And in a relatively short time too!<br /><br />GArceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-66304799613842186472011-11-10T20:45:04.079-05:002011-11-10T20:45:04.079-05:00Hi Nan!

But spiritual teachers have always equated sexual energy and spiritual energy as expressions of the same energy, so it probably goes together. Both are in their way a desire for union and intimacy with the Other.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-6437718279198330902011-11-10T20:43:10.564-05:002011-11-10T20:43:10.564-05:00Hi Lisabet!

I don;t what he would think of me. Probably be horrified.<br /><br />I know that photo technology is so much better now, just as MS Word is better than using a mechanical typewriter, but there was a technological intimacy in using physical film and sour smelling chemicals and painting in darkness and light that no one gets to experience anymore.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-89230914661356950802011-11-10T20:40:29.480-05:002011-11-10T20:40:29.480-05:00Thanks Kathleen!Thanks Kathleen!Garceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-17938258600858489982011-11-10T20:40:12.714-05:002011-11-10T20:40:12.714-05:00Hi Jindermuth

I suppose a lot of the countryside has changed since then. We were lucky to have a chance to visit it when it was so exotic.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-48606146638828132432011-11-10T12:32:45.840-05:002011-11-10T12:32:45.840-05:00Great travelogue and photo album, Garce.

Who knew?<br /><br />I'm also really impressed by your knowledge about photography, and your ability to adapt to the circumstances. I remember developing a few rolls of B&W film. It was really tough!Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-68545684044063150032011-11-09T09:31:29.889-05:002011-11-09T09:31:29.889-05:00Garce - really beautiful photography and story.Garce - really beautiful photography and story.Kathleen Bradeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347913255760493335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-57446110025660236732011-11-09T08:37:48.338-05:002011-11-09T08:37:48.338-05:00Interesting, Chris.

Though strides had been made in the cities, it doesn't look like much had changed in rural areas.jrlindermuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204855909246670628noreply@blogger.com
