This image is part of a continuing series following the unrest and events in Minneapolis following the May 25th, 2020 murder of George Floyd.
Yesterday on a short vacation weekend north on the California coast I was in 'serendipity mode' with a friend and we stopped at the right spot on the side of the road…George is a long-time practitioner of the Buddhist faith related to the a Northern California Buddhist community. We stopped along along a back road as we saw some deer and tried to photograph them [slight fail]. BUT, we stopped next to George’s car. He was on his day off and after greeting him he graciously let us into his back yard and gave us the background into his community. later we toured the retreat grounds with another member and it was a wonderful misty day along the coast–although very gray!
Yes, he blinked during this exposure, but, to me this image best portrays his warm persona he had as he guided my friend and I over hills to get a a good view of the Copper Mountain Temple of Odiyan in the distant hills. During this I took a few shots as he stood in front of the Stupa monument in his backyard.
Thank you George for sharing your time and story.
This image is #23 of 100 for my 100 Strangers Project. See more images by the other photographers from this project.
Went out yesterday with George who's from one of the dance schools!
Got some absolutely gorgeous photos of her and it's been horrible having the images stuck on the memory card for nearly 24 hours without having my laptop to edit them on 'cause it was at my dads!
Also, shooting George has been the first time that I've used the Mamiya to shoot in the outdoors! George will tell you that I was a little excited about it to say the least haha..just have to hope they come out all right when I have them developed.
And as well as that, it was the first time that I didn't take my 600D as a backup camera! GROWTH! (As Chandler would say..)
More will be up on my facebook page once they've finished being edited - www.facebook.com/ScottJacksonPhotography

The Church of St George (Romansh: Sogn Gieri), dating back to the High Middle Ages, belongs to the church parishes of Bonaduz and Rhäzüns. It is decorated throughout with Gothic frescoes by the Waltensburger and Rhäzüns masters. The visitor experiences the Middle Ages here in the truest sense of the word. The depictions on the choir and nave walls of the Romanesque church are a ”biblia paupera”. The pictures recount events from the Old and, above all, from the New Testament. The Waltensburger frescoes testify to a courtly culture, which is also documented by the knightly epics and Minnesang. Representations of torture in the legend of St George stand in contrast to elegant saints and courageous knights. There is no other interior throughout the Canton of Graubünden whose walls tell us so much about what was important in the Middle Ages.
It is considered the richest example of a completely decorated church interior of the Middle Ages in Switzerland.__Located at a remote location on a wooded hill above the anterior Rhine. The patronage festival goes back to the local legend, which tells how St. George did missionary work in the Grisons in the middle of the 4th century. At this place he leapt over the Rhine on his horse to escape pagan persecutors. Old parish, mentioned 960; evidence of a Carolingian hall church with stilted apse and walled, open (?) entrance courtyard found during excavations when restoration took place in 1961-1963. The present-day complex consists of a Romanesque nave with a flat ceiling and a transverse rectangular Gothic choir (the choir lies perpendicular to the nave) from the early 14th century with a cross rib vault. High Gothic wall-paintings by two artists. The earlier ones in the choir and choir arch by the Waltensburg Master ca. 1350, the newer ones on the walls of the nave by a Rhäzuns master from the 2nd half of the 14th century.__Choir: the ribs painted colourfully to simulate rich profiles. Intertwined leaves between four large medallions with angels as evangelists in the sectroids. Christ’s countenance on the apex stone; Annunciation in the tree vault shields, (flanked by the fox and stork from Aesop’s Fables), Crucifixion and the Coronation of Mary; a badly damaged Adoration of the Magi, row of apostles and benefactor couple under a bold meandering frieze with the coat of arms of Rhäzüns; St. Oswald and St. Nicholas in the window embrasure; pedestal drapery._ Three image bands with iconographically interesting, intertwined scenes of the miracle and passion of St. George on the wall under the merlon frieze: on the upper right King Dadianus shows the wheel and cauldron instruments of torture to the Saint, next to it the miracle of St. George, who causes branches to grow out of the house of a poor widow; below this the widow’s crippled child is presented to St. George, on the left the capture of St. George; on the upper left Queen Alexandria is hung by her hair, whipped and then beheaded after her confession to Christianity, while St. George is put into a cauldron of boiling lead as he prays for her; in the middle band of pictures the magician Anthanasios causes a demon to rise up out of a bursting steer; in the lower band the Saint is tortured, hung and desecrated, to the right of the choir arch he is decapitated; under the legend of St. George to the left is a Virgin of Mercy with kneeling benefactor and two women under the coat of arms of Rhäzüns: John the Baptist on the right above the masonry altar block; representation of the battle with the dragon on the north wall of the nave.__Nave: three bands of single images from the 2nd half of the 14th century by the so-called Rhäzüns Master along the longer walls and on the west wall. These distinguish themselves from the true form and carefully composed art of the Waltensburg Master by their linear and improvised representation of a type of pauper's Bible. Scenes in loose order from the Old and New Testaments that are kept strictly disconnected. Further devotional images on the north wall: St. Nicholas with the three virgins above; the so-called Holiday Christ, Gregory Mass, local legend of the St. George leaping over the Rhine, Archangel Michael as weigher of the souls, the death and burial of the Mother of God below.

