I often pass George on my drive to East New York, panhandling at a busy corner, weaving in and out of cars. Today I was walking, and when he saw me with my camera, he gave a big smile, stretched out his arms, and said "Take a picture of me."
Sixty five and originally from Puerto Rico, George lives in a homeless shelter not far from the intersection. He has been homeless for most of the last twenty years, having no family left in the states and a few run ins with the law. He messed with drugs long ago, but now he only drinks here and there.
When I asked him how he wanted to be described he said, "as everyone calls me, Anciano, or old man."

The Place Georges Pompidou in front of the museum is noted for the presence of street performers, such as mimes and jugglers. In the spring, miniature carnivals are installed temporarily into the place in front with a wide variety of attractions: bands, caricature and sketch artists, tables set up for evening dining, and even skateboarding competitions.

Originally a lot taller this statue of George 111 was too close to a nearby WW2 RAF bomber base's approach pattern. The RAF decided to blow it up to eliminate the danger posed to aircraft, the top section was recovered and placed in the grounds of Lincoln castle where this image was taken.

I didn't get to take too many photos this past December which was a real bummer. But one day, my wife accompanies me to Fort Lee where i wanted to take a specific shot in mind. It was approaching sunset, and i didn't have much time.
This bike was built by my good friend Sofi's dad, It's immaculate and I'm thankful that I had the opportunity to shoot it for his Christmas present.

George Francis Moutrey Hardwick (2 February 1920 – 19 April 2004) was an English footballer, manager and coach. During his time as an active player, he was a left-sided defender for Middlesbrough. He was also a member of the England national football team, playing in 13 international matches and serving as the team's first post-World War II captain.
In 1947, the nations of Great Britain joined together to form a football team, which Hardwick captained and led to victory (6–1) against the rest of Europe.
Owing to a knee injury Hardwick had to terminate his international career after 12 matches. He is held in high esteem by Middlesbrough fans, and is regarded as the greatest defender in the club's history.
After his career as a player, Hardwick served as player manager for Oldham Athletic and manager for PSV Eindhoven, and, from 1959 to 1961, the Netherlands national football team. He later managed Sunderland A.F.C. and Gateshead.
Today his legacy lives on in the form of The George Hardwick Foundation, a charity dedicated to helping carers, former carers and patients. The Patron is his wife Jennifer, who cared for George during his latter years. They have three main sites at Stockton, Middlesbrough and The University Hospital of North Tees.

My Love is playing with his new toy our granddaughter bought him for Father's Day..
Remember this guy, diagnosed with dementia and could not hardly do anything but sit in a chair and stare down..He was so sick and his wife was so very worried, but they both knew a God who would listen when they prayed....He has been absent from Flickr since 2012 becasue he wasn't able to be here..He lost 50 pounds and had so many things wrong with him, it seemed all hope was gone......But like I said we both knew a God.......OUR GOD...
I have put his camera in his hands so many times in three years, but this summer is different, he has now gained back all his weight and had to go off of blood pressure pills because his blood pressure is so normal.....I could go on about how he had to go off of other medicine's but it would be such a long story....I just want to Praise God and give him all the glory...
PRAISE GOD..
The last couple of days, he has actually wanted to hold his camera and guess what, he actually went to the back yard and sit with me.....I am so very blessed, WE ARE SO VERY BLESSED....
And we did put some of his pictures on....He is such a good photographer...God Bless His Heart..
He is so very proud of this picture...

