The gravestone of George S. Bangs at Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago is in the form of a tree stump with this lovely little train sculpted in its base. The significance of the train is that George S. Bangs was possible for developing the country's first "fast mail" - railway postal service.
Shot with a Holga 120N using Ilford HP5+ 400 film and developed with Diafine. I love how this shot turned out - that Ilford film is a good one!
George Pettit- The Alexisonfire Frontman
This taken at Give It A Name '07
I talked my way past security so that i could get my 400D into the NIA, as you weren't allowed SLR in there without a photo pass, so i was very happy not only with the shot, but with the fact that i was one of the few who could have taken shots with an SLR that night
I like how the vibrant yellow lighting of the NIA has made the subject stand out,
I also like how the frontmans intensity has been caught in this shot, although Pettit is very intense at all times onstage, which doesnt make this shot a rarity, but it does guarantee a good shot each time i see Alexis in the future =]
These are the only amps George had on stage. In contrast, the guitarist for their opening band, some local glam-hard rock group, used six Marshall stacks when he played!

"Jane Waldie, afterwards Mrs. Watts (1793–1826), author, born in 1793, showed a taste for painting at an early age, and studied under Nasmyth. She painted many pictures, mostly landscapes inspired by the beauty of the scenery surrounding her home. The figures in three or four of them are the work of Sir Robert Ker Porter [q. v.] As early as 1819 she exhibited at Somerset House a picture called ‘The Temple at Pæstum’ (Addit. MS. 18204). Twenty-eight of her pictures were at Hendersyde Park in 1859, but many had been removed at the time of her marriage, and remained in the possession of her husband. In September 1816 she accompanied her sister Charlotte, with whom she has often been confused, and her brother John abroad, returning to England in August 1817. The result was a book entitled ‘Sketches descriptive of Italy in 1816–17; with a brief Account of Travels in various parts of France and Switzerland’ (London, 1820, 4 vols. 8vo). On 20 Oct. of that year she married Captain (afterwards Rear-Admiral) George Augustus (???) Watts of Langton Grange, Staindrop, Darlington (cf. O'Byrne, Naval Biography, p. 1260), where, after losing her only child, she died on 6 July 1826."

The tragic and unjust murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020 caused a tidal wave of anger, frustration, and action to address systemic police brutality and racism in our community, state, country, and world.
I'm embarrassed to say that this happened very near to my home. In fact, it took me well over a month to visit the memorial site where Mr. Floyd uttered his last words, "I can't breathe" at 38th & Chicago in Minneapolis, MN.
The pain and suffering are still apparent, but out of the ashes emerges a new feeling of activism and awareness. I can only hope that the energy around this tragedy leads to positive things.
