Selling Castle Haarzuilens

Castle Haarzuilens shot with Fujifilm xe-1 14mm
Somewhere in Haarzuilens

Dear Ms Real Estate Person,

I trust that you are in good disposition.   You will recall my previous request for you to look into selling my castle in Haarzuilens.  I am hoping that you have made significant progress to my request as  a lot of things have happened.  Not only has the tax people been threatening to sequester my assets, I am now being pursued by the Dutch court for allegations concerning illicit use of recreational medicinal in my own humble abode.  Nonsense.  The concept that recreational medicinal is illegal is oxymoronic.  Besides I have stopped doing illicit drugs since our last North American tour.  I now confine my habit to Jack Daniels, which I believe is still legal.  By the way, the moat in the castle has been fixed so you don't have to worry about  prospective buyers falling into the water.  The water is cold but it won't kill ya.  I remember when Mick was stoned out of his face one time that he thought it would be a great idea to play a small gig with the band on one of the castle's boats.  We all went along with him.  Mick sang Satisfaction, which was the craziest sound I have ever heard since we were playing Brown Sugar instead.  Anyway, Bill got so upset that he finally threw Mick off the boat.  A sorry sight to see - considering Mick was wearing my Armani jacket.  Mick survived but never wanted to visit my castle again.  Oh well, I digress.  Again, I would appreciate if you can expedite the selling of my property.  I'm attaching an updated photo that my friend Juzno recently took.  I'll be driving down south to Luxembourg in the next few days so I hope we can finalize a deal before then.


Very Much Yours,
Keith Richards

No longer the owner of the lonely heart

Street shot with Fuji Xpro1

Dear Editor,

I am writing to you because after some soul searching I have decided to cancel my subscription to Lonely Hearts magazine.  I realized now that I am no longer lonely.  Joe who patiently sits right next to me has ordered two gourmet hot dogs and special diet sodas to go with them.  I have just met him today but I think he is a fantastic guy.  He tells me that he has a big ranch in Oregon, and comes from a family of Dairy Dutch farmers.  It's funny because he doesn't look Dutch.  He assures me that he is, and that his dark skin is due to being out in the sun all the time.  His hands are also soft that I could hardly believe he is a farmer.  Maybe he has a lot of hired labors at his ranch so he doesn't have to lift a finger to manage his business.  Anyways, I got to run.  I see that our food has arrived.  Please send me a partial refund as I will be needing some extra money to pay for our bus fare to Oregon.

Yours Truly,
Eve

Hamilton


A few months ago,  I received an email from Hamilton announcing his retirement. He inquired if I still have the photo I took of him a couple of years ago so he can use it for his signature board. So I dug this up and thought I might share it here. It's really a test shot. At that time I just got my Canon 580ex ii flash and wanted to practice on bouncing the light.
