Third and final night in Lincoln, we wanted to go and have a bit of a dance, so went looking for some 80s music.
We ended up having one of the best nights out ever at Home nightclub - not explicitly LGBT friendly, but we have found that pretty much anywhere is friendly if you have a friendly attitude.
We met lots of people, had a good dance and the dance floor was light-up coloured tiles - awesome! What a fantastic evening!
Cheeky selfie!
huh ?? the translation is incredible. . love to hear your comments on this one
found in Old Delhi about 1994
A little bit of history
Indian film poster artists have left an indelible mark on our minds. Hand painted posters were not only a means of advertising but a representation of culture. Back in time, film releases were preceded with the most popular form of advertising prevalent then – film posters plastered on crowded streets, followed by large billboards overlooking busy marketplaces. Although the exact origin of the use of hand painted posters in film advertising in India are not certain, they can be traced way back to the 1920s. Rapid growth of Indian cinema from the 1950s onwards (referred to by many as the “golden period”) fueled demand for outdoor film advertising. Talented artists from across India responded to this need by specializing themselves in the trade of creating hand painted film posters and billboards and taking up the practice as their full time profession. Putting soul into their paintings, these master artists created lifelike impressions of some of the biggest icons in the Indian film business, and thus the magic of hand painted billboards and film posters was born.
Their colours captured the shades of characters and reflected the intensity and drama behind the scenes they represented. Many poster artists used unique colours to portray negative or positive shades of characters, such as blue being synonymous with evil, red signifying anger or revenge, and pink portraying love. Such was their mastery, that they made the streets of India come alive with their unique colours and painting styles that became virtually synonymous with Indian cinema. During their prime, the presence of massive hand painted billboards outside theater halls delivered an unforgettable visual treat, pushing the definition of film poster art beyond advertising, and metamorphosing it into a cultural icon instead.
In 1990, when television had officially taken over outdoor advertising as the mainstay medium of film publicity, the emphasis on hand painted movie billboards and posters dwindled rapidly. In 1992, the digital printing revolution delivered the final nail in the coffin, closing the curtains on this traditional art.

Our annual May Lincoln weekend and we had some company this time round.
We organised a meal at Ole Ole Tapas with a few friends - Alice, Isobel, Trisha and Cindy. We all walked up Steep Hill to get there but it was well worth the effort - the tapas at Ole Ole is amazing.
Aslo gave a first outing to my modified handbag. Many thanks to Gemma for helping with the wiring and advice for this - it looks amazing! I'm so pleased with it!

My first weekend in Milton Keynes since September 2017. Pink Punters has changed a lot since I was last there - the attic bar is now a swanky cocktail bar and it looks great!
It was our good friend Melissa's birthday so we had a meal and a birthday cake presentation in TGI Fridays.
We also helped Helen out for her first real outing in public too. And saw some friends I haven't seen in ages!
And the next day I had Ikea meatballs for the first time and they were delicious!
Back at the hotel with Helen ready to go to Pink Punters.

Anddd the weekend comes to an end once again :'(
Pretty relaxing, especially with the clocks turning back an hour which is always exciting yet quite depressing when the sun sets at 5pm and you walk into class when it's still bright outside and walk out when it's pitch black and you're like..."what happened?!" D:
We like to go try new places around Hamilton; eat out and go on adventures. Lately we've been sticking to the same all you can eat sushi favourites so I wanted to try something new. Thanks to a recommendation from a friend we travelled downtown Saturday night to a little korean/japanese palce called Ajio and had a great time and definitely want to go back! On top of ordering bulgogi and unagi bi bim baps that include salad and miso soup, 2 salmon maki rolls, and japchae, we also got complimentary congee, cod and oranges to finish! All for 40$ Incredible.
When we finished we were walking back to the bus stop and there were Christmas lights already hung up at Gore Park, so I had my camera and 45mm ts-e on me and wanted to give it a go and try and get some really nice bokeh :D It was super dark and I don't like pushing the 5d past 1600, so I shot wide open (thankfully the 45 is much sharper than the 24mm ts-e) with tilt to get even more bokeh, shot at a relatively low shutter speed to get that nice ambient light and waited for a car to pass by to get that nice highlight on Courtney's face :)
I had such immense issues editing this photo!!!! It's been a while when I have no idea how I want it to look and everything I try just doesn't work...b+w, gold tones, even curves and levels were touchy...so I left it straight out of camera due to the gentle tones on her face cast by the light and like it just as is.

Many have commented on my photos of small Texas towns and those comments are sincerely appreciated. I have a love for rural and small town Texas because that is where my roots are, going back many generations. This particular series is special to me, however. My mother would have turned 100 this month and I visited Thornton, Texas, her home town, during the summer to take this series of photographs. The place holds many memories for me from my trips there to visit my grandmother and aunts and uncles while growing up. Sadly, many of the old buildings that I remember so well are gone, including Fisher Hardware (that was nothing like the modern big box hardware stores) and Black’s Drug Store, with its “old fashioned” soda fountain. My grandmother’s house is gone, too, destroyed in a fire several years ago. My visit to the local cemetery was very poignant, as well. My mom and dad are buried in Houston but Mom’s parents and all of her siblings and their spouses are buried in Thornton.
Thornton is located on State Highway 14 in Limestone County. Settlement began in 1868. In 1870, the Houston and Texas Central Railway ran a line through the area from Hearne to Groesbeck. The community became a railroad stop and was named for John E. Thornton, an early resident. (The story of how my grandfather, mayor of Thornton in the 1930’s and early 1940’s, convinced the railroad company not to discontinue using Thornton as a railroad stop, which would have ended their passenger service, is a family legend.)
A post office was established in 1873 and, soon thereafter, cotton gins were set up nearby. Ceramics manufacturing also took place in Thornton, though agriculture was the mainstay of the area. Thornton Institute, an early college, was established in 1877 but later became Thornton School. The Thornton Masonic lodge No. 486 was chartered in 1878 and other organizations followed.
By 1880 Thornton had a population of 200, thirteen businesses, and three churches. Within ten years, the population had more than doubled and Thornton had steam gristmills and a local newspaper. In 1904, the population was 586 and, after unsuccessful attempts, the town was incorporated in 1907.
During this period of time the population grew, reaching 678 between 1910 and 1920, and business continued to expand. In addition to the cotton gins, schools, churches, and steam gristmills, the town soon had eighteen brick stores (mostly gone now), a bank, a commission house, a hotel, and electric lights. In 1918, the first airplane landed in Thornton, piloted in from Houston. By 1926 Thornton had 733 residents, a deep water well, and telephone connections. The population peaked at nearly 2,000 in the late 1920’s and then began a decline. Between 1969 and 1989 Thornton had a population between 408 and 498, and the number of businesses was five. The population currently remains at approximately 500 (as of the 2000 census).
