hate IV's (don't like needles)

My 2nd infusion today at the Infusion Center. A little anxious once again, so this time I brought a larger book - one with accompanying photographs. Turned out to be the right choice. A personalized signed copy, and a gift from the Hiss family. This particular work, Bali, inspired me as a young teen, to a life as a life-long photographer.

Bali, Philip Hanson Hiss (published 1941). A year spent of island living and field study of Balinese culture. Eighty black & white photo illustrations with numerous tribal, 'ethnographic' notes. 

"The degree to which a people are adjusted to their environment is the true measure of their happiness." Philip Hiss, Bali. 1941

A mountaineer, Bali

"A complete record of life on the island ... all the more valuable in view of the encroachment of European civilization ... a freshness and a convincing quality rare in the photographic art".  Everett V. Meeks, Dean of the Yale School of Fine Arts.

High Priest, Bali