George Chinnery (Chinese: 錢納利; 5 January 1774 – 30 May 1852) was an English painter who spent most of his life in Asia, especially India and southern China.
.
Chinnery returned to London in 1801 without his wife and two infant children. In 1802 he sailed to Madras (Chennai) on the ship Gilwell. He established himself as a painter there and then in Calcutta (Kolkata), where he became the leading artist of the British community in India.
By 1813 Chinnery was a freemason, listed as a member of Calcutta's well-to-do masonic lodge Star in the East. This was one of three masonic lodges in that city which took part in the official welcome for Lord Moira (1754-1826), also a freemason, on his arrival there (1813) as the new Governor-General of India.[1] Chinnery's masonic career is otherwise little documented, and its connection with his artistic output unexplored.
Some of his most famous paintings are of the Indian family of Colonel James Achilles Kirkpatrick British Resident to the Nizam of Hyderabad who had set up home, to some scandal among his fellow Europeans, with the Indo-Iranian great niece of the Nizam of Hyderabad's chief minister. He painted The Kirkpatrick Children presenting them " [with a] sympathy that is rare in portraiture of the period; the boy looking straight at the viewer with a self-conscious stance, hand on hip, while the girl looks uncomfortably at the floor." [2] Mounting debt prompted a move in 1825 to southern China.
From 1825 until his death in 1852 Chinnery based himself in Macau,[3] but until 1832 he made regular visits to Canton (now Guangzhou). He painted portraits of Chinese and Western merchants, visiting sea-captains, and their families resident in Macau. His work in oil paint was closely imitated by the Cantonese artist Lam Qua, who himself became a renowned portrait painter. Chinnery also painted landscapes (both in oils and in watercolours), and made numerous drawings of the people of Macau engaged in their daily activities.
At the time, westerners were restricted in their access to China, trading out of settlements in Macau and later Hong Kong, where Chinnery also went - His interest in the local scene does indeed set him apart from most western artists of the time.[4]
In 1846 he made a six-month visit to Hong Kong, where he suffered from ill health but made detailed studies of the newly founded colony. He died in Macau on 30 May 1852 and is buried in the Old Protestant Cemetery there.

Georges Coquet (1866-1916) was a French stage and screen actor. Coquet obtained his diploma of the Paris Conservatory in 1888. He first played classical stage roles, then moved over to vaudeville, and finally played at the Comédie-Française. After a first part in the Pathé thriller La main (1907), Coquet became a prolific Pathé actor between 1911 and 1904, mostly playing in comedies (e.g. those with Max Linder). He was married to Andrée Marly, who was twenty years younger than he, with whom he also acted together in a number of Pathé shorts such as Deux vieux garçons (Michel Carré, 1911), Le Vase brisé (1912), Serment de fumeur (Camille de Morlhon, 1912), and À la française (1912). In 1912 René Leprince directed Coquet several times, such as Le club des élégants and L'infidèle. Probably his last part Coquet had in the Gaumont comedy L'épreuve (1914), directed by Louis Feuillade and starring Renée Carl.

