The Canton Asylum for American Indians Cemetery was added to the National Register in February 1998 and is located in Canton, Lincoln County. Photographs from nomination.
The Canton Asylum cemetery is located on the Hiawatha Municipal Golf Course between the golf course club house and Canton-Inwood Hospital. The cemetery is significant for its association with the Native Americans and the Canton Asylum for Insane Indians. The cemetery was used between 1903 and 1934 for the patients of the Asylum. The Canton Asylum was the second federal institution for the insane, predated only by Saint Elizabeth in Washington DC which had been established in 1855. In the late 1940s the asylum was raised. The cemetery is the only remaining site associated with the asylum. The Canton Asylum Cemetery relates to the South Dakota State context is the areas of Depression and Rebuilding 1893-1929, under Civic Improvements and New Government-Related Structures and Sioux Era 1750 to present, under Government-Constructed sites and structures.
The asylum was established by Congress in 1899 and the Indian Appropriation Act of 1900 set aside $3,000 for land and $42,000 for construction of a building. Leading the charge to build the asylum was South Dakota Representative OC Gifford and Senator R Pettigrew. Because of its central location among the Western states, with large Indian populations and
because of the influence of Gifford and Pettigrew, Canton was chosen as the site for the asylum. One hundred acres were purchased a mile east of Canton on the hills overlooking
the Sioux River.
The first death occurred at the asylum on May 20, 1903. The superintendent notified the agent of the reservation where the patient had originally lived. After receiving no request to send the body home, he made arrangements for internment on the grounds. A section of land was reserved, and over the next thirty years it received the remains of patients from the asylum. The Bureau of Indian Affairs informed the superintendent that stone markers were unwarranted, so the graves were unmarked. On a chart hanging in the office, the superintendent recorded the name and location of each deceased patient. However in 1970, a complete burial stone with a bronze plaque was placed in the cemetery. Listed on the plaque are the names of 120 patients who had died and were buried at Canton during the thirty-two years of the institution.
To visit the cemetery, check in with the golf course clubhouse first.
For New Year in 2021->2022 I was blessed enough to spend the time in the simply gorgeous Moray settlement of Findhorn. A magnet for people across the country, it was a busy town for the New Year and with weather to die for and a still bay - I really found a new love for photography.

I shot these pictures for a Sierra Leonean Government PR book to celebrate the Organisation of African Unity all-Africa Summit held in Freetown in 1980.
Whilst they were all shot 35 years ago, the vast majority of the pictures still have important relevance today, and for various reasons.
The picture content here reflects the Land, the People and Government, the nature of Social Welfare, the expanding Infrastructure, the country’s Economics and something of the Provinces.
It is also an important archive due in part to the catastrophic Ebola virus that has tragically killed so many people in the West African region as a whole.
For unknown reasons, the newly constructed great blue heron nest has apparently been abandoned at the heron rookery in Metzger Farm Open Space in Westminster and Broomfield, Colorado. As noted in the previous photo, a pair of herons began building the nest about May 27, 2018. They made good progress and at least one heron was consistently at the nest. Both herons were seen at the nest in the morning on June 2, and one was at the nest at 5:30 that evening. However, the nest was empty on the morning of June 3 and has remained empty for several days.
As described in previous photos, a nest was built at this site (lower right in the tree) earlier in the year, but was abandoned after a severe windstorm. That nest disappeared over several days, probably from herons taking the sticks for another nest. Then a pair began building a new nest at this site, which has now been abandoned.
This leaves two nests with herons apparently sitting on eggs in this rookery.

For a "Bokeh" photo session, Lyon, France, on June 27, 2023, I used my 1971 Asahi Pentax Spotmatic SP fitting the Zenit Helios 44M-6 lens 1:2 f=58mm.
I used a color film Kodak Gold 200 and the 36-exposure film was exposed for 200 ISO. Exposures were determined using a Minolta Autometer III light meter fitted with a 10° finder.

After exposures the film was processed by a local lab service using the C-41 process. The film was then digitized at 24MP using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were then processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.

