Teach Your Children
You, who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a goodbye
Teach your children well
Their father's hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you
And you, of tender years
You can't know the fears that your elders grew by
And so, please, help them with your youth
'Cause they seek the truth before they can die
Teach your children well
Their father's hell will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you

These vintage toys were photographed in the Loop-Harrison mansion, a Victorian era home that is part of the Sanilac County Historic Village & Museum, in Port Sanilac, Michigan. I think I would have loved having toys like these when I was a kid.

Also Happy Truck Thursday! Thanks for the invitation, Paul.
The little man stands up for the future…
I live in the United States of America, and, while I’d never tell anyone who to vote for, I find the pivotal moment before us too important to sit quietly on the sidelines. No matter where you live, I hope you have the ability to stand up for what you believe in, to use your voice, to use your power for good, and, right now in my country, to get out and vote.
I believe in working together to build a world founded on kindness, compassion, connection and community. I believe character matters. I believe we should lift one another up and treat each other with dignity by showing respect even if we disagree. I believe everyone has the right to make decisions about what happens to their body, and everyone has the right to choose who they love. I believe in a world where everyone can pursue their dreams and where we help one another to achieve them, a world where we bring people together through understanding. I believe in freedom, and the best way to be more free is to grant more freedom to others.
If, like me, you have this important right, the right to vote,
please do, and stand up for your future.
I shan't be around very much between now and the new year so I take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy Christmas and New Year.
Comments are very welcome but please no invites as I won't have time to deal with them.
(For those that are interested, this is our Christmas card for this year. It was originally shot in 1981 and has been re-photographed, tweaked, selectively coloured, text added and, of course, approved at every stage by the AD. It features our two children, now aged 36 and 38.)

E.m.p. from the mother and son
Tore the digital down
Dawned is the age of the innocent ones
The indigo children
Analog time piece sky wide
Sync to the ticker inside
Move to the rhythm of the moon and tide
The indigo children
Serious Venus and the lunar child
(get your life up untied)
Giggle and the flames grow higher
Dance in a circle around a central fire
The indigo children
Wine, song, food and fire
Clothe, shelter and seed
No more need for the old empire (there they were to the empire) the indigo children
Serious Venus and the lunar child
Giggle and the flames grow higher
Dance in a circle around a central fire
The indigo children
Wine, song, food and fire
Clothe, shelter and seed
No more need for the old empire(fare thee well to the empire) the indigo children
The indigo children come
Excerpt from www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/place-lieu.aspx?id=15154:
Description of Historic Place
Bronte Cemetery is located in Bronte Village between the West Street fork, south of Seneca Drive, in the Town of Oakville. The forested cemetery had its first burial in 1823.
The property was designated, by the Town of Oakville in 1987, for its heritage value, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, By-law 1987-294.
Heritage Value
Bronte Cemetery is associated with the area's earliest pioneers. In 1830, Philip Sovereign deeded the east corner of his farm for the cemetery, after several people had been buried there, beginning in 1823. He specified that it be for people of "all orders, sects, nations and parties". Almost a third of the headstones belong to children, others to mariners. The mariners interred include, Jimmy Baker, first mate on the schooner Magellan, who died when it collided with the U. L. Hurd, in 1877 and the Dorland brothers, fishermen lost east of Bronte in the great gale and snowstorm of December 1886. Many of the early notable families in the cemetery include: Adams, Belyea, Butler, Dorland, Lucas, MacDonald, McWane, Osborne, Ribble, Sovereign, Triller and Williams.
Bronte Cemetery is a good representation of 19th century cemetery design. It is characterised by a naturalistic setting to attract and comfort the living, the use of markers and monuments to perpetuate the memory of individuals of historic importance and a park-like layout for public use. True to the original plan, gravesites are placed with separate individual markers.
Character-Defining Elements
Character defining elements that contribute to the heritage value of Bronte Cemetery include its:
- original markers and monuments, with their surviving inscriptions
- variety of styles, materials and symbolism represented in the markers and monuments
- range of size and sophistication of markers and monuments, from modest to elaborate
- park-like layout including its mature trees
- monuments
- individual grave markers with their surviving inscriptions
- location in Bronte on early settlement grounds
Making bricks is a common activity on the highlands of the Madagascar. The clay used to make the bricks is taken from the rice fields and this extraction contribute to the degradation of the soil of the rice fields. But also it is necessary to burn lot of firewood to fuel the kilns and this contribute enormously to the deforestation of the island.

