” It won’t help if the sunshine should start
“Cause it’s raining in my heart”

Stonehenge, England. This photograph was made by Paul Goldfinger in 1990. He, himself, has been carbon dated, but the results haven’t been made public. Click image for full view.
Stonehenge has been carbon dated back to 2,000-3,000 B.C. Human remains that old at the site suggest a burial ground. Today the Druids still worship there, and some of them even look Druish.
This photograph was accomplished with Kodachrome color slide film and still retains its quality over twenty years later. No wonder Paul Simon wrote a song about it. (see below) — Paul Goldfinger

Summer tents. Ocean Grove, NJ. By Paul Goldfinger © 2013 Ocean Grove
These tents are the most photographed of any structures in town. They captivate visitors who love to hear the story of the tents. They are amazed that the tents are still in use and that you have to wait for years to rent one.
Photographing them is a challenge if you want something unique other than the tired snapshots that people acquire with their phones. Nevertheless, those photos are the ones that get disseminated all over the world. They are patriotic images because so many tenters fly the American flag.

SOUNDTRACK: It is difficult to try to find music to compliment this photograph of a beautiful and expressive child. What words would convey the right description of the moment? In the end, I thought of how her parents and family must think about her.
So I chose the lovely song “You’re My Everything” by Harry Warren (1931,) but I wanted it performed by a jazz musician with the words aside, because a jazz performance allows us to give the music its own meaning if we want to.
Yet the poetic words of this song do fit the theme and the music. It’s your option as to how to experience this song:
“You’re my everything underneath the sun
You’re my everything rolled up into one
You’re my only dream, my only real reality
You’re my idea of a perfect personality.”
“ You’re my everything, everything I need,
You’re the song I sing and the book I read.
You’re a way beyond belief and just to make it brief .
You’re my winter, summer, spring, my everything .”
Here’s The Miles Davis Quintet from the “‘Round Midnight” album. Miles solos on trumpet (or is it flugelhorn?)
