11th November 1919
The First Two Minute Silence in London:
The first stroke of eleven produced a magical effect.
The tram cars glided into stillness, motors ceased to cough and fume, and stopped dead, and the mighty-limbed dray horses hunched back upon their loads and stopped also, seeming to do it of their own volition.
Someone took off his hat, and with a nervous hesitancy the rest of the men bowed their heads also. Here and there an old soldier could be detected slipping unconsciously into the posture of 'attention'. An elderly woman, not far away, wiped her eyes, and the man beside her looked white and stern. Everyone stood very still ... The hush deepened. It had spread over the whole city and become so pronounced as to impress one with a sense of audibility. It was a silence which was almost pain ... And the spirit of memory brooded over it all.
~~From the Manchester Guardian, 12th November 1919.~~
World War I, a.k.a. First World War,
the Great War and
"The War to End All Wars"
It was a total war which left millions dead and helped to shape the modern world.
At 11:00am on November 11, 1918 —
the eleventh hour of
the eleventh day of
the eleventh month —
a ceasefire came into effect and the opposing armies on the Western Front began to withdraw from their positions.
In Flanders Fields
The poem "In Flanders Fields" by the Canadian army physician John McCrae remains to this day one of the most memorable war poems ever written. It is a lasting legacy of the terrible battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915.
"This poem was literally born of fire and blood during the hottest phase of the second battle of Ypres. My headquarters were in a trench on the top of the bank of the Ypres Canal, and John had his dressing station in a hole dug in the foot of the bank. During periods in the battle men who were shot actually rolled down the bank into his dressing station.
Along from us a few hundred yards was the headquarters of a regiment, and many times during the sixteen days of battle, he and I watched them burying their dead whenever there was a lull. Thus the crosses, row on row, grew into a good-sized cemetery.
Just as he describes, we often heard in the mornings the larks singing high in the air, between the crash of the shell and the reports of the guns in the battery just beside us.
I have a letter from him in which he mentions having written the poem to pass away the time between the arrival of batches of wounded, and partly as an experiment with several varieties of poetic metre." Lieutenant Colonel Edward Morrison

On Wednesday, I visited the 9/11 Memorial. Being there felt so sad, so weird, so unable to be put into words. It's so hard to describe the feeling as you stand in front of the waterfalls in the tower footprints. Standing in front of them for the first time took my breath away and gave me goosebumps.
I watched many of those who lost someone make a rubbing of that person's name on a strip of paper using crayons. I think for many, this is so very important. It's the first *thing* that they've been able to hold and take with them, and sort of connect them to what happened that day. It's an entire lifetime of memories of that person etched in letters. Something that they can keep forever.

This is a sort of attempt to recreate one of my first double exposure images. It was shot on a November 22nd, and I was playing around with a film camera that was a gift, essentially grabbing some screen shots (a test roll) of both JFK documentaries and r.e.m.'s Tourfilm video. The cam was a vintage Arette (from an old German friend -- thanks, Trudy! =) with, it turned out, a broken winding mechanism. So, I ended up with all of these unintentional multiple exposures -- and I was instantaneously hooked!
I sadly can't locate those at the moment. They're presumably (hopefully) in storage. So this will have to suffice. I felt compelled to post something for the 50th anniversary of the JFK Assassination.

This made explore!!!
Ohh boy, this 365 is starting to become a hassle. I looked like CRAP today so I was thinking of ways to take my photo without showing my face.
Also, I didn't remember to take my 365 until 5:00pm, time snook up on me and it was SUPER dark outside.
I spent the night at Madison's last night. She lives like .5 miles away from me, but since the roads where crazy icy and my poor little supra has rear wheel drive, I was alllll over the place! Very close to getting into about 5 accidents.
I'm stuck at home, being nagged. I want to do something :/
ALSO!
-Madison taught me some chords on guitar! Very very exciting! You're looking at the next John Meyer.
Big shout out to Emily Hill and her family in Texas, supposedly I have my own little fan club over there. : ]
Thanks!

FDNY Engine 6 sits on display at the NY State museum in Albany. The truck was one of the first on the scene, and was destroyed when the towers collapsed. Four of the five firefighters assigned to the truck that day died. The truck was recovered from the debris, and put on dislay as part of the museum's 9-11 exhibit.

and It is a lot easier to fly!
