Traveling along the Nile, these two rowed out to our cruise vessel, threw a line around the front of our boat, so their row boat could be towed along next to us, and then proceeded to sell their wares to the passengers.I love creative entrepreneurs. 20190108AlongTheNileDxoLr63

We visited Cleveland's West Side Market yesterday morning for some shopping. Of course, I had my camera with me. This is a photo of a young girl who was busily making small woven baskets for sale. By far, she was the busiest and most aspiring entrepreneur at the market.
For me, the best part of this photograph is the sunlight on the girl's hair. I also liked the intense look on her face as she worked so hard.
Frazier is my oldest nephew. He has just started his own company, Signature Clothing. His line consists of all sorts of apparel, and is pretty cool looking, so this pic was something I wanted to be a little different, cool and innovative, just like Frazier!
After Thanksgiving dinner, I did a couple of quick grab shots at the table of Frazier and his brother, Drake. Though this one wasn't bad as far as detail went, it was busy and needed some enhancement. As I looked at the image, I realized that some of the things that were popping up in the background actually played into who Frazier is. "Brawny" and "Hefty" describe his strength. He had gone through Police Academy, and trained hard, deciding afterwards that he wanted to go a different route, which may include being an Army Ranger. Frazier is a tough guy with a heart. He loves animals, and they love him, so the kitties that pop up bring that in. There are magnets on the fridge referencing faith and humor, both also are a big part of who Frazier is. So, I left the background, busy as it was, but decided to make him pop by doing a sketch effect on only him. I actually really liked it after I got done. It kind of highlights the drive my nephew has, and a good natured intensity and determination that he personifies.

Fellow Flickrite mpaulda was kind enough to send me some cameras to play around with this summer. Thanks Mark!

It's 1965 and my lifelong friend Martin and I are heading south along the Dalmatian coast in our Ford Anglia, towards Dubrovnik. Somewhere on the road between Opatija and Zadar (now in Croatia) we were waved down by these three boys, keen to sell us fresh figs.
We didn’t speak a word of each others’ languages, of course, but the boy on the right soon discovered that he and Martin shared the same name. Instant bonding and friendship for life, of course – well, for the next four or five minutes, at least – and then we were on our way again. Oh and by the way, the figs weren't so good, but the encounter was fun.
Photographically, time has taken its toll; this faded and bleached print was scanned from a 35mm colour transparency, sadly lost long ago.
A few other photos from that memorable holiday are here.
… Depuis la flambée immobilière, le prix des terrains à grimpé considérablement donc ils se sont lancés dans la construction en hauteur… Partout, nous voyons des tours à appartements qui semblent sortir du sol comme des forets de bétons… Ils ne sont pas les seuls car lors de ma première sortie en vélo hier, j'ai vu sur la piste cyclable que les Grands Pics-Bois semblent suivre cette tendance… Photo prise dans «Mon Studio à Ciel Ouvert»

Inscribed - "Very truly your friend / Lysander Spooner"
Lysander Spooner (January 19, 1808 – May 14, 1887) was an American abolitionist, entrepreneur, lawyer, essayist, natural rights legal theorist, pamphleteer, political philosopher and writer often associated with the Boston anarchist tradition.
Spooner was a strong advocate of the labor movement and is politically identified with individualist anarchism. His writings contributed to the development of both left-libertarian and right-libertarian political theory. Spooner's writings include the abolitionist book The Unconstitutionality of Slavery and No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority, which opposed treason charges against secessionists.
He is known for establishing the American Letter Mail Company, which competed with the United States Postal Service.
Early life - Spooner was born on a farm in Athol, Massachusetts, on January 19, 1808. Spooner's parents were Asa and Dolly Spooner. One of his ancestors, William Spooner, arrived in Plymouth in 1637. Lysander was the second of nine children. His father was a deist and it has been speculated that he purposely named his two older sons Leander and Lysander after Greek mythological and Spartan heroes, respectively.
Legal career - Spooner's activism began with his career as a lawyer, which itself violated Massachusetts law. Spooner had studied law under the prominent lawyers, politicians and abolitionists John Davis, later Governor of Massachusetts and Senator; and Charles Allen, state senator and Representative from the Free Soil Party. However, he never attended college. According to the laws of the state, college graduates were required to study with an attorney for three years, while non-graduates like Lysander would be required to do so for five years. With the encouragement from his legal mentors, Spooner set up his practice in Worcester, Massachusetts after only three years, defying the courts. He regarded the three-year privilege for college graduates as a state-sponsored discrimination against the poor (who could not afford to go to college), and viewed it as providing a monopoly income to those who met the requirements. He argued that "no one has yet ever dared advocate, in direct terms, so monstrous a principle as that the rich ought to be protected by law from the competition of the poor". In 1836, the legislature abolished the restriction. He opposed all licensing requirements for lawyers. After a disappointing legal career and a failed career in real estate speculation in Ohio, Spooner returned to his father's farm in 1840.
American Letter Mail Company - Being an advocate of self-employment and opponent of government regulation of business, in 1844 Spooner started the American Letter Mail Company, which competed with the United States Post Office, whose rates were very high. It had offices in various cities, including Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York City. Stamps could be purchased and then attached to letters, which could be brought to any of its offices. From here, agents were dispatched who traveled on railroads and steamboats and carried the letters in handbags. Letters were transferred to messengers in the cities along the routes, who then delivered the letters to the addressees. This was a challenge to the Post Office's legal monopoly. As he had done when challenging the rules of the Massachusetts Bar Association, Spooner published a pamphlet titled "The Unconstitutionality of the Laws of Congress Prohibiting Private Mails". Although Spooner had finally found commercial success with his mail company, legal challenges by the government eventually exhausted his financial resources. A law enacted in 1851 that strengthened the federal government's monopoly finally put him out of business. The legacy of Spooner's challenge to the postal service was the reduction in letter postage from 5¢ to 3¢, in response to the competition his company provided.
Later life and death - Spooner argued that "almost all fortunes are made out of the capital and labour of other men than those who realize them. Indeed, except by his sponging capital and labour from others". Spooner defended the Millerites, who stopped working because they believed the world would soon end and were arrested for vagrancy. Spooner spent much time in the Boston Athenæum. He died on May 14, 1887, at the age of 79 in his nearby residence at 109 Myrtle Street, Boston. He never married and had no children.