Altoona Tribune, Thursday, January 23, 1919, Pg. 8
Death of Geo. Anthony
George H. Anthony, born at Shelbyville, Indiana, January 28, 1842, died at the home of his son, Harry, five miles northwest of Altoona, last Sunday morning, January 19th, at 6:30 o’clock, age 76 years, 11 months and 21 days. Funeral services were conducted last Monday at the home by the Rev. J. R. Creamer, of the Altoona Methodist church. Interment was in the Altoona cemetery.
In 1862, Mr. Anthony volunteered for service in the Union army, Company A, 83 Indiana Regiment of Infantry. This regiment was a part of the troops operating along the Mississippi for the capture of Vicksburg. It was finally transferred down the river and disembarked below the city, where it formed a part of General Grant’s great army of advance on the historic Rebel stronghold. Mr. Anthony took part in the battles of Raymond, Champion Hills, Big Black River Bridge and in the advance on the city. In this latter he was shot through the left knee while on picket and was so badly wounded as to be put out of the service at once. He returned home in time and had not recovered from his injury when the war closed being unable to join the delegation bound to Indianapolis to welcome the comrades home from the field. When he finally became able to take up the thread of civil life, he engaged in farming as a permanent business, together with the handling of stock.
He was married in July 1865, to Jennie Alves. To this union one child was born, Mrs. Cora Cox, who lives northwest of Altoona. His wife departed this life November 4, 1866. In November, 1867, he was united in marriage to Lyda E. Lingo. Eight children were born to this union, four of whom are living. The young couple came to Kansas in 1869, locating in Greenwood county at what is now Quincy, and six years later came to Wilson county, which was their home until the death of Mrs. Anthony in 1905. In 1908, he was united in marriage to Henrietta Siler, of Fredonia, whose death occurred in August, 1916. They lived in Fredonia for a few years, or until her death, when Mr. Anthony returned to the farm, and has been staying with his sons since. Deceased had been a member of the I. O. O. F. lodge for over fifty years.
Mr. Anthony had enjoyed good health until a year or two ago, when he began to fail, although up until the day before he died he seemed to be in his usual health, and the day before he passed away, he walked to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Cox, and seemed to be in good spirits. Wednesday morning his little granddaughter went to his bed room to awaken him, but was unable to do so, and afterward when other members of the family entered the room, they found the old gentleman helpless. He had suffered a paralytic stroke during the night and never rallied, his life passing away Sunday morning.
George Anthony was a well liked man. Until age compelled him to retire from active work in politics, he was a leader of his party in Wilson county. He was gifted of speech and had a ready, forceful and convincing delivery in his public addresses. His fund of information regarding public questions was apparently inexhaustible and he was a leader in debates. He lived a long and useful life and reared an honorable and industrious family. He leaves to mourn his death, two sons, Harry and Edward, who live northwest of Altoona, and three daughters, all of whom were present at the funeral, except Mrs. J. D. Dunbar of Jena, Louisiana. He leaves a brother, D. D. Anthony, of St. Louis, a half-brother, C. B. Larabee, of Indiana, and many, many friends

and these are my great-great grandparents on the Watt side, in Glasgow -- i'm guessing the date to be about 1878, which is the year they were married.
George William Watt was born in Huntly, up in the northeastern corner of Scotland near Aberdeen, but as a young man he moved to Glasgow, where he trained to be an apothecary -- somewhere my dad has his training kit, a wooden box filled with mysterious powders and herbs...
he has something of a Tobey Maguire look about him here, doesn't he?

Minneapolis, Sunday September 12. A church had just finished an outdoor service across the street and their band continued to play. It's difficult to find words to describe the feeling of being there, in front of Cup Foods where Floyd was murdered -- terribly sad for starters.

