Do you recognize the name Alfred Eisenstaedt? Believe it or not, if you were born pre-2000, the name might not ring a bell, but you *DO* know him – that is, you know his work.

Eisenstaedt was one of the greatest U.S. photojournalists ever. His photos graced the cover of Life Magazine 86 times. They include one of the most famous photos ever taken: the iconic photo of a sailor kissing a nurse in New Yok’s Times Square at the end of WWII.

Alfred Eisenstaedt was born today, December 6, 1898 at Dirschau, Prussia. He died on August 23, 1995, at Martha’s Vineyard, MA.

Does someone know something I do not?

Does someone have some inside information?

I wonder because, once again today the mail brought "great deals on funeral and cremations services."

Really!!

I know I told the National Association of Funeral Directors about my book, "Nothing Special - Just A Life." If they, and anyone else for that matter, read the book - which everyone should, It Is A Fun And Thoughtful Read, they would know I am planning on living to 135. I am not even halfway there!!!

Sheese ..... I do my best to keep all informed, but if you know anyone in the "death" business, tell them to leave me alone. I have a lot of years left before I will need their services. I still have to finish the next two books.

For the record, and just so you know and can spread the word, the second book is scheduled for September 2020. It's title: "Life Goes On -- Wait, Wait, I for got to tell you. There Is More To The Story."

Nothing Special - Just A Life is a great read. Find it on Amazon, B&N, and other online sources.

Photos from USA State Capitols I visited over the last few years. I have photographed 40 of 50.

Many of the buildings look the same, but the feel feel inside of them is unique. It is fun to see what each state celebrates and puts on display. All states have things to celebrate, and the fun of visiting the capitol buildings is to see just what each state is most proud of, and what part of their history makes the various displays.

Check back from time to time. I will share some of those displays, and part of the history of the states that make their citizens most proud.
