Brian, the subject of this portrait is a amateur artist. He'd asked me to take a reference photograph of a still life which he wanted to paint at a later date.
Afterward I got him to sit in his favourite arm chair and holding his pipe (he is the last of the pipe smokers) look as though he was watching the evening television. It was actually taken aroudn 1pm in the afternoon, the room was darkened by closing the curtains.
I lit Brain from the side using a single Nikon SB800 flashgun to mimic the lamp. I taped a 1/2 CTO filter to the sb800 and zoomed it to 105mm to create the narrowest beam of light.
Camera: D200
Lighting: SB800 with 1/2 CTO Filter
Fierce Winter westerlies were howling straight up the harbour this afternoon but the big freighters weren't deterred and the Pilot vessel still had to do its job.

... imparerai a camminare
.... a volte ti faranno correre anche quando vorrai riposare
.... assieme affronteremo le salite (ma aspettaci alla fine della discesa)
.... le tue impronte saranno sempre insieme alle nostre (anche quando non sentirai più i passi)
consumerai tante paia di scarpe
ma mai dimenticheremo queste
a presto Brian

I've gotta say - we're really diggin' the new & improved studio. Just being in the space is so much fun that we're finding ourselves over there shooting a lot more just for the hell of it. The other day, we dragged Brian McFayden, from MTV (and a bunch of other stuff) over there to play with a little color.

Brian è dovuto andare all'ospedale ed è stato ricoverato. Ha saputo reagire ed ora è finalmente tornato a casa. Sono stati giorni difficili, ma vederlo sereno nella sua casa aiuta a far dimenticare tutto

Two bicyclists pass by as Iowa Interstate train SASI (South Amana, Iowa – Silvis, Illionis) rolls off the Government Bridge onto Arsenal Island in Rock Island, Illinois. Leading this June 6, 2020 afternoon is ES44AC 513, painted as a tribute to the late Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad that once operated where this train is seen.
Brian Carlson, of Rolling Meadows, Illinois, writes that the “unprecedented pause” of 2020 has allowed him to work from home, slow down, and consider his future. “With the arrival of warmer weather, I was feeling the itch to get out and made three photographic expeditions within a few hours’ drive from home. While I haven’t been able to go on any multi-day, multi-state travel extravaganzas in 2020, this welcomed pause has given me the ability to get caught up on nearly everything else…and the time to ponder where I want to go and what I want to see next.”

