An Ideal Husband
The present possibilities for humor in the plays of Oscar Wilde seem to lie almost entirely in the humor with which they are played. Somehow, the whipped-cream witticisms of the Wilde characters sound banal today, and the chief fun to be had from his stuffed shirts is in a sly spoof of their Victorian ways. Yet, for some unaccountable reason, Sir Alexander Korda has chosen to film the ancient Wilde play, "An Ideal Husband," as though its people were the most consequential of folks and its ridiculously old-fashioned problem as vital as atomic power.
It is hard to figure this blunder, for Sir Alex is a smart and urbane man whose humor has been in working order in his previous British-made films. And he has certainly put a lot of effort into this current job, now on the Roxy's screen. Yet, with all the solemnity and pomposity that even Oscar found supremely dull, he has turned out a handsome film in color with a conspicuously antiquated plot.
Believe it or not, Sir Alex—the gentleman, mind you, who made such previous charming pictures as "Vacation From Marriage" and "The Private Life of Henry VIII"—is here concerned with the story of a painfully righteous British Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs whose brilliant career and domestic happiness are suddenly jeopardized by a scheming woman's blackmail. And, as though this were not sufficiently trying as a subject for serious concern, he has included as an equally ponderous burden the Wildean sub-plot of a Victorian courtship between two young things.
Handled with elegant derision in both the acting and the camera's attitude, there might be some charming entertainment of a sardonic order in this old wheeze. But with Hugh Williams playing the blackmail victim in an insufferably stiff and artless way, with Diana Wynyard playing his good wife like the lady in "Cavalcade" and with Paulette Goddard playing the siren among a lot of stuffy English swells as though she were the gal who lived next to the firehouse, it fizzles with a dull, distressing plop. Michael Wilding's eccentric exercising of his elbows, his eyebrows and his jaw as the gay gent who makes most of the wisecracks is fantastic and painful, too, and Glynis Johns, Sir Aubrey Smith and Constance Collier fall in with the heavy furniture.
If Sir Alex had put into his treatment as much style as is in the costumes, as much flavor as is in the velvet settings, this film could have been—but why say more?

This Bit comes from when the Americans were filming their version of the play “an Ideal Husband”
A couple of newspapers picked up on it at the time.
The film was shot on several sites, including an Italian waterfront.
At the end of the week it was their custom to have a “wrap” party celebrating the end of the week’s shoot.
The ball scene had been filmed that day and most of the cast attended the get-together still in costume. This included 3 of the minor actresses who had bonded during the filming.
After the revelry was dying out, these 3 decided to go it alone, leaving the stage room to hit several of the bars and a casino located on the riverfront. Making a decidedly poor decision, they opted to wear the elegant gowns and shimmering jewelry they had donned for the stylish ball act( much of which was later cut from thye movie, including their roles) .
Needless to say the young trio of pretty actresses garnered a considerable amount of male attention as they made their rounds. They left their last stop in the wee early hours of the morning only to discover they taxi they had paid to wait for them had vanished. A dapper young man with a foreign accent that made the girls swoon came upon the young ladies, and after they explained their predicament, offered some aid. He invited them to a back room off a nearby alley to wait while he brought his private car around, suggesting that it would be a place of refuge to stay warm from the cool ocean air( only one of the actresses had a wrap).
About ten minutes after he had left them a masked man burst in brandishing a wicked looking blade. He demanded their ”jools” and “perses” than after receiving their valuables, had them strip down to their silky undergarments. He then bundled the lot and ran off. They could hear tires screeching off in the night. The dapper male never returned, and it was hours before their pitiful cries of help were heard by a passing vagrant, who after making sure they had nothing more of value, disappeared, than must have had a change of heart, for he summoned a patrolman to help them.
Two of the ladies had been wearing prop gowns and rhinestones, but the third, a minor relative of the New York Cabot family, had been waering her own designer gown(worth 2000 pounds) and her family diamonds( worth 55000 pounds sterling) So it was generally regarded that the ladies were scammed by a couple of professionals who had been out on the prowl for such prey, knew where to find it, and how to acquire her valuables.
Then, two weeks later another young lady, again unescorted, had decided to do a tour of the same riverfront establishments. She did so after attending a relatives wedding reception. She had met a rather handsome man while out drinking, and the pair had set off for a second bar when a masked man mugged them of their valuables. Including a 30000 lira ring she had worn, and 10000 Lira of other jewellery. Her friend dropped her off at the bar and went for help, disappearing in the night. Her description of the pair matched the ones who had robbed the Actresses.