About the camera body :
This Asahi Optical Company (originally (旭光学工業株式会社, Asahi Kōgaku Kōgyō Kabushiki-Gaisha) SLR was sold to its first owner on December 11, 1971.
The ASAHI PENTAX Spomatic SP was produced in Japan from 1964 to 1971. This exemplary was sold to me on July 25, 2022 after complete servicing of the camera with the beautifully conserved user manual, the original international warranty card, and a booklet describing the ASAHI PENTAX system.
The camera is equipped with its original normal lens Asahi Opt. Co. Super-Takumar 1:1.8 f=55 (M42 mount), a ASAHI PENTAX Skylight 49 mm filter, the original shade hood in a small leather case, the neck leather strap and the body half ever-ready case only. The two CdS photoresistors are still operated by a functionnal circuitry that is not sensitive by conception to the voltage difference between the original mercury (1.35V) and nowadays available silver-oxyde (1.55 V) batteries. This simple circuitry operates only with the closed diaphragm and gives matching values to a silicon Minolta Autometer III lightmeter.
About the lens:
This Helios 44M-6 is the normal lens fitted of my KMZ Zenit 122 circa 1994. using the M42 mount is the multi-coated version 6 of the Helios 44M manufactured in 1997 at Юпитер, (Оптико-механический завод «Юпитер» , "Jupiter") Valday, Novgorod region.
My exemplary of Zenit-122 was produced in 1994 by the Russian company KMZ (Красногорский механический завод, Krasnogorskiy Mechanicheskiy Zavod) located in the Moscow region. Zenit-122 were also manufactured by BelOMO factory. From 1990 to 2005, about 2 millions of Zenit-122 were overall produced. The camera is built on the tough previous Zenit chassis and uses the same curtain Leica-type shutter with no slow speeds. The body is cased with ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styren) thermoplastic. Zenit-122 is equipped with a two CdS cells for light metering (25-400 ISO) using a LED indicator in the viewfinder.
For this assignment, I chose to emulate Paul Strand’s photographic style. First by capturing an image of an object seen on a daily basis and trying to make it stand out and appear as more than it is. Strand was also known for highlighting the shapes of his subjects with a close view. I tried to capture the many different boxes in the rebar web while taking the image restively close to the object. Strand’s photography also lacked tonality and atmospheric lighting which is seen in my photo. I feel like there is a nice pattern between each piece of rebar and the much lighter sky. The different colored rebar also creates a nice texture which depended on how rusted the pieces of rebar were. Some of the rebar begins at the edge of the photo, both top and bottom. I think this creates a nice effect along with the close and low positioning of the camera.

Back for more pie, taken on our second visit to the Park Cafe, whose motto is, "pie for strength". I don't know about that, but it is pretty tasty. Saint Mary, Montana.
For a couple of weeks, I'd been watching the Eastern Kingbirds (Tyrannus tyrannus) fly into and out of the Red-osier Dogwood (Swida sericea) at the southwest edge of Teal Pond, but I couldn't determine where their nest might be — until this day, when I saw one fly into this Gingko Tree. Another one also went there for a moment then left, but the first one did not leave, so I investigated.
And there was Mama Eaki sitting absolutely motionless (I thought) for the longest time. The slight raising of the crest was caught by the tele-zoom lens. I didn't notice it with my naked eye...

This will be my precious girls last photo into the group. Today I had to let my baby girl go. It was amazing how quickly the cancer was taking over her body.
Mooch was more than just my dog and pet. She was like my child. She was my counter surfer, bed hog, confidant, pizza loving, best friend. When I would get a migraine she could always be found by my side. Moochie took care of me as much as I took care of her.
Today I feel like a piece of me died with her. My heart is aching tonight. But I know that she is no longer in pain now. Prior to coming to me she had a rough life from being abused to being hit by a car. From her loving nature you would never know that she had been abused.
Rest in peace my princess.
for the geeks: here is some distagon bokeh.
Strobist info: 1 huge reflector on camera left, 1 on camera centre-right, both flashes shooting straight into them.

The phrase FGS FDS is actually a metaphor for the theory of how everything is put together. In the early days of our universe, an alphabet was made (let's call this the "universal alphabet". It consisted of 48 signs, and each sign told important information about how the universe is working. FGS FDS represents the first two signs of the alphabet. FGS is a metaphor for how the universe is put together, and FDS is a metaphor for how to use it this knowledge for your own benefit.
When the humans constructed their own alphabets, and started to read and write, the most important signs (the first two) of the universal alphabet were made into pictographs. Put together by letters in the human alphabet that was aesthetically similar to the signs of the universal alphabet. To help the mortal humans remember this important knowledge. But like most other important things, the real meaning of FGS FDS was forgot ages ago.
