just you right now...well not really but you know what I mean. Oy! I get all tied-tongued sometimes

I'd make sure I talked with God. You gotta be ready to meet Him.
I'd spend time with my kids - hugs and all.
I'd call a few friends and family members to make sure they knew how much I care for them.
I'd probably skate for a bit. (skateboard)
Then I'd see if I could top 200mph on a motorbike.
Obviously I've left something out but how much can you think about when you already know it's your last day on earth?

How about if someone pulls you behind the motorbike doing 200mph while you ride the skateboard?
LOL
I think you'd smoke the bearings before you got past100mph.

So what toys, dolls/action figures, games, etc do you remember having and enjoying?

Because we grew up during an interesting time: Were you allowed to play with toys of the other sex?

And did you/do you like stuffed animals? Any specific type?

GI Joe, electric football, Baseball stuff, bike, skateboard

Only if GI Joe & Barbie were gettin' busy

I had a "talking" Porky Pig when I was 3-4. We lived in the
Hollywood Hills off Sunset and the house was on stilts
(I lived with my Grandfather who built the tract there)
I threw Porky off the balcony and I never saw him again.
My most memorable lost stuffed toy.

As an adult I don't have stuff like that but I don't dislike them
for any reason.

What's your favorite restaurant?


What's your favorite dessert?


Food is important to us 40s!!

I don't have a favorite restaurant..... I love Mexican food. So as long as the food is good, I'm there. I do like La Salsa though.

I love sweets. Ice cream, cheese cake. But I try to limit them or I'd consider them a food group by themselves. I find a small bit of chocolate each day keeps me happy.

one of my favorite mediums - especially black and white. We have some beautiful photos by Ansel Adams - what an eye he had! Today too many people think that they have to doctor their photos up with a computer rather than just enjoying the texture, light and color that is already there.

He did have a great eye but he was also talented in the darkroom and manipulated his photos just as people do now with digital mediums.

- that's really disappointing to learn.

Perhaps it's a bit different than you had imagined but just as any other artist does to reveal their vision photographers utilize many tools. Those tools may be a certain type of film or a filter or a light modifying device. Film as in Adams' time can only "see" a certain number of shades or differences between highlights and shadows. The photographer sees with their eyes and mind but use technical skills and tools to bring what they see in their minds to paper, print etc. It's not about trickery or gimics but photography melds science and art with a personal vision.