from Left to right;
The illustrious Knight of Darkness.
Who has a black Captain Action body and boots. With Flash Gordon's gun.
The head and the suit being the new creation as of 1977. Obviously inspred by the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader.
Red then Blue Zeroids next.
Who are mostly based on the Zogg Zeroid who was included in the Zeroid Commander Action Set from 1969.
Differences being color. And Red and Blue have a little clear dome on top. Where Zogg had a rectangular head with six eye like holes. The right height for R2 D2 they are...
Then the green headed chromey robot is Zem- 21 . Which is the name for the original version of the Zeroid ship dubbed the Star Hawk for STAR Team !
He has a retooled JJ Armes body. Done up in a nice chrome color. Meant to be the C-3PO like character. With the chromed body .
Never had Red or the ship back in the day. ( Sold together ) But had the other 3. And loved them. Knight was my Darth Vader. As I never got a big scale version of DV :)

During the Covid-19 pandemic, many bars/restaurants are required by law to limit capacity limits of patrons, or utilize outdoor patio space if social distancing is not achievable inside. In spring of 2020, under Governor Tony Evers "Safer at Home" order, bars were required to shut down at the end of March through the end of May. These photos document this chapter in our city's history, some have been fortunate to make it through but for some this was the last call.

What is your idea of true beauty?
Mine?
Did you ever look at someone and think they looked beautiful or pretty?
Did you ever look at someone and think they looked ugly or unattractive?
Did you ever talk to these people?
When the beautiful one talked did they sound ugly with their words? They are unattractive
Did the unattractive one sound beautiful with their words? They are beautiful
I have been in a relationship with a good looking man. He awed me to no end in the beginning. When our relationship progressed, he started to become abusive. Cursing, hitting, spitting. You name it. He did it
He became ugly to me. I am talking about on the outside as well as the inside. He was no longer handsome, beautiful, attractive at all. All I saw was an ugly, vile person on the inside and out.
I met a man who I did not give a second look at. He did not attract me at all. He was quite plain. I forgot he even existed until we started to talk more often. The more we talked and smiled together, he started to look attractive to me. The kinder he was to me, the more attracted I was to him. I saw that his eyes were so blue like the sky. His smile made me giggle and feel safe. His body looked very warm and calming. He is the most beautiful man I know. I love to look at each and every line on his face, hands, and body. I catch myself staring at him time and time again. It is beautiful.
Beauty is how people's hearts work, not how they look. Beauty is on the inside and will show on the outside by how the person standing next to you treats another human, animal, flower, or anything on this earth. It is not your clothing, the size of your breasts, muscles, your wallet, the color of your hair, or any superficial thing like that. You can be beautiful!!! To me, you are beauty. I also love a smiling face. Who can resist a smile♥

Texture: "Rust Never Sleeps" by SkeletalMess
Quite old really this, but I guess I now know an awful lot more about Photoshop to enable me to get something decent out of it. A bit of a texture, some Gaussian Blur and you get something quite evocative. Looe is a really nice place for a break, should you ever wish to go and take a look at Cornwall. There were views there I'd happily spend the rest of my life looking at. Some way right was a house on the market at around £1m and it needed gutting from top to bottom to make it livable - what some people will pay for a harbour view.
I just got back two rolls from my Mamiya and I am so pleased with the way they turned out! It was torturous bringing that thing outside in winter, but definitely worth it.

