A gravestone at our parish cemetery. The word "contract" is not to be found on this stone, it is my interpretation of the image. There are occasions in the Hebrew Bible and in the New Testament where the relationship between God and humanity can be understood as a contractual one. Theologically, this would raise all sorts of questions. However, it must also be said that when the tribes and nations of Northern and Western Europe converted to Christianity they did so in the belief of "do ut des" (I am giving to you so that you give to me), that is, they assumed that God would keep his promise as long as they kept theirs. If I am not mistaken, this assumption is still today tacitly underlying a lot of Christian life in the West. The handshake on this stone I see as its visual expression . Fuji X-E3.
The contract brush cutter on the New Hampshire Northcoast is just about finished clearing the main line, this combined with some additional efforts by a certain employee have made the Union Meadows causeway look as good this spring as it probably has since construction of the railroad! Up until relatively recent times this causeway had high brush and trees growing on it, making it completely unshootable. With the freshly rebuilt GP38-2 back on the train this week, albeit in the middle of the consist, combined with decent weather it was a good time to shoot the causeway before the brush starts creeping back up. With 2 loads for Rochester and 25 loads for Boston the three units are having no trouble making track speed despite a late start from Ossipee.

Am 26. September 2021 brachten die 1144.272 und 015, sowie die 1293.002 den TEC 40598 vom Euroterminal in Sławków nach Maddaloni bei Neapel über den Semmering. Mit dieser Verbindung werden hauptsächlich Teile für die Automobilproduktion transportiert. Der Vectron war übrigens seit Jaworzno Szczakowa vor dem Zug und bespannte diesen bis Tarvisio Boscoverde. Zum Jahreswechsel verlor RCA den Auftrag überraschend. Seitdem verkehren die Züge unter der Regie von DB Cargo Czechia und werden mit DB Vectrons bespannt.
On September 26, 2021, the 1144.272 and 015, as well as the 1293.002 brought TEC 40598 from the Euroterminal in Sławków to Maddaloni near Naples via the Semmering. This connection is mainly used to transport parts for automobile production. By the way, the Vectron was in front of the train since Jaworzno Szczakowa and hauled it to Tarvisio Boscoverde. At the turn of the year, RCA surprisingly lost the contract. Since then, the trains have been operated under the direction of DB Cargo Czechia and are hauled by DB Vectrons.
A new year, renewing contract. She signed herself into my power. Every letter, every stroke of her pen was a surrender—her breath, her thoughts, her very essence now bound to my will. She is no longer just an amazing capable woman; she is a vessel, a creation of my command, ready to be shaped, molded, and used. Her soul dances to my rhythm, and in her submission, I find my absolute control. She belongs to me —completely, utterly, and without question.

Koizumu Yagumo (小泉八雲) is a pseudonym of Patric Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) who was born in Lafcada island, Greece to an Irish father and a greek mother. He emigrated to the USA and worked as journalist. He came to Japan as correspondent, visited Matsue, had a Japanese wife from a Samurai family in Matsue, and lived in this Samurai house. Koizumi is the family name of his wife. Yagumo means Izumo province.
He cancelled the correspondent contract, worked as writer and English lecturer, naturalised to Japan and died in Tokyo.
He was a pioneer Japanologist who developed a deep understanding of Japanese cultures. His best known work is "Kwaidan (怪談 spooky stories)" which is a collection of Japanese folk tales on ghosts and spectres.
His former residence is now converted to a museum for his achievements.

The distinctive triangular shape of the Flatiron Building, designed by Chicago architect Daniel Burnham and built in 1902, allowed it to fill the wedge-shaped property located at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway. The building was intended to serve as offices for the George A. Fuller Company, a major Chicago contracting firm. At 22 stories and 307 feet, the Flatiron was never the city’s tallest building, but always one of its most dramatic-looking, and its popularity with photographers and artists has made it an enduring symbol of New York for more than a century. www.history.com

UP LDG51 rumbles past Gold Bar Canyon along the Colorado River near Moab, Utah after departing the potash mine on its return trip up the Cane Creek Branch. The branch was built in 1962 to serve the newly opened potash mine and plant, then owned by Texas Gulf Sulphur. The Rio Grande contracted Morrison-Knudsen to build the entire branch including the 1.3-mile-long tunnel through Bootlegger Canyon.
Running uphill in loose stone whilst falling victim to what seems to be a never ending rainfall. Not what I had in mind for my Saturday morning hike. But we found the bridge and our timing couldn't have been better, or worse, let's just say we made it happen!

66027 heads 4S35, the 1407 Seaforth – Mossend through the Lune Gorge on 19 July 2018. Introduced earlier this year, DB Cargo are reportedly expecting to pick up more contracts as the year goes on.
The loading on this train apparently varies quite a lot, it would have to be a light load when I went for it!
Finally, I've contracted the infamous virus, something I thought would never happen. Ironically, it occurred just a day after I took this photo of a Grey Currawong. While fighting the bug I've had ample time for research and discovered that the Grey Currawong was initially identified as Corvus versicolor by ornithologist John Latham in 1801, who referred to it as the "variable crow."
Despite their resemblance and behavior similar to crows, currawongs are not closely related to true crows. They are, in fact, more closely related to the Australian Magpie and butcherbirds. Together with the Pied Currawong and Black Currawong , the Grey Currawong forms the genus Strepera.
(Strepera versicolor) most likely subspecies melanoptera.

