I met George while shooting on a crisp day of Winter at Cocoa Beach, FL. He was walking along the beach and entered my frame like an apparition just minutes after his son (who looked eerily like him) had come running past me on the shore.
George told me there was a flock of birds a little south of where we were on the beach and that I should go check it out. I didn't find that many birds there but I sure lucked out a little later at sunset on the west side of the Cocoa Beach strip.

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 Billington lock in early 1972.
George Billington lock, the first on the navigation when approaching from Evesham, was the third of the new locks to be built. It was constructed in November and December 1969, with the chamber completed and gates hung by the 15th December 1969. This new lock took the place of the lower Harvington lock, the remains of which can be found on the left bank a few hundred metres downstream. The water level up to Harvington lock is now controlled by the weir/ford that crosses from Anchor Meadow to the Fish and Anchor Inn, at Offenham.
Following the completion of the lock, a water main was lowered under the upstream lock cut and a bridge built to accommodate a right of way across Anchor Meadow. The remains of lower Harvington weir were removed in January 1970 and a substantial programme of dredging undertaken to provide a navigable depth above and below George Billington lock.
On the 30th May 1970 the first boat, Stan Clover’s tug Sharpness, navigated up to and through the George Billington lock, minutes after the downstream lock cut had been opened up to the river.
This photograph is one of a series showing the construction of the navigation works for two periods during the ‘restoration’. The first period covers May 1969 to the end of July 1970, during which time the first three locks; George Billington, Harvington (Robert Aickman) and Marlcliff (I.W.A.) were built. The second period was June 1971 to June 1972 which spanned the construction of Barton (Elsie & Hiram Billington), Luddington (Stan Clover) and Stratford (Colin P. Witter) Locks.
The Upper Avon from Evesham to a junction with the Southern Stratford Canal, in Stratford on Avon, was restored to through navigation by the Upper Avon Navigation Trust between 1969 and 1974, when it was formally re-opened by the Queen Mother. The navigation had been abandoned in the 19th Century and very little of the former navigation works remained. It was made navigable again by building nine new locks and three new weirs and by dredging a substantial length of the river to provide a navigable depth.

This is one of the nicknames that George has gotten. He is so inquisitive, and his eyes say so much. I had a fun little photo session with him today. Believe it or not he is sitting on our kitchen counter...oh the things photographers do :) I decided on this one for week 2 of 52 weeks for dogs, but I uploaded a few others to his set as well.

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 =]
St George, South Elmham St Cross, Suffolk
A large and rather austere church in a beautiful hilly setting. The church was substantially rebuilt by the Victorians, and refurbished in a High Church style. The writer Elizabeth Smart is buried in the graveyard.
St Cross is one of the Saints, a group of 12 remote and traditionally lawless parishes near to the Norfolk border. Each village is named after a Saint: eight are styled 'South Elmham', four are 'Ilketshall'.
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."

I thought I'd submit this to Mortal Muses since they're doing doors and windows right now. Not sure if this is the type of thing they were envisioning, but I really do like this shot.

Overlooking the Niagara River, Fort George was built between 1796 and 1802. This fortification served as the headquarters for the Centre Division of the British Army during the War of 1812, and played a pivotal role in the defence of Upper Canada. Fort George saw action during the Battle of Queenston Heights, was destroyed and captured by the Americans during the Battle of Fort George, and was reclaimed by the British seven months later.
The 41st (Welch) Regiment of Foot was an infantry regiment of the British Army, formed in 1719 and amalgamated into The Welch Regiment in 1881.
The 41st regiment served with distinction in Canada during the War of 1812 where it gained more battle honours than any other British unit during that period.