View Large and on Black. Looks more like a painting, less like a photo. It's supposed to look like a painting, and "over processed".
Watch out, because she's gunna get you. Ok folks, here you go: The first of two insane edits, edited with Corel Painter 9.5. I was going for the "painting" effect. I'm very proud. I think It turned out amazing. If anyone wants to see the originals let me know. Also, my bone structure an everything like that: Not edited. I really do have those type of cheeks, and those lips, and that shaped nose, and those shaped eyes. I just don't have the light green irises, the platinum hair, or the flawless skin. Unfortunately...
Also, this is my alter ego. I really feel if I cracked my personal shell, I would be this daring, dangerous little kitten. Too bad, because that's just my Ideal. I'm far too happy-go-lucky/ real person to pull this off. Oh, only in my dreams. At least I can look it for now. That's the best part about photography: You can just be YOU.
After some comments: I would really like to know how people can rave about photos that are so over processed, like HDR photos, and other 'shopped photos, but when it comes to a photo turned painting (mind you a majority digital artists works this way) or EVERY edit of some woman, gets so much crap. How is adding a dosage of fantasy so horrible in comparison to the extreme edits of fashion photograph? I guess I'm beginning to rant, but I honestly do appreciate the opinions. I just wish people would approach this from a digital artist's P.O.V. rather than a photographers. And by digital artist I don't mean someone who does post processing, and editing, I'm talking about someone who creates art from a photo. What ever though.
PS: When rating photos, don't put something like ':) I like!' with a rating of 4/10. Just an example. It not only pisses me off, but it pisses off EVERYONE who gets ratings like that.
La, la, la. Sorry for the rant, I'm in a pissy mood...
Anyways I was going for something a little elf/ fairy/ nymph ish.
Here is the original. It was dusk out, so I just used the built in flash.
What makes an ideal Irish landscape? Well, it's not just the green hills and the rolling waves, but also the clouds, cliffs, sheep and a castle that add to the charm. The clouds are not just fluffy and white, but also sometimes grey and menacing, as if they are ready to unleash a storm of rain or hail. The cliffs are not just steep and rugged, but also majestic and awe-inspiring, as if they are guarding the secrets of the ancient land. The sheep are not just woolly and cute, but also noisy and stubborn, as if they are protesting against the intrusion of the tourists. And the castle is not just old and crumbling, but also grand and mysterious, as if it is hiding a treasure or a ghost. These are the elements that make an ideal Irish landscape, a place where you can experience both beauty and adventure.

I'm really falling in love with my Autocord TLR again.Too bad about that lens flare (as an old SLR guy, this always trips me up). Still, the amount of detail in the original 6x6 Provia transparency just tickles me to pieces. In the jumbo size note the sign-maker's badge, "Artkraft Lima Ohio."

In high school, I did the voice overs for their local radio commercials. I have a cassette of them somewhere....
This was the perfect way to end the trip; a couple of red SOOs crossing a river with some cows. It's sad to see these days are coming to a close, but I am glad I was around to document it. I wonder what the future holds for railroading, what new power we will see, and what new scenes will become available? One thing I do know is that as long as there are trains there will be rail fans to document them.
...well now with ten years of perspective, I think I can answer those questions. I guess I was a lot more optimistic about the future when I was 18. I also had my head way further up my ass. Ten years later, it's still there, just maybe not buried as deep. Since this was one of the few RAW images I have from then, I figured it was worth freshening up with a new edit.
The 1030 London Euston - Glasgow Central Pendolino, 1S52, is seen approaching Bodsbury Crossing on a lovely winters afternoon. Caught in sunshine and snow on the 13th February 2018 at 1418.
With the severe lack of Freight on this section of the WCML during the day, it had to be Pendolino's and 350 units to be photographed in the ideal weather conditions seen here.
