INTRODUCING new artists and photographers

INTRODUCING NEW PHOTOGRAPHERS AND ARTISTS
VIEWERS WILL NOTICE A VARIETY OF NEW PHOTOS AND ART ARE BEING FEATURED ON THE PAGES OF THIS ONLINE PHOTO AND ART JOURNAL... Where did these outstanding photos and terrific works of art originate? It's a long story, really. But without going into a lot of long and drawn out details, let me say that I found a new site where there are thousand of fantastic photos and works of art. Here the name and address:
http://www.flickr.com/
I needed a new location to post my work. I had heard abut the above site from some of my friends. They encouraged me to pack up my portfolios and head on over. "It's one fantastic gallery, a great site for exposure," stated Dave, a long-time friend whom I met on another gallery site. "You won't be sorry," he told me."You will meet some great people, photographers, artists, people who are really into the arts, people who are into autos, people with interests in all aspects of life." So, it was due to Dave's advice that I joined with the group. Here's my new address:
http://www.flicker.com/photos/huffstutterrobertl/

LIFE IS A BEACH

photograph and text by R.L. Huffstutter

LIFE IS A BEACH is another bumper sticker type of philosophy that's positive and upbeat. There has been some confusion over who first made that bright and cheerful statement. According to a small sampling of the American public in both the beach areas of the West Coast and the farm belt of the Heart of America, there was a definite and authoritive consensus that the phrase originated in the late early 1960 after readers became aware of Earl R. Stonebridge's short novel, Is Life a Beach or What?
