Since I first began reading about the places where artists went to paint, and then when I began reading about places where soldiers went to make headquarters in world wars, I have found Rabaul to be most interesting geographical subject matter.

A photo from Mums boyfriend
"Norman Berwick" taken during the war
with the japanese in the pacific.
"Myself and members of my crew, taken while on a cross country hike.
12.10.41 Rabaul"
Norman is second from the right.
I've left the images a bit rough because
they look more like actual photos rather
than the harshness of crystal clear
digital photos.
I'm not against digital at all, but if it's
old, that's fine... why should it be cleaned up?

About Me
- HUFFSTUTTER'S PHOTO ESSAYS
- My dad's dad, my grandfather, was nine years old when President Lincoln died from an assassin's bullet. Most people think I am speaking of my GREAT GRANDFATHER. NO, I am referring to my dad's father, my paternal Grandfather, Robert Levi Huffstutter, born in 1856. What does this information have to do with my profile? It might help the reader understand that I have a sense of being much older than I am in that only one generation seperates me from President Lincoln. This causes me to respond differently to society and many current events. In many respects, this is to my benefit, in other respects it dates my mindset. Perhaps this is the reason I value the moral standards and idealogies of older Americans, the men who were the soldiers and sailors I saw when I was a small boy,the men and women who fought a war for freedom without any doubts posted by a media with a questionable lack of national unity and purpose.
