Curated by noted historian Dr Murray Johnson and archival assistance from Ms Saadia Thomson-Dwyer and Ms Kate Wilson, Top 150: Documenting Queensland was presented by Queensland State Archives to celebrate the State's Sesquicentenary year of 2009.
These documents provide a rare and valuable insight into our fascinating past. From a fledgling convict settlement which was established at Redcliffe in 1824, European settlement of Queensland eventually extended to the far north and the harsh environment of the west. As the Top 150 documents reveal, expansion came at a considerable cost to the original occupants who inhabited the land for more than 40,000 years.
A number of significant themes, particularly regionalism and the contribution of immigrants to Queensland development become apparent in this exhibition. Despite strong efforts to create separate political entities in the central and northern districts, Queensland remains one of the largest States in the Australian Commonwealth.
Queensland is unique in having two distinct Indigenous peoples - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. Apart from the original Indigenous peoples, the British, Irish, Melanesians, Chinese and Germans are among other ethnic groups who have left their indelible mark on Queensland history.
In recent times Torres Strait Islanders and Aboriginal people have also been at the forefront of the modern land rights movement, exemplified by the 1992 Mabo Case and the 1996 Wik Decision. Here, as elsewhere, individuals often played pivotal roles and the exhibition highlights many of the people whose influence at times extended beyond the geographical borders of Queensland in such fields as literature, law, medicine, technology and conservation.
Continuing at the Horn Lake Target for this photo, but we’re jumping forward a bit. Interrupting our August 2023 remodel photoset, this shot takes us to a time after the remodel’s completion, looking at a set of emergency exit doors at the rear of the salesfloor within sporting goods. Ten years ago, a photo of this very spot was my first-ever upload to flickr. (They realigned the dang aisles in the remodel – there’s now an endcap blocking the spot where I was standing back in 2014, so it was impossible to get the exact same angle!)
I suppose it’s a cliché in and of itself to say I’m at a loss for words, but truly I am. (This, despite the long description you can clearly see below!) I can’t say I’m surprised it’s been that long, because in a lot of ways, no, it does feel like I’ve been doing this for a long time. On the other hand, in other ways, it’s still crazy for me to think I’ve been at this for so long. Ten years is a very long time! That’s a decade of my life – and I’ve only had two of those, plus some change! When I started this account I was a junior in high school, bored at home over Christmas break. I enjoyed the opportunity to document local retail in the region I grew up in as well as the opportunity to join the community, interact with y’all, and curate a photostream (and a blog!) as a fun hobby during college. Five years of that went by, and now I am a CPA living in the capital area of the state I’ve called home for my entire life. I don’t know what I envisioned for myself post-graduation – nothing concrete, really – but I will say that this was an unexpected location, and it’s crazy to me that flickr, and all of its people, has been there this whole time, throughout everything.
I don’t know what to say to you guys. I really don’t think I would have been (or continue to be) as engaged in this hobby if not for all of you – the photos you upload, the blog posts you write, the comments you leave, the images you fave. I wish I could say I had some grand special plan to celebrate ten years, but I really don’t. Heck, as I wrote last week, we’ll be starting 2025 with the remainder of my first-ever photoset not to conclude cleanly at year’s end: no big deal, of course, but internally at least it does seem to speak to the ever-decreasing amount of time I seem to have available to devote to this hobby. And that makes me sad. But, by the same token, I’m still not intending to go anywhere. I do want this to remain fun for me, and I think the crowd I “grew up” with on flickr is mostly experiencing similar pulls in life drawing them away from more regular activity, and that’s okay. I love all the newer folks too, and thoroughly want to continue encouraging people to keep joining the hobby, as it is a ton of fun. Moreover, I like to think it actually does accomplish something important: not just photographing a random store, but documenting an appreciation of design decisions, historical recordkeeping, and so much more than that. And it’s wild to think that my photos may well be an impetus for some people to join the site – I never really anticipated I’d be an inspiration just like many others have been to me!
Anyway, to continue what I was saying – in order to keep this fresh and fun and not get burnt out, uploads may keep slowing down, I don’t know. I don’t want them to, but I’ve also learned I don’t want to make any promises, lol. What I do want to do is keep going through my backlog, because I’ve got plenty of neat places to share, and to let you know that I haven’t stopped adding to the backlog, either, even if it is in much less frequency than years past. I have uploaded over 8,630 photos, and written over 150 blog posts. I can’t believe it! And y’all have viewed and read so, so many of those, some of you 100% of them. Thank you for that!!
I had a goal to photograph all 29 Kroger stores in Mississippi, and I finally met that goal last week, just shy of this 10-year mark. (I’ve actually photographed 32 out of 29 – Kroger closed a few over the years!) I’m sure you know by now that I love the state I live in and I’m proud to be sharing its retail with you guys. As I said, I’ve got so much more to upload in the future, and while I don’t have anything specifically special planned to celebrate ten years, I am at least happy that my final photos of the Horn Lake Target post-remodel will serve as a bit of a way to mark the occasion. With that store having been the very first one I ever uploaded a photo of, that seems pretty fitting to me, and so too was my thinking behind sharing this particular photo for this anniversary.
I did notice that somewhere along the way I must have gotten myself confused, as it looks like that “before” image was uploaded on December 30th, 2014, not the 31st, which is when I thought I joined the site :P Ah well, my annual New Year’s Eve post has become a tradition for me by now, so no sense in changing that up! I’ll see y’all in a few days with some fresh uploads to kick off 2025. Happy New Year everyone, and thanks again for supporting me for 10 years on flickr (and counting)!!