It’s Christmas Eve, and like in all the movies, it’s snowing with many of our favourites having come out to watch the morning goods trundle through before they all head to the pub. What’s so special about this train, I’m not sure, but I needed to write something to establish today’s post.
And much to my surprise, and quite likely yours too if you’re a regular reader of my drivel, it would appear that Farmer George and Deidre Dinkle, flirty darling of the butter blending department have finally got together after all this time. Phew, it was getting rather tiresome, so, 1, 2, 3 … aaaarrrhhhh, bless.
You’ll notice that most are dressed to suit the weather, but not George or Deidre. But I’ve since found out, having never spoken to them until a short while ago, that they’re both from Yorkshire, so this is like summer. Readers and viewers of this post from the grim north, I’m sure will confirm that a coat, hat and scarf is just for those namby pamby bloody southerners.
To the left, Arthritic Arthur is struggling a little with his joints, but hopefully as soon at the train has passed, Deliberation Dave will guide him to the pub for a bit of boozy lubricant to loosen him up.
Posh photographer ‘Oh Dear Boy’ Ivan Locksmith, is standing next to Barry Bullhead with his back to us photographing the passing train on his trusty Rolleiflex. Barry for once is just enjoying the moment, but I’m sure will be back to his old ways at The Ministry of Misery as soon as the festive season is over.
Outside the pub you’ll notice a 3 wheeled Scammell ‘Mechanical Horse’, for Dizzie Lizzie’s latest job is dropping off ale to local pubs. Lizzie, as I’m sure many of you know by now, only hangs on to a job for a week or two, this being her 17th job since September. And if you look closely, it would appear that Neil is proposing to her, but it’s most likely that he’s just grovelling for something - the snivelling little tick. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him stand up to be honest. Anyway, Lizzie is married to an accountant with aspirations of becoming a lion tamer.
Local cad and ladies’ man, Terry Tuttle-Thomas-Smythe is stood next to his Triumph Roadster in his standard ‘Hello Ladies’ pose. Once Neil has scuttled away on all fours, Terry will turn his attention to Lizzie, hoping that a quick spin in his roadster she’ll find more appealing than watching hubby get chased by lions at the nearby zoo.
And finally, Hubert the conversational Latin speaking horse is giving Harry the Hammer some tips on how to swear in Latin for when he stubs his thumb - such a clever horse.

Calgary's newest foot bridge is open at last it was delayed by 1 year due to the floods. I can see this becoming a very busy bridge when the rest of the new park is opened.

The George Washington Bridge – known informally as the GW Bridge, the GWB, the GW, or the George – is a double-decked suspension bridge spanning the Hudson River between the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City and Fort Lee, New Jersey. As of 2016, the George Washington Bridge carried over 103 million vehicles per year, making it the world's busiest motor vehicle bridge.

