"Confiance" Class sea-going tug "RMAS Confident", 760 tons, launched 1956, completed 1956. At the Portsmouth Navy Day, 08/80. Scanned photograph taken with a Canon AE-1 Program.
Like other chickadee species, mountain chickadees move constantly and don't spend any spare time beyond the harbor of the trees, making them a bit of a challenge to photograph. That's why I took so many pics of them, and why I especially like this one.
Although these little guys are similar to the black-capped chickadees we have in town (4,500 ft elevation), their markings are just a little different, and they enjoy much higher elevations (in this case, about 9,000 ft). I love both kinds for the sweet sounds they make.
Explainer: While I wish I could fully dress, wig-up and make-up regularly, those days are rare. So I post these AI renderings. FYI: the photos are AI generated, from actual photos of me, enhanced slightly with FaceApp and then dressed from outfits I see and love on the interweb. Enjoy them or not! I do, that's all that matters! Love, Crystal

MASSIMO RANIERI. IL CORAGGIO DEL SOGNO AD ALTOMONTE
PER IL FESTIVAL EUROMEDITERRANEO
All’edizione numero ventotto del Festival Euromediterraneo di Altomonte (CS) Massimo Ranieri sprigiona tutta “l’energia mediterranea”.
Dopo le piogge che hanno costretto gli organizzatori ad aggiornare qualche data in calendario, ecco che sul palco dell’anfiteatro Costantino Belluscio di Altomonte, borgo calabrese tra i più belli d’Italia, sale lui, l’istrionico Massimo Ranieri, con una formazione musicale eccelsa composta da Massimiliano Rosati e Andrea Pistilli alle chitarre, Flavio Mazzocchi piano e tastiere, Luca Trolli batteria, Pierpaolo Ranieri basso e contrabasso, Stefano Indino fisarmonica e tastiere, Donato Sensini sassofoni e flauto e Alessandro Golini al violino.
Il coraggio è il filo conduttore dello spettacolo Sogno e son desto: chi nun tene coraggio nun se cocca ch' 'e femmene belle. Tra i “Vent’anni”-pezzo d’ingresso- e le “Rose rosse” -ultimo brano eseguito- c’è l’inganno, il tradimento, la passione, l’amore, ci sono De Gregori, Molière, Teresa De Sio, Mimmo Modugno, Pino Daniele. C’è la vita. La poesia di Salvatore di Giacomo, il mare, ‘e stell ‘nfront all’uocch e Carulì. C’è Napoli. C’è l’energia del mondo. C’è don Milani e la sua “lettera ad una professoressa”. La paglietta spizzicata di Ciccio Formaggio che nun tene 'o curaggio, e che “fa a pugni” con la forza di un mondo al femminile omaggiato nella poesia di Alda Merini e con un brano di Oriana Fallaci. “La amo, perché non aveva peli sulla lingua” dice lo showman e via, leggio e luci a fare sue le viscerali parole che raccontano il cuore. C’è il teatro di Nino Taranto e dell’immenso De Filippo, Totò. C’è Massimo Ranieri che torna ad Altomonte dopo dieci anni e fa il tutto esaurito.
Due ore e mezzo di spettacolo puro che sono un abbraccio continuo e Micaela, in prima fila con la sua rosa rossa per “Massimo”, così come lo chiama, con la confidenza di un amico, lo sa, che “lui non si risparmia. Lo seguo da sempre”. Infaticabile fuoriclasse della musica italiana, non si è risparmiato infatti. E ha regalato la degna, programmata, chiusura di un festival che vuole essere “identità, cultura e coraggio – dice l’assessore al Turismo Lina Fittipaldi- il coraggio che serve ai sogni per essere realizzati. E su questa strada, quella dell’energia mediterranea, che è il sottotitolo di questa ventottesima edizione dell’ Eurofestival, diretta da Marianna Stefania Caporale ed Andrea Solano in collaborazione con la società cooperativa “Officine delle Idee”, vogliamo continuare a lavorare per un futuro che valorizzi ancora le nostre risorse turistiche, culturali e produttive”.

Now here's a happy fellow. Normally we are given the impression from a human perspective, that imprisonment is wrong. Granted, all animals should be free, but the reality of the situation is that they're safer in here that they are out there. This zebra had an interesting personality about him. He'd be grazing, and very noticeably, his genitalia would swing around whenever he pulled out a tuft of grass. Right after this picture, he'd look up and me, as if to ask, "yeah, what's up buddy? You like?"

