Washed with rain, pipes funnel each drop down to become a torrent weaving a barrier and urging stoppage and awe. Even within new surroundings this inconvenience issues forth a declination to participate. No longer can groups of people stand in silence to let time meld into collective thoughts of nothingness.

The Postcard
A Comic Series postcard published in the mid-1960's by Bamforth & Co. Ltd. of Holmfirth Yorkshire.
The artwork was by Fitzpatrick and the card, which has a divided back, was printed in England.
Bamforth & Co. (1870-1990)
James Bamforth began his career as a manufacturer of lantern slides. In 1890 he started production of illustrated song lyric slides that audiences could sing along to at shows. This quickly became his most popular selling item. In the years following, the Company became the largest producer of life model slides.
From this vast photo inventory Bamforth began to publish a variety of postcard types including comics, greetings, propaganda, real photos and views, but especially song sets, many of which were reproduced from lantern slide images.
Today they are best remembered for their series of saucy seaside postcards, which may have numbered close to a 100,000 different titles. While this series was begun in 1902, they did not become very popular until the 1930’s.
In 1906 Bamforth opened a New York Office at 35 West 21st. Street. By 1910 they had become a Limited company. The Company was sold to E. T. W. Dennis, but in 2000 the rights to their images were purchased by Ian Walker.
The snowpocalypse which has kept me from commuting to work the past couple of days also graced my eaves with icicles. Here is one of my favorite shots.
Same basic setup as this one. I'll post a setup photo of that tomorrow (or whenever I get around to it). Let me assure you, it's the poor girl's way. Some of the things I used was a napkin, tape, aluminum foil, a cardboard box, a lamp, my tripod, and my flash. Oh and a box of taco shells. Gotta have those, they held my lamp up, haha! I personally like the other one better, but I suppose I'll keep trying until I can get a macro lens! My top three lenses that I want is a Canon 100mm macro, a Tokina 11-16mm, and a Tamron 17-50mm. I have done extensive research on those lenses. I would love some L lenses, but I'll get them hopefully eventually! I also want some actual lighting, so if anyone has any suggestions on what to get (preferably kind of inexpensive as I'm on a budget), I'd be much obliged. I wish I was a billionaire because I'd be spending all of my money on camera equipment, basically.