Continuing my week of reasons to smile.
George was the top of my list ... he always makes me smile, even when he farts ... which he does quite a lot!
You'll notice he's not at all in focus & his tongue is still going ... I couldn't be bothered shooting another picture.
George McClellan was a lieutenant during the Mexican American War and a Union Major General during the Civil War. He was also the 24th Governor of New Jersey and a Presidential hopeful in 1864.
McClellan graduated from West Point academy as 2nd in his class in 1846 and was placed as a lieutenant in the US Army Corps of Engineers. In October of 1846, McClellan was sent down to the Texas Mexico border to serve under future president Gen. Zachary Taylor. McClellan would then serve under Gen. Winfield Scott where he would run reconnaissance missions missions while in Mexico. After the war, McClellan returned to West Point to rejoin the Army of Engineers.
At the beginning of the Civil War, McClellan sided with the Union and excepted a position as General of Ohio volunteers. In short time, McClellan would take command of the Department of Ohio which included giving him control of the armies in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, western Pennsylvania, and western Virginia. He would take control of the forces of western Virgina taking two decisive victories over the confederacy forcing them to leave the area. This would make McClellan a national heroe and help Virginia split into two different states.
In 1861, after the loss at the Battle of Bull Run, President Lincoln called for McClellan to take over that Army of the Potomic and lead them against confederate forces. McClellan, at this time, was second in charge to only Winfield Scott who was commander and chief of the United States Army. After taking over the army, McClellan saw different than what other Union generals saw and became very suspicious of everybody around him. He was one of a few generals in the United States Army who believed in slavery because it was written in the Constitution. He started refusing to explain his war strategies and kept them a secret from the likes of Major General Winfield Scott. Scott would hand Lincoln his resignation due to distrust among him and McClellan to which Lincoln would refuse. After hearing from sources that McClellan would resign for the same reason, Lincoln accepted Scott's resignation dur to health issues. This would make McClellan the Commander and Chief of the United States Army.
After taking command of the army, McClellan would be slow to attack the confederate forces around Washington. McClellan had become paranoid and thought the confederacy had around 150,000 troops stationed there while there was less then 35,000. Lincoln and his cabinet became very frustrated with McClellan and ordered him to the White House to force him to tell his strategy for attacking the confederacy. McClellan would do so in which Lincoln would order him to strike now. After more slow movement by McClellan, Lincoln was forced to remove McClellan from his duty as commander and allow him to only serve as General of the Army of the Potomic.
McClellan would lead his group down to Richmond, Va and onto Williamsburg, Va where he would chase Confederate Major Robert E Lee. While see victories in Virginia, Lee was able to escape McClellan each time. He finally tracked Lee down one lat time outside Sharpsburg, Md at the Battle of Antietam. However, McClellan came down with a fever and missed much war action so he was forced to rely on his men, but McClellan had still not given anybody his strategy. The Union would take the victory at Antietam but Lee still escaped. Congress put all blame on McClellan and Lincoln removed him from duty awarding General Burnside the Army of the Potomic and Ulysses S Grant as commander and chief.
In 1864, as Lee moved into Pennsylvania and Gettysburg, Lincoln and Grant tried to have McClellan reinstated into the army to lead a group into Gettysburg, but Congress refused the reinstatement. McClellan would turn his attention to politics where he would receive the Democratic nod to run for President in 1864. McClellan would run against President Lincoln and would support the continuation of war. His race was held up with inconsistency when Ohio congressman, George Pendleton, was chosen as his running mate. Pendleton was a peace time supporter and spoke out against the war. Lincoln would win the election easily at an electoral vote of 212 to 21 and a poplar vote of 55% to 45%.
In 1868, the democrats wanted McClellan to run again for President, but he refused when he found out Ulysses S Grant was running as the Republican. In 1877, McClellan was taken by surprise when he was nominated to run for the off ice of Governor of New Jersey even though he had never shown interest. McClellan accepted the nomination and won the election serving one term as the 24th Governor of New Jersey.
George McClellan passed away in 1885. He is buried at Riverview Cemetery in Trenton, NJ.
