Know these alleys because my grandmother lived there and here I played with my friends. They have the same noises, the same odors, the same lights at the time and awaken distant memories. Campiglia marittima, that is of the Maremma (in Latin Maritima), a medieval town considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, was already inhabited in the Etruscan and Roman times due to the wealth of minerals in the area. The first official document mentioning Campiglia dates back to 1004.

Though the building that now stands at 6260-62 Sunset Boulevard was completed in 1938, Morgan Camera Shop is believed to have first opened its doors at 6305 Sunset in the early 1930s. The 1938 building initially functioned as a photographic salon, although it also operated as a retail and repair shop.

Gilbert Morgan, a pioneer in the miniature camera field, owned the store in the heart of the Hollywood entertainment industry with his brother, Willard D. Morgan, who was instrumental in bringing the 35mm camera to the United States. Morgan & Morgan Press published the work of a number of key artists and photographers, including Ansel Adams. Willard Morgan was also a close friend of Richard Neutra and documented much of the architect's work in Los Angeles.

…… When the Engine Drivers look like boys and trains like this were the rolling stock of your youth! A day trip to Bewdley - ironically went not by Steam Train but by Electric car - Oh how times have changed!! Taken not on a Kodak Brownie but on my phone in Apple RAW and edited in Lightroom and not in the dark room!!!! Press 'Z' or Pinch-out to see the engine drivers. Alan:-) ……..

March 26th 1904, ‘Dear Gertie’. I do hope you are well, in the half light of day I write…..Keeping in touch is a little different today! I wonder what they would think to 😃? STAY IN folks to stay VIRUS FREE and to NOT be a vehicle to pass it on to others, Alan:-)

366 - I’ve decided to do this to force me to pick up a camera other than when we are away on our travels (they will be posted as normal) - I will be interested to see what transpires, they will be varied I’m sure so we’ll see where inspiration takes me over the course of the year, hopefully at the end of it I will be a better photographer. Feel free to critique as you see fit, but please don’t feel obliged, I anticipate they will not be to all tastes. Have a great year and if you also have embarked on a 365 project then good luck in seeing it through, Alan:-)

The shop was founded by James Smith as a single shop in Foubert's Place, London in 1830. Further branches were established in Savile Row and New Burlington Street and the main premises is now in New Oxford Street. The shop-fittings there were constructed around 1865 and the shop still has a traditional Victorian character. [Wiki] It's interesting reading the signage of what they provide (or used to provide back in the Victorian times?)

I've had an unexpected five day stay in hospital this past week so excuse me if I haven't been favin and commentin and generally making a nuisance of myself recently. I'm very slowly getting myself back together. If it's not one thing with me lately...

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw these windows in a lovely old small town building! They celebrate a bygone era when our parents or grandparents lived in a much simpler time. I fell in love with them...

In the modern age, a leisurely horse and carriage ride is but a romantic dalliance, a nostalgic echo of a bygone era when such transportation was the unremarkable norm. The clip-clop of hooves once resonated as the everyday soundtrack of bustling cities and quaint villages alike. Today, as we indulge in these antiquated modes of transport, one is prompted to ponder the commonplace routines of our present age that will, in turn, become the romanticized relics of the future. Will the hum of electric vehicles or the glow of smartphone screens, currently mundane fixtures, evoke a sense of longing for an era when such novelties were part of the everyday tapestry? As time weaves its intricate patterns, the mundane is transmuted into the extraordinary, and what we now take for granted may emerge as the cherished romance of generations yet to come.

These used to be given to all schoolchildren in the UK at the start of each school day. I think that continued into the 1980s. This bottle is probably from the 1960s.