Some of you may have noticed that, unfortunately, owing to the fact that a certain person who sells truck photos on eBay commercially has been lifting my images from this album and selling them I have had to remove 2300 photos that didn't have a watermark. I have now run around 1700 through Lightroom and added a watermark with the intention of bulk uploading them again. Rather than watermark the existing (hidden) files in Flickr one at a time it will be easier to do it this way. I definitely won’t be adding individual tags with the make and model of each vehicle I will just add generic transport tags. Each photo is named after the vehicle and reg in any case. For anyone new to these images there is a chapter and verse explanation below. It is staggering how many times I get asked questions that a quick scan would answer or just as likely I can’t possibly answer – I didn’t take them, but, just to clarify-I do own the copyright- and I do pursue copyright theft.
This is a collection of scanned prints from a collection of photographs taken by the late Jim Taylor A number of years ago I was offered a large number of photographs taken by Jim Taylor, a transport photographer based in Huddersfield. The collection, 30,000 prints, 20,000 negatives – and copyright! – had been offered to me and one of the national transport magazines previously by a friend of Jim's, on behalf of Jim's wife. I initially turned them down, already having over 30,000 of my own prints filed away and taking space up. Several months later the prints were still for sale – at what was, apparently, the going rate. It was a lot of money and I deliberated for quite a while before deciding to buy them. I did however buy them directly from Jim’s wife and she delivered them personally – just to quash the occasional rumour from people who can’t mind their own business. Although some prints were sold elsewhere, particularly the popular big fleet stuff, I should have the negatives, unfortunately they came to me in a random mix, 1200 to a box, without any sort of indexing and as such it would be impossible to match negatives to prints, or, to even find a print of any particular vehicle. I have only ever looked at a handful myself unless I am scanning them. The prints are generally in excellent condition and I initially stored them in a bedroom without ever looking at any of them. In 2006 I built an extension and they had to be well protected from dust and moved a few times. Ultimately my former 6x7 box room office has become their (and my own work’s) permanent home.
I hope to avoid posting images that Jim had not taken his self, however should I inadvertently infringe another photographers copyright, please inform me by email and I will resolve the issue immediately. There are copyright issues with some of the photographs that were sold to me. A Flickr member from Scotland drew my attention to some of his own work amongst the first uploads of Jim’s work. I had a quick look through some of the 30 boxes of prints and decided that for the time being the safest thing for me to do was withdraw the majority of the earlier uploaded scans and deal with the problem – which I did. whilst the vast majority of the prints are Jims, there is a problem defining copyright of some of them, this is something that the seller did not make clear at the time. I am reasonably confident that I have since been successful in identifying Jims own work. His early work consists of many thousands of lustre 6x4 prints which are difficult to scan well, later work is almost entirely 7x5 glossy, much easier to scan. Not all of the prints are pin sharp but I can generally print successfully to A4 from a scan.
You may notice photographs being duplicated in this Album, unfortunately there are multiple copies of many prints (for swapping) and as I have to have a system of archiving and backing up I can only guess - using memory - if I have scanned a print before. The bigger fleets have so many similar vehicles and registration numbers that it is impossible to get it right all of the time. It is easier to scan and process a print than check my files - on three different PC’s - for duplicates. There has not been, nor will there ever be, any intention to knowingly breach anyone else's copyright. I have presented the Jim Taylor collection as exactly that-The Jim Taylor Collection- his work not mine, my own work is quite obviously mine.
Unfortunately, many truck spotters have swapped and traded their work without copyright marking it as theirs. These people never anticipated the ease with which images would be shared online in the future. I would guess that having swapped and traded photos for many years that it is almost impossible to control their future use. Anyone wanting to control the future use of their work would have been well advised to copyright mark their work (as many did) and would be well advised not to post them on photo sharing sites without a watermark as the whole point of these sites is to share the image, it is very easy for those that wish, to lift any image, despite security settings, indeed, Flickr itself, warns you that this is the case. It was this abuse and theft of my material that led me to watermark all of my later uploads. I may yet withdraw non-watermarked photos, I haven’t decided yet. (I did in the end)
To anyone reading the above it will be quite obvious that I can’t provide information regarding specific photos or potential future uploads – I didn’t take them! There are many vehicles that were well known to me as Jim only lived down the road from me (although I didn’t know him), however scanning, titling, tagging and uploading is laborious and time consuming enough, I do however provide a fair amount of information with my own transport (and other) photos. I am aware that there are requests from other Flickr users that are unanswered, I stumble across them months or years after they were posted, this isn’t deliberate. Some weekends one or two “enthusiasts” can add many hundreds of photos as favourites, this pushes requests that are in the comments section ten or twenty pages out of sight and I miss them. I also have notifications switched off, I receive around 50 emails a day through work and I don’t want even more from Flickr. Other requests, like many other things, I just plain forget – no excuses! Uploads of Jim’s photos will be infrequent as it is a boring pastime and I would much rather work on my own output.

"Sixteen, I was silly, confused and incapable. Twenty-five I was smart, confident and decisive. Forty-five, I am silly, confused, insecure and incapable. Who would have thought that this mature period is so short a man's age? "Jules Feiffer
Scientists have discovered that people are the happiest at the beginning and end of their lives. At the age of 40, the graph of happiness makes the head of the U-shaped arc, and this "hard every" remains exactly on the bottom of this graph. The highest risk group is "weaker gender", ie men in their 40s.
"Men's Home" is the five main characters - four men and one ... home. The home that the man built with his wife and which should be sold off after a break. Does she have a depression? Loneliness? Yeah, but this does not talk to the men. But what are the men really talking about? So with each other? If they have come to the forties in the "hard time"?
And then that's home. Valuable and valued. How long has you been done? Home - it's a fortress, a sense of security and ... love. Yes, love is still the most. Funny, that's how easy it is. Really funny