French painter Maurice Denis (1870-1943) was one of the leading artists during the transition from Impressionism to Modern Art. He was heavily influenced by the Symbolist works of Paul Gauguin. Denis would paint with rich colors and experiment with warm and cool colors. Some of his theories have become the foundations of cubism, fauvism, and abstract art.

Bishops' House
Bishops' House is a half-timbered house in the Norton Lees district of the City of Sheffield, England. It was built c. 1500[1] and is located on the southern tip of Meersbrook Park. It is one of the three surviving timber-framed houses in the city (the others being the Old Queen's Head and Broom Hall).
It is known as Bishops' House because it was said to have been built for two brothers, John and Geoffrey Blythe, both of whom became Bishops. There is, however, no evidence that they ever lived in this house—the first known resident is William Blythe, a farmer and scythe manufacturer, who was living here in 1627.
Samuel Blyth was the last of the family to live in the house, dying in 1753, after which his sons sold the house to a William Shore. The Blyth family subsequently moved to Birmingham. Notable descendants were Benjamin Blyth, Sir Arthur Blyth and Benjamin Blyth II. The house was subsequently let to a tenant farmer and his labourer, at which point the house was sub-divided into two dwellings.
In 1886 ownership passed to the Corporation (Sheffield City Council) and various recreation department employees lived in the house until 1974.
It is a Grade II* listed building and has been open as a museum since 1976, following a renovation funded by English Heritage and Sheffield City Council. The Sheffield Galleries and Museums Trust managed the building for some years until April 2011, when management of public opening, on behalf of the building's owner Sheffield City Council, was conferred to the Friends of Bishops' House. The building is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays between 10am and 4pm. In April 2012 Sheffield Galleries and Museums Trust stopped providing educational visits and the Friends of Bishops' House began opening the house to schools also. The displays in the house have had some recent small changes but are still curated by Museums Sheffield. The Friends of Bishops' House is a registered charity and limited company, run entirely by volunteers. The house contains exhibitions on life in the 16th and 17th centuries with two rooms decorated in Jacobean style.
The building is featured on the cover of local band Monkey Swallows the Universe's second album The Casket Letters.

Fondazione Prada presented the exhibition “Machines à penser”, curated by Dieter Roelstraete, exploring the correlation between conditions of exile, escape and retreat and physical or mental places which favor reflection, thought and intellectual production.
“Machines à penser” focuses on three major philosophers of the 20th century: Theodor W. Adorno (1903-1969), Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) and Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951). The latter two shared a life-long need for intellectual isolation: Heidegger spent long periods of his life in a secluded hut in the village of Todtnauberg in the Black Forest in Germany, whilst Wittgenstein retreated on several occasions to a small mountain cabin situated in a fjord in Skjolden, Norway. Adorno, on the other hand, was forced into exile from his native Germany during by the Nazi regime, first to Oxford and then to Los Angeles, where he wrote Minima Moralia, a collection of aphorisms that also reflects on the fate of forced emigration.

A Curate’s Egg
Three genteel taps with a spoon, and the shell
is decapitated, smeared with a slick of albumen.
I could insist on politeness, hold back my gorge,
mop up the noisome yolk with a slice of toast,
chew and swallow as I catch my breath, wash
it down with tea – but there is the rest of it
to consider. It will take four mouthfuls
at least. Strung out from within it, the twisted
rope of chalaza will dangle from my spoon,
and a clot of yellow will gloop its way down
the handle. Perseverance is a virtue. I weigh
it up against honesty, look greenly at the plate.
This breakfast is a parable: good in parts,
like life, like health, like love, like human hearts.
Poem by Giles Watson, 2013.