How many cats that played with Charlie Parker, Lester Young, John Coltrane, Johnny Griffin, Gene Ammons and Richard "Groove" Holmes are not only still around, but still making music...still gigging...still having a ball...and still pushing themselves musically? My guess is very few. Here's one: The great jazz guitarist George Freeman. His late brother Bruz Freeman played drums with Hampton Hawes on the fabled "All Night Session" albums. His late brother Von Freeman is a tenor sax legend. His nephew Chico Freeman is a world-renowned multi-instrumentalist, composer, bandleader and educator. When Gene Ammons passed away in '74, Freeman decided to head back to Chicago to take care of his mother-a move he never regretted but one that clearly kept him from having the kind of fame and career he so deserved. Since his brother Von's passing in 2012, the 88-year-old George has experienced something of a renaissance. His latest album is "All In The Family" with nephew Chico, who says "I've heard him earlier (in life) playing a lot of notes, playing fast, and he could run through (chord) changes a lot. Now it's like pure – just pure expression of himself. There's no wasted notes in what he plays.The spaces he leaves are equally as important as the notes he plays".
George Corn Tassel (Utsi'dsata) Probably was the son of Cherokee Chief Old Tassel (1738 to 1788). Was a Cherokee (Tsalagi) man illegally tried, convicted, and executed by the State of Georgia on December 24, 1830. This led to the United States Supreme Court’s ruling in Worcester v. Georgia, which stated that the states do not have jurisdiction in Native American territories. In 1830 George Corn Tassel was charged with the murder of another Cherokee man named Sanders at Talking Rock Ford while under the influence of alcohol. Talking Rock (now Pickens County, Georgia) was within the Cherokee nation and 50 miles from Hall County. Since the Cherokee Nation was considered sovereign by U.S. law, Corn Tassel should have been tried in a Cherokee court. Corn Tassel was tried on November 22, 1830 in Gainesville, Georgia in Hall County's little 30x50 log Courthouse set in the center of town. A jury of 12 white men found Corn Tassel guilty of murder. Superior Court Judge Augustin Smith Clayton sentenced Corn Tassel to be hanged by the neck until dead. After he was sentenced to be hanged, his Defense counsel asked him how he liked the sentence. He answered that he would “rather go to his own country and be shot.” He was told that could not be done. “Well, then,” he said, “rather than be hung, I will go to Arkansas.” Corn Tassel's case was appealed and went before a “convention of judges" of Georgia superior courts, at that time the Georgia Supreme Court. The judges who denied Corn Tassel's appeal included Augustin S. Clayton (who had himself adjudicated Corn Tassel's case), William Law, William H. Crawford, William H. Holt, L.Q.C. Lamar, Charles Daugherty, C.B. Strong, G.E. Thomas, L. Warren, John W. Hooper, and H. Warner. At the request of Cherokee Chief John Ross, U.S. Attorney-General William Wirt brought up Corn Tassel’s appeal before the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court accepted the appeal and issued a mandate forbidding Corn Tassel’s execution. The Court also ordered the state to produce the records of the trial. They would also order Georgia Governor George Gilmer to appear before them in January 1831. Gilmer responded by calling together an emergency session of the state's General Assembly on Dec. 22, 1830. In that session, laws were enacted nullifying any contracts between Georgia and the Cherokee people. Governor George Gilmer refused the Supreme Court's demand for trial records and proceeded with Corn Tassel's hanging on Dec. 24, 1830. On Christmas Eve morning, Sheriff Jacob Eberhart took Corn Tassel from the Hall County Jail in an oxcart to gallows erected for the hanging two blocks south of the log courthouse in a field on the end of Collage Ave. between Main and Grove streets. In a story published in the Gainesville Eagle on May 11, 1888, an eye-witness to the event recorded …What a day; cloudy, dark, rain, hail and sleet through the entire day. Every road leading to the town was thronged at an early hour with men, women and children from all parts of the county and many from adjoining counties until a vast multitude had assembled to witness the death of a human being while suspended between heaven and earth. Other accounts state that Corn Tassel spoke with “great calmness” to those assembled for the event. Some three hundred of Corn Tassel's friends were on hand to bid him farewell…. The prisoner (who had ridden to the site sitting on his own coffin in the back of a ox cart ) was ordered by the Sheriff to rise and stand upon his coffin, on which for some time he had been sitting. The arms were tied down, the cap drawn down over the face, the ox cart was driven forward leaving the body suspended in the air. A few shrugs of the shoulders, a little drawing up of the feet, and all was still and within twenty minutes the doctors in attendance pronounced him dead. When he was cut down from the scaffold, his body was given to fellow Cherokees who buried him "several hundred yards away," the witness wrote. On this occasion a conflict was anticipated by the whites, and a strong guard was provided, but the Cherokee peaceably dispersed after Corn Tassel was buried. So distraught were some that they were said to have gotten drunk that night. One froze to death on Soapstone Hill, which is the present site of Alta Vista Cemetery. Corn Tassel's gravesite remains a mystery, but he is probably near South Bradford Street. This was brought on by the discovery of gold near Dahlonega Georgia in 1828, or the Dahlonega Gold Rush. Then came the Cherokee removal in 1838 that caused the death of Approximately 2,000 to 6,000 of the 16,543 Cherokee and is called ( The Trail of Tears ). In 1966, Gainesville, Georgia, held its first annual crafts festival named the Corn Tassel Festival. The name continued to be in use until 1993 when, after the shameful discovery of what the State of Georgia did to Corn Tassel, the name was changed, by the Gainesville Jaycees, to Mule Camp Festival after the Cherokee trader outpost of the same name which became Gainesville Georgia.
