Regarding the new paradigm in publishing

Working with these photos and writing the captions that have had  so long to steep in memories, I've had the realization that the www  has totally and forever changed publishing,  just as Guttenberg did with movable type and latter Germans with rapid machine presses did in their time. 
The fact that there are now more than two billion pages on the web, and unknown millions of users points to the inevitable conclusion that information and artistic copyright is a concept whose time has come and gone! 

That said..... I realize that these photos should be out there for the whole  www to enjoy. They have been sitting in the file cabinet slowly becoming "Vintage" (whatever that is) and represent a time that is fading fast as the Nike swoosh, running shoes and advertising tee shirts envelope the world.

The latest iteration has been sepiatoned in Photoshop and the images are larger and sharper that ver1.0