I'm not sure about this photo whether I should really write something about it or just leave it that way? Everyone can make their own thoughts about it and what they feel. Only this: This image means a lot to me, it was a long time ago - back in the days of analog times with my old Canon F1 - and it is an important part of me and my whole life.
Life goes on and this picture helps me a lot to do this now, because children give me everything and they are the hope for tomorrow. They are full of joie de vivre, real and authentic. The time with them was the best of my life, but also the most intense.
Don't limit your child to what you've learned because they were born in a different time.
(From Hebrew.)
Three things have remained from Paradise: The stars of the night, the flowers of the day and the eyes of children.
(Dante Alighieri)
There are so many wonderful memories attached to this picture. I have a tear in my eyes...

Uigur children were photographed on my overland through Tibet and Xinjiang in 1987. All of these children are now adults with their own children and some maybe even with grandchildren.
The picture was originally photographed on slide film with my Nikon FE camera and 130 mm telephoto lens.
I photographed the slide bracketing it with a Nikon D850 camera and enhanced the picture in Lightroom, Photoshop, and Topaz.

Children of Darkness: Written by Richard Farina, and sung here by Raymond Crooke
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2_KogbPzhA
I had not heard of Raymond or his version of this song until just a few minutes ago. I was always used to Joan Baez's more heavily orchestrated rendition. I think Raymond's version has more gusto.
I guess it's OK for flickr people to help boost Youtube people.
A little bit of an LOL...When I went looking for the lyrics, I was offered a "Children of Darkness" ringtone. Nothing much is sacred anymore.

Lyrics
the original song of RICHARD FARINA
(copyright Whitmark and Sons) is the following
Now is the time for your loving, dear,
And the time for your company
Now when the light of reason fails
And fires burn on the sea
Now in this age of confusion
I have need for your company.
It's once I was free to go roaming in
The wind of the springtime mind
It's once the clouds I sailed upon
Were sweet as lilac wine
So why are the breezes of summer, dear
Enlaced with a grim design?
And where was the will of my father when
We raised our swords on high?
And where was my mother's wailing when
Our flags were justified?
And where will we take our pleasures when
Our bodies have been denied?
For I am a wild and a lonely child
And the child of an angry man
Now with the high wars raging
I would offer you my hand
For we are the children of darkness
And the prey of a proud, proud land.

This Is a title of my first full video workshop. Because we live in those difficult times I decided to share my knowledge and experience with you by creating a set of videos.
This is the first time you can learn everything about my approach to photography and photo editing from your home.
I will take you to a photo session with me, tell you about my photography approach, and show you how I manage and edit my photos – step by step, just like in a stationary workshop.
You will learn how I look for natural light, how I compose photos, how I choose colors, what techniques I use, and what equipment. After watching the videos, you will understand how those images you know from my portfolio are created. Additionally, you will receive a set of files that I am working on to test my post-production techniques as you watch the video.
This course is over 7 hours of video material and a set of files, and above all, the knowledge that has been only available at stationary workshops so far.
If you want to know more just send me a message here on Flick or e-mail my iwonapodlasinska@yahoo.pl
I will be happy to tell you more.
Thi photo was taken during my workshop in Warsaw, Poland. I wanted to share it today because today on March 8th we celebrate Women's Day. All the best to all the women out there!