NOTE: If you care about photography as art, please read the following before commenting or favoriting this photograph. Thanks.
I've photographed Florence Welch a few times now and it's really spectacular to photograph a dynamic female performer. I don't connect as much emotionally with her music at this point in her career but I still find her talented.
Recently, one of my photographer friends told me about the contract that photographers who wanted to cover her shows this last tour had to sign giving up their copyrights. This is nothing too new...it has been happening in this crippling industry for some time now but I just wanted to revisit this topic because I think it's important for people to know about it.
When you are a concert photographer, chances are unless you are working for Getty or for Wire or some other corporate entity, you are literally making no money photographing. Even when I was paid in previous years to photograph festivals and bands/musicians, it was never enough even to cover one camera base COLLECTIVELY. This means, I have essentially invested a significant amount of life savings in something I do for the joy of it.
Additionally, as a concert photographer, your work is expected pretty much right away. That means, I am missing sleep that night to work on all the photos and usually still pulling through and going to work the next day unless the show is on Friday or Saturday. That's a lot of love and energy for music just to promote what you love and it's free press for the bands/musicians. Without amazing images of themselves, would bands and musicians be as famous? It's an interesting thing to consider...
Yet, this kind of emotional and financial investment is just not enough for this industry. What they have done now is made it a standard practice to have photographers sign away the rights to their work...so now, I am working for free (and losing money and sleep) and I don't even own the rights to my own photos?
So what does this mean? In the practical sense, what it means is that if the industry wants a photo for free, I am obligated by contract to provide it to them-at the very least, I won't be paid anything even if the label wants to print out my photo on a billboard or something. Some of you might think this would be pretty cool but it's funny, you honestly can't pay your rent or buy groceries just by pointing up at the sky going, "Hey, I took that photo!" Guess what...chances are pretty good that your landlord won't care so much.
And, perhaps in the even graver sense, it means over time you also realize that you are not seen as an artist. Florence is an artist but those who dedicate time, energy, and finances are not, for example. I am not an artist, right? I mean, if I was an artist, I would at the very least own the rights to my own work.
Do some of you understand why I've switched increasingly more to street photography these days? Maybe you're getting the gist of it.
Now, artists like Florence Welch may not realize their labels are doing this kind of thing. When Sonic Youth had a contract back in 2011, their label Matador forced photographers to sign a contract and the band had no idea about it. But, at this point in time, bands and musicians need to educate themselves and, if they believe photographers to be artists, they need to strongly consider dropping these sorts of rights grabs.
Other rights grab contracts: Morrissey, Gogol Bordello, Beck, bands on Nasty Little Man almost completely all have rights grabs, Riot Fest (not very punk rock is it?), Coachella (Golden Voice)...the list goes on.
Try investing over $2000 to fly into the desert and have a place to stay to shoot Coachella with no money paid to you at all for the weekend of running around like crazy with no sleep and find out in the middle of the desert you won't own any of the photos you took because Goldenvoice owns them instead. What are you going to do-get on the plane and fly back home that instant? I was there the first year they sprung this on photographers and it was and still is deplorable. In 2015, Goldenvoice made $84,264,264 MILLION in just ticket sales for Coachella.
These corporations have gotten greedy, have taken advantage of artists, and it's really shameful.
So, happy birthday Florence Welch. I hope you have a lovely little dance and birthday cake and I hope that tomorrow when you wake up a little older, you wise up too.
Concert photographers are artists just like you.

Main Building, glass front towards Frankenring
Textile Engineering School Krefeld (today Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences, Dept. of Design)
1952-1954, Architect Bernhard Pfau
"[...] Franz Lorscheidt was responsible for the first construction phase, the contract for the second and third was won by Bernhard Pfau in a restricted competition, who is known for the originality of his designs, which often play with glass, and the often hidden construction principles of his buildings.
The changeability of all school rooms required in the tender brought the architect to his resourceful construction. "At Pfau, design always evolves from construction," says Pfau specialist Marcus Wrede in a 2012 lecture. The facade of the long wing of the building, which is closed with a narrow ribbon of windows and surrounded by greenish glass skin, guides the students to delve deeper into their studies. The building opens onto the bright inner courtyard. [...]
The urgently required renovation of the building complex is a challenge, also because details can no longer be reconstructed today. [...]"

New contract - Go-Ahead London E264 (SN62DFL) on route 291 to Woodlands Estate at Woolwich on 08/12/2018
In readiness for the introduction of Crossrail (or to give its proper name - the Elizabeth Line), the 291 gained a substantial capacity increase in the form of Alexander Dennis Enviro400s, and Go-Ahead won the contract running the route out of it's Morden Wharf garage in Greenwich.
In sharp contrast to the 9.6m Enviro200s they replaced, these vehicles carry roughly the same number of passengers on the lower deck alone as their predecessors did, so the overcrowding issues on the route should no longer be an issue.

New contract - London Sovereign ADE40429 (YX12GHK) on route 142 at Brent Cross on 06/01/2018
After 32 years of being run from Garston garage, route 142 was awarded to London Sovereign from Edgware garage.
ADE40429 represents the new order, approaching Brent Cross bus station having gained a refurbishment. As with most of these refurbishments, they mistakenly have London United logos instead of London Sovereign ones.
