Dear People.  
Perspective:
Of course  all lives matter, which is sadly, historically, irrelevant  because
BLACK LIVES DO NOT MATTER IN OUR WORLD.
Ergo "BLACK LIVES MATTER"  because they haven't  and they don't.
Tragically, sadly, practically, street-wise - white lives matter.
Effective clue: I am not profiled + + + + +
Myths-Structures of class - white 'race' superiority - economics have plagued the world for centuries.
THE DEHUMANIZATION OF THE OTHER.
Nasty murderous shit flows-on...
Intentionally or Not and promulgated by media-individuals-groups-church-state-tech-capitalism-art-'history'  + + +
And by the  beside-the-point: ALL LIVES MATTER.
THEY DON'T.
ALL LIVES MATTER lacks perspective-confuses folks-Disrespects The Black Experience +++ and rationalizes more evil acts.
Effective clue:
Can you stand in front of any black person and tell her that all lives matter.
When all lives are actually equal - perhaps all lives will actually matter.
Os,  Bill

Debts - ancient through to contemporary Debts.

Debts - Always Paid By Some Of Us - The 99%.

For most people on our planet  living day to day,  on very little to nothing - This is reality.
I was born in 1938,  to white privilege, in California, on the very edge of reality.
Luckily for me  my mother evolved = humanist commonist socialist egalitarian.
Black Lives Mattered in our house.
Money was only a means to do good, we had enough.
But  did-we, could-we, can-we  really comprehend our privilege and entitlement.
Today  classist-racist-global-neoliberal-capitalism is forcing realities on most of us.
Will we evolve.

Funny fun for me Dan (stuff related to sales) but  I'm no under-covers  buried-jewels guy
The offering of my pictures for sale  has always been out-there  announced   very-public 
Since 1970 Reese-Palley  John-Bill-MoMA  Fraenkel  Fischer  website  flickr  fb  bla bla  museums  shows
Me   some   family n friends  might just be way off on the my-picture-poignancy thing     
I can't accept sales to humans as judgement
Should I pray for a more definitive smoke-signal  
No-daily-bling    So what  
Thanks for your support time vision energy intelligence efforts+++

Ahaaaa  it's been a year since I did my bad
For the record of mini-fiascos with bright-lining:
In May 2015 I dumbassedly pushed the wrong button
And disappeared all my picture files from Lightroom 5
I believed I was just tidyingup   emptyingout doodoo
I began salvage-adventure  after anguish
Found stuff in my Mac & hard-drive
Went to Wai and his indy M.A.C. Berkeley team   
Came home with 3,751 files  - in various states
XsOs! (as usual)
Half were 'real'  usable files  and half were 'facades'
I only realize which pictures I lost when they show up in some other context
After 7 months of editing and tweaking   over n over ...
I uploaded 900+ pictures to Flickr
And Nick & I redid my website pictures
I am so lucky   I was forced to edit  over n over n over ...
Thank The Spirits  
Os  Bill

Hello Michael
Thank you for thinking of me  via Dan 
Folks who truck n grind are planet-everywhere    mostly  out-there   we don't see stuff
You and your partners truck n share 
Grateful those who find you   and find you going ?-beyond  the-off-white-ol'-boy-networks
My fucking grandfather  was classics prof skull n bones yalester  17 fam stones in their graveyard
My mom was vassar '35 pinko    stunted Doctor = family yale MD, "No Edith." Woman diss-encouraged
I unlearned  and deconstructed  with her help
Dear Michael   
I cross folks' minds because I mailed my pictures to John   as to 100s of others  
He told me to KEEP ON TRUCKIN'...  in '71  2  +  
I then learned 'who/what he was'  my UCBerkeley art friend  Bill Burback  was his intern 
John made grants possible    I did my evolving-me thing    
He probably wondered what he had enabled
I'm good being outside    I do internet sharing out here n there
​TREASURE  my gallery with Flickr​
My daily w/Flickr
My daily w/ Fb
​Pictures daily at  Twit  Tumbl  Pin​   
Not knowing what it all means ...   
It does not mean $
& that's enuff me
​Best Wishes Michael   Go find ​people    Pleasure and Fun for many   
Respectfully   Os  Bill

Facebook exchange:
me: I don't know what I will do yet...Sanders to wherever-whatever?   clinton-trump? 
We have the only person in our history to big-stage-challenge for a Civilized usa
With no indication we'll get other than more past-decades toadie-capitalist shit-culture
We will be told lots what-to-do
JT: I will be voting with a clean conscience for the utterly corrupt neoliberal shyster.
me: from the german = "shitter" 
JT: So  a little like eating a Ballpark frank.  Just put on some extra mustard 
     and try not to think about what's in there.
