About This Website

This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

>>>> Comments, commentary and lively discussions, re: my writings or any topic germane to the medium and its apparatus, are vigorously encouraged.

Forever Wild Development Corporation - the name is a carried-over relic from the '50s. The person(s) who created it either had a wicked sense of humor or no sense of irony. For all I know, it made some kind of sense back in the old days. "Forever wild" is the common title applied to Article XIV of the New York State Constitution (adopted in 1894) which states that “The lands of the state, now owned or hereafter acquired, constituting the forest preserve...shall be forever kept as wild forest lands."

Or maybe it was a definitive sense of vision and forethought. A so called vision of the future.

Hey maybe the developers are just stupid, non creative people who couldn't come up with anything better for their logo. To have that kind of humor or no sense of irony would just be too cruel in my opinion.
