ahhhhhhh, late submission that I am not at all happy about.
Friday was definitely a low point in my photography. I don't think I'm much of a journalist photographer, and I think my editing skills are kinda going down. I need to unplug my brain from society and turn over a new leaf.
on another note, look at all that uncut grass! I'd joke with my mom saying that I'd pay the people to not cut the grass...seriously, love tall grass.
If you're watching in black and white, the brown is close to the pink, and if you check back to photo 34 you'll be reminded that my Dannimac was white, but I don't think a Quelrayn flying jacket would have suited my shape in 1971.

I spotted Federica outside St Paul's cathedral eating a sandwich, She stood out so much from the crowd that I was determined to get her photograph... I hung around for a bit taking photos of statues and trying not to look too much like a wierdo stalker while I waited for her to finish eating, then I pounced!
She proved to have a personality to match her looks, a lovely person i felt I could have happily talked to for hours. She was a bit worried at first about posting the pictures on the net, but I was able to show her the web site on my phone and when she saw other photos I had posted she, thankfully, agreed.
I think she has a rare beauty and I was spoilt for choice when i started processing the photos, hence I have added several to my photostream....
Federica is Italian and currently completing her Masters in London having won a scholarship after studying in Bologna. She told me that she was working on her thesis about modern language and slang.
Thank you Federica for agreeing to let me take your photograph, I hope you like them and all the best with the studies :)

In celebration of National Archives Month, archives and special collections libraries from throughout the region showcased their rarely seen holdings for the public in the seventh annual Sacramento Archives Crawl, on Saturday, October 7th. Historic treasures from twenty-two Northern California institutions were displayed at four downtown host locations – the California State Archives, the California State Library, the Center for Sacramento History, and the Sacramento Public Library. Over 340 people visited the Center during the Crawl.
This year’s Archives Crawl featured a “History Scavenger Hunt,” where participants answered questions about the documents and artifacts on display at the four crawl locations. Those correctly answering ten of the clues were then eligible to enter a drawing for a chance to win one of nine Samsung Tab 4 Nooks courtesy of Yellow Cab of Sacramento.
Participants “crawled” between four host locations, all located within downtown Sacramento. At the four locations, the public saw archival collections on display and took behind-the-scenes tours. In addition, representatives from nineteen other archives and special collections libraries tabled at the host locations to discuss their archival collections - historic photographs, rare books, historic artifacts - and answer questions about how to connect with local history resources.
Archives Crawl passports were given to guests as they visited the host institutions. The passport provided a map of the event and information about the participating archives and special collection libraries. Event attendees who got their passport stamped at three of the four host sites were given a set of limited-edition commemorative coasters. The coasters honored the pub crawl theme of "It Came From The Archives?!"
This event was made possible by financial support from the California State Library Foundation, the Friends of the Yolo County Archives, the Gordon-Goldstein Foundation, the Sacramento History Alliance, the Sacramento Public Library, Sierra Health Foundation, Stonebridge Properties, LLC, and Yellow Cab of Sacramento. Additional support from Patricia Johnson. For more information about the crawl, visit www.sacarchivescrawl.com.
