“Felt Like The Stars Fell Down Before Us…

…In A Dream Of You And Me…

…Then Like A Store Came Outta Nowhere…

…Turned My Peace To Misery. …“

… … …

FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS

… … …

“…’Cause I’ve Been Runnin’ Now For Days…

…Pickin’ Up The Pieces Of Love…

…I’m Not So Sure It’ll Go My Way…

…That’s Just The Price Of Love. …“

… … …

“PICKIN’ UP THE PIECES“ Is The Title Song Of The 2010 Album By FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS‘

… … …

“…I Am Oh So Tired Of Loneliness…

…But The World Don’t Change…

…And I Can’t Have You…

…You’ve Gone Away…

…You Are The Reason…

…You Are The Reason I Stay. …“

Howdy, My Peeps.

So…

…Yeah…

…I’ve Been Jammin’ To…

FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS

…For A Couple Months Now…

…And I Sincerely Struggle To Get Their Songs Out Of My Head Following Even A Brief Listening.

Their Music Is Honestly…

…And Sincerely…

…EXCELLENT.

And While Their More Popular Songs Are…

“DON’T GOTTA WORK IT OUT“

…And…

“MONEYGRABBER“

…MY Favorite Tune On The Album…

“PICKIN’ UP THE PIECES“

(2010)

…Is…

…Oh Yeah…

“PICKIN’ UP THE PIECES“

!!! !!! !!!

It’s Simply INFECTIOUS.

.Period.

The First Time I Heard It…

…I Enjoyed It.

The Second Time I Heard It…

…I Enjoyed It More-So.

The Third Time…

…I Was Hooked.

Since Then…

…Well…

…As I Said…

…It Has Become MY FAVORITE Tune On The Whole Album.

I’m Very Unsure How To Express How This Song Makes Me Feel.

I’m Also Very Unsure As To WHY So Many People Have Still Never Ever Never Ever Ever Even Heard About The Band…

FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS

??? ???
???

I Derive So Much Pleasure Listening To Their Music.

It Makes Me Happy.

It Makes Me Smile.

It Makes Me Wanna Listen To MORE Of Their Music.

That’s The Whole Point, Isn’t It???

To Find A Sound You Like AND Enjoy So Much That It Earns A Special Place In Your Heart…

…And Your MP3PLAYER???

I Would Think So.

I Mean…

…Yeah…

…Their Goal Is To Become Famous And Make Money Off Of Their Tunes…

…But They Also Wanna Make Music That You WANT To Listen To.

In Regard To ME…

…MYSELF…

…They’ve Achieved Whatever It Was They Set-Out To Accomplish.

I Strongly Urge You…

…MY PEEPS…

…To Give This One…

“PICKIN’ UP THE PIECES“

…by…

FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS

…A Good Listening To.

I Don’t Think You’ll Be Disappointed.

The Music Is A Mix Of Yesteryear AND Today…

…With A Quirky Sound All Its Own.

I DIG IT…

…And THAT AIN’T NO JIVE!!!

😉

Try To Enjoy The Rest Of Your Day, Kiddies.

If You Have The Ability To Listen To This Album While You Work…

…The Day Should At Least Have More Of A Shine To It.

As I Said…

…Their Music Is Infectious.

Infectious In A VERY Good Good Way.
