Life time ago. Lake Kineret | Photo Album (http://michaelnetzer.com/rEvolution/content/view/323/109/) Photo Album (http://michaelnetzer.com/rEvolution/content/view/324/109/) Photo Album (http://michaelnetzer.com/rEvolution/content/view/325/109/) Ein Gedi (http://michaelnetzer.com/rEvolution/content/view/229/81/). 6 months ago. Time for change again. For life to move on. Go north old man. Time to write a new book. To walk the talk. Tell stories. Leave memories. Thousands coming to Galilee music festivals. So many, like sands and stars. Power to the music. Time now Yoni also comes north. To Naftali's place. Wants another drawing. Hey Michael! Good to see you here. Still drawing? Can you draw me again? Time to draw. Make portraits and tell stories. So many and to each a drawing. To each a story. One after one after one after one. Again and again and again and again. Drawing by the hundreds. Portraits to the people.

Group is excited about the new look. This place can use a lot of redecorating. You need a sign. Carlsberg designs bury the name. Hard to see. All for it. But how about that other wall first. Maybe a nice beach panorama. Maybe a panorama with a sign above it. Big and bold. Let's do it.

It was brought to my attention by a High School friend (of the best) on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/people/Michael-Netzer/607223613). A spontaneous response to seeing the album photographs in Time for Time. As is evident, photos were not staged for this purpose. But a true impression of spontaneous events they portray. I have belabored and agonized over presenting it. Still do. It will likely raise many eyebrows well above tolerance levels. However, what it suggests is of a nature most intriguing. Striking to a halt. And not by my own doing. Keeping it private seems unfair to the legacy my life's work promotes. Unfair to curious readers. And a wasted opportunity to advance causes implicit in my mission statement. So, at the risk of undue scorn. Or bewilderment from the wonderful. Behold! In the finest tradition which Rich Johnston reports. A first in comics and art histories. The Primordial Fine Art Swipe File.
