Stan Banos – on duckrabbit

Natural writers are few and far between so when I started raving about the words on the blog Reciprocity Failure I was being entirely sincere.

Stan Banos’ blog is so much more intelligent then the pundits who take themselves far too seriously, don’t allow comments (that would be mixing with the riff raff), and whose efforts to say something come out as natural as constipation.

You don’t need to appreciate photography to appreciate Reciprocity Failure. If you love Raymond Carver then you’ll be on hallowed ground.

Anyway I asked Stan to send some photos and I’m pleased to say he has. Unfortunately I can’t reply to him because his email bounces and the last time I tried to put one of his photos up it crashed my website.¬† So this attempt to show his photos will probably end up in blog Armageddon.

All I can is say is its one hell of a way to go …

Bush Bust-¬† from President’s Park in South Dakota, a stone’s throw from Mt. Rushmore. The privately owned “park” has approx 20ft. busts of all the presidents.

Meth-  somewhere in southern Montana.

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier-  Washington, DC.

United We Stand…¬† sticker on light pole in front of house in San Francisco.


Better To Die…¬† hand drawn sign on light pole in San Francisco.