Mary Brian (1906-2002) was an American actress and film star with dark brown curls and blue/grey eyes, who made the transition from silent films to sound films. She was dubbed 'The Sweetest Girl in Pictures'.
Mary Brian was born Louise Byrdie Dantzler, in Corsicana, Texas, in 1906. She was the daughter of Taurrence J. Dantzler and Louise B. Dantzler. Her brother was Taurrence J. Dantzler, Jr. Her father died when she was one month old and the family later moved to Dallas. In the early 1920s, they moved to Long Beach, California. Mary had intended to become an illustrator but that was laid aside when at age 16 she was discovered in a local bathing beauty contest. One of the judges was famous film star Esther Ralston who was to play her mother in the upcoming Peter Pan and who became a lifelong friend. She didn't win the $25 prize in the contest but Ralston said, "you've got to give the little girl something." So, her prize was to be interviewed by director Herbert Brenon for a role in Peter Pan. Brenon was recovering from eye surgery, and she spoke with him in a dimly lit room. "He asked me a few questions, Is that your hair? Out of the blue, he said, I would like to make a test. Even to this day, I will never know why I was that lucky. They had made tests of every ingénue in the business for Wendy. He had decided he would go with an unknown. It would seem more like a fairy tale. It wouldn't seem right if the roles were to be taken by someone they (the audience) knew or was divorced. I got the part. They put me under contract." The studio renamed her Mary Brian and cast her as Wendy Darling in the silent film version of J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan (Herbert Brenon, 1924). There she starred with Betty Bronson and Esther Ralston, and the three of them stayed close for the rest of their lives. Ralston described both Bronson and Brian as 'very charming people'. The studio said she was age 16 instead of 18, because the latter sounded too old for the role, then signed her to a long-term motion picture contract. Brian played Fancy Vanhern, daughter of Percy Marmont, in Brenon's The Street of Forgotten Men (Herbert Brenon, 1925), which had newcomer Louise Brooks in an uncredited debut role as a moll.
Mary Brian was dubbed "The Sweetest Girl in Pictures." On loan-out to MGM, she played a college belle, Mary Abbott, opposite William Haines and Jack Pickford in Brown of Harvard (1926). She was named one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars in 1926, along with Mary Astor, Dolores Costello, Joan Crawford, Dolores del Río, Janet Gaynor, and Fay Wray. During her years at Paramount, Brian appeared in more than 40 films as the lead, the ingenue or co-star. She worked with Brenon again when she played Isabel in P. C. Wren's Beau Geste (Herbert Brenon, 1926) starring Ronald Colman. That same year she made the war comedy Behind the Front (Eddie Sutherland, 1926) with Wallace Beery, and Harold Teen (1926). In 1928, she played ingenue Alice Deane in Forgotten Faces (Ewald André Dupont, 1928) opposite Clive Brook, her sacrificing father, with Olga Baclanova as her vixen mother and William Powell as Froggy. Brian's first sound film was Varsity (Frank Tuttle, 1928), with part-sound and talking sequences, opposite Buddy Rogers. After successfully making the transition to sound, she co-starred with Gary Cooper, Walter Huston and Richard Arlen in one of the earliest Westerns with sound, The Virginian (Victor Fleming, 1929). In it, she played a spirited frontier heroine, schoolmarm Molly Stark Wood, who was the love interest of the Virginian (Cooper).
Mary Brian co-starred in several hits during the 1930s. She played Gwen Cavendish in George Cukor’s comedy The Royal Family of Broadway (1930) with Ina Claire and Fredric March. A thinly disguised caricature of the private lives of the Barrymore dynasty, it hit the mark to the extent that Ethel Barrymore even threatened to sue Paramount. Brian then appeared as herself in Paramount's all-star revue Paramount on Parade (Edmund Goulding, a.o., 1930), as Peggy Grant in Lewis Milestone’s comedy The Front Page (1931) with Adolphe Menjou and Pat O'Brien. After her contract with Paramount ended in 1932, Brian decided to freelance, which was unusual in a period when multi-year contracts with one studio were common. That same year, she appeared on the vaudeville stage at New York's Palace Theatre. Also in the same year, she starred in Manhattan Tower. Arguably her last good picture was the romantic comedy Hard to Handle (Mervyn LeRoy, 1933), with James Cagney as a grifter. Other film roles include Murial Ross, aka Murial Rossi, in Shadows of Sing Sing (Phil Rosen, 1933), in which she received top billing, Gloria Van Dayham in College Rhythm (Norman Taurog, 1934), Yvette Lamartine in Charlie Chan in Paris (Lewis Seiler, 1935) with Warner Oland, Hope Wolfinger, W. C. Fields’s daughter, in Man on the Flying Trapeze (Clyde Bruckman, 1935), Sally Barnaby in Spendthrift (Raoul Walsh, 1936) opposite Henry Fonda, and Doris in Navy Blues (Ralph Staub, 1937), in which she received top billing. In 1936, she went to England and made three films, including The Amazing Quest of Ernest Bliss (Alfred Zeisler, 1936) in which she starred opposite Cary Grant, to whom she became engaged at one stage. Her final film of the 1930s was Affairs of Cappy Ricks (Ralph Staub, 1937) although she auditioned unsuccessfully for the part that would go to Janet Gaynor in A Star is Born (William A. Wellman, 1937).
When World War II hit in 1941, Mary Brian began traveling to entertain the troops, ending up spending most of the war years traveling the world with the U.S.O., and entertaining servicemen from the South Pacific to Europe, including Italy and North Africa. Commenting on those events that had occurred over fifty years ago, she said in 1996, I was with Charlie Ruggles in Okinawa. And I was on the island of Tinian when they dropped the atomic bomb. Colonel Paul Tibbets, who was the pilot and the officer in charge [of dropping the bomb] took Charlie and me on the plane the next day, and nobody had been allowed in that encampment. So I was on the Enola Gay. Flying to England on a troop shoot, Mary got caught in the Battle of the Bulge and spent the Christmas of 1944 with the soldiers fighting that battle. She made several pictures for Poverty Row companies such as Majestic and Monogram, including the low-budget potboiler I Escaped from the Gestapo (Harold Young, 1943). Her last performance on the silver screen was in Dragnet (Leslie Goodwins, 1947), a B-movie in which she played Anne Hogan opposite Henry Wilcoxon. Over the course of 22 years, Brian had appeared in more than 79 films. Like many 'older' actresses, during the 1950s Brian created a career for herself in television. Perhaps her most notable role was playing the title character's mother in Meet Corliss Archer in 1954. She also dedicated much time to portrait painting after her acting years. Though she was engaged numerous times and was linked romantically to numerous Hollywood men, including Cary Grant and silent film actor Jack Pickford, Brian had only two husbands: magazine illustrator Jon Whitcomb (for six weeks in 1941) and film editor George Tomasini (from 1947 until his death in 1964). After retiring from the screen for good, she devoted herself to her husband's career; Tomasini worked as film editor for Alfred Hitchcock on the classics Rear Window (1954) and Psycho (1960). She died of natural causes in 2002 at a retirement home in Del Mar, California at the age of 96. She is interred in the Eternal Love Section at the Hollywood Hills Cemetery, Los Angeles, overlooking Burbank.

Brian Clough statue, Old Market Square, Nottingham.
The Brian Clough statue stands proudly in Nottingham city centre just off Old Market Square. It was unveiled on 6th November 2008 by Brian’s widow Barbara in front of an estimated crowd of 4,000 people. The statue was paid for thanks to the efforts of the Brian Clough Statue Fund, a group of volunteers who raised nearly £70,000 by selling ‘Cloughie’ related merchandise, organising fund-raising events and accepting donations from the public.
Brian Clough managed Nottingham Forest Football Club for 18 years between 1975 and 1993 and presided over the club's most successful spell in their history. During his reign two European Cups, a European Super Cup, a League Championship and 4 League Cups were all won.
Sadly, Nottingham’s hero passed away on 20th September 2004 so never got to see his statue
