I didn't know they still had pohtoraphers but it was an honorable profession back in the day. :geek:

Well maybe not for some like Irving Klaw :rolleyes:

History looks upon Irving Klaw as a true pioneer who gave us the likes of Betty Page, a modern cultural icon and major style influence who many consider a national treasure.

And he dishonorably willfully destroyed all (or almost all) of the prints and negatives of her in his possession rather than fight a court case accusing him of distributing pornography, which even by the standards of those days he was clearly innocent of as far as Betty was concerned. You don't stop the fight when you are right but he did.

Almost unbelievably she never posed nude or in sexually suggestive poses save for a small number of private photos which had the stipulation attached that they were not to be made public. There are very few images of her to be found now where there once huge numbers. Irving Klaw both made her and destroyed her. Betty Page, like so many others whose star had faded from public favor, was ripped off through most of her life, not receiving the royalties she was legally due and she died nearly penniless, but her estate is now worth $6M and growing. Had Klaw not abandoned her she might have at least had a better life while she was here. And we'd have tons more pics.

Can't say I'm surprised Phil as only you would turn a nonsensical, goofy thread like this into one of your holier than thou morality plays. (n)

And Irving Klaw wasn't even a pohtorapher! :smuggrin:

This thread is getting such a good run over nothing. Reminds me of a Seinfeld episode. Can't wait fo the OP to follow up on something.
 
Many people enjoy the taste of pohtor despite its appearance and smell. For some it is a philosophy of life bordering on a religion. :playful:
 
People can and will praise / practice the most weird things, it is one of those things that most often give color to life,,,,,, and then there is the horrific incidences.
I am no longer able to go to my "quiet place" in my mind, so now shooting is one of a few things left that truly make me relax

If I didn't know you better kamkar, I'd have to say that your post sounds like something a crazy person contemplating a mass shooting event might say. :eek: :smuggrin:

Anyway, I enjoy target shooting and also hunting and find it relaxing too. This thread even has me thinking about going out to do some pohtor hunting this weekend. ;)

...pohtor looks like a cross between a buzzard, a rat and a very large lizard. They are rarely seen in the wild. :pigeon:

What's your preferred method of cooking? Sounds like marinating in copious amounts of a good bourbon might be appropriate for a number of reasons. ;) :joyful:

In the past 15 years or so, on new years evening we had nothing but grill, even if my friend have had to stand out in rain and snow to cook for us.
Currently i am working my way thru a bottle of Culleys #10 hot sauce,,,,,,, that is indeed some hot stuff you want to go easy with or face the consequences.

Apparently the chilies my friend grow, well some times none of us can eat a whole one, so we are comfortable with the strong ones, even if what he grow are not supposed to be super strong, but some are.

That's when you need the services of a professional pohtorapher. The process of dressing them and preparing them for cooking is just too harrowing for most people, what with the smell and the awful appearance. But yes, after that marinating them for up to a week is usually required with your preferred marinade, alcohol and spice mix. Bourbon is good, not only for the marinade but also for drinking copious amounts of just before the meal. Personally, I just like to throw some pohtor steaks on the barbecue. Old school! :happy:
