WOW. I just scrolled back through my flickr page to the very beginning and have been reminiscing on the community I joined here way back when..and all the ways it has shaped my life. I don't know if anyone still visits my page or really uses flickr in the same way these days, but if you do, know that all of you have impacted my life so much. I'm now a professional graphic designer and freelance photographer, using the software and camera skills I taught myself back when I was 13 and spent my days admiring the incredible art and technique of other flickr users. Flickr was my outlet and gave me the courage to to think of myself as a creative and to pursue a profession in the creative field. Oh, to think of how my life might have turned out differently without this community..! and to this day, nothing makes me feel more like myself than running through a field at golden hour with my tripod and camera.
identity: n. the condition of being oneself or itself, and not another
I can't understand why people want to try to steal my identity. We're all so wonderful and unique in our own ways. You may try to take my ideas, words, and mannerisms, but you can never take away how I came to be.

This is the key art for an upcoming adult series at Table Rock on Identity. The series is going to focus on who we are in Christ. The passage we will be keying off is 1 Peter 2:9-10. The finger print is going to be our concept for identity with the 7 sermon themes contained within the print.
Any comments/feedback is welcome.
Three-storey retablo, a distinctive nativity scene from Peru, seen in the Museum Würth during an exhibition of cribs from all over the world, Gaisbach, Franconia (Baden-Wuerttemberg)
Some backrground information:
Retablos are a sophisticated Peruvian folk art in the form of portable boxes which depict religious, historical, or everyday events that are important to the Indigenous people of the highlands. The Spanish word retablo comes from the Latin retro-tabulum ("behind the table or altar"). This is a reference to the fact that the first retablos were placed on or behind the altars of Catholic churches in Spain and Latin America. They were three-dimensional statues or images inside a decorated frame.
Retablos probably originated with the Christian knights of the Crusades and the Spanish reconquista (the 700-year struggle against the Moors on the Iberian Peninsula). The Christian warriors, who frequently found themselves far away from their home churches, carried small portable box-altars for worship and protection against their enemies. These earliest retablos usually featured religious themes, especially those involving Saint James, the patron saint-warrior in the fight against the Moors.
Retablos came to the New World as small portable altars depicting nativity scenes and other religious topics used by the early priests to evangelize the Indigenous. In a syncretic process, the early retablos brought by the Spanish merged with Indigenous beliefs in the Andean region to acquire certain magical or symbolic properties which had been the attributes of local spirits before the conquest. These early South and Central American retablos were wooden boxes with figures inside carved from stone, ivory or wood.
Later, retablos evolved to include daily scenes in the lives of the Andean people, such as harvests, processions, feasts, and tableaux depicting shops and homes. The use of wood for the outside box remained, but other materials, such as gypsum, clay, or a potato-gypsum-clay paste mix, were increasingly used for the figures because of their ease of handling and durability.
As you can see, the retablo in this picture shows the Nativity in its top floor. In the middle floor some kind of celebration is shown, with lots of female and male musicians playing traditional Peruvian instruments. And in the bottom floor, a hat shop is depicted. The hats there bear a close resemblance to the typical North American ten-gallon hats. The three-storey box is carved from wood, while all figures inside are made from clay. I guess that the whole ensemble has a height of 80 centimetres, which means that it’s definitely no pocket size retablo, but one that was perhaps used as some kind of home altar.
In the 1940s more and more artists were using retablos as a vehicle for affirming and recording the distinct identity of the Indigenous people of the Andean region. They are also a defense of Indigenous culture and values in the face of the modernization and the penetration of their culture by the one of the white Hispanic elites of Lima.
If you drive through the countryside of the rural district of Hohenlohe with its pastures and little villages in the northeast of the federal state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, you wouldn’t expect an art museum of international reputation being located in this area. However the museums Würth 1 and Würth 2 are and that has a particular reason: Both museums are attached to the headquarters of Würth Group, a multinational company and the biggest producer of screws in the world.
In 1954, the German billionaire Richard Würth took over a two-man business from his father at the age of 19 and made it a successful worldwide concern with almost 86,000 employees today. In the 70s, Würth began to collect art. Since then, he has collected roughly 18,500 works of art. His passion for collecting art even resulted in art becoming an important element of the Würth company culture. The most important works of art are made publicly available in altogether five museums of the Würth Group. All of them are freely accessible.
A Merry Christmas 2024 to all of you! Have a great festive season together with your families and friends!

66744 was renumbered from Colas's 66843, which was renumbered from DRS's 66408. At this point, I think this loco had been renumbered with a move impending, but not actually moved to GBRf, as it's still branded for Colas.

The uncertainty of their course is what makes good stories. And I am currently observing one of them with great interest. Eagerly and fraught with tension, I wait, unaware of what comes next. I still think about my performance in this play when turbidity takes me captive all at once.
The independent narrative slips my hands – how outgrowing.
I strive for victory to free myself from this greasy burden. But I feel so sated by emotions that I don’t know where to put all of this emptiness. No light in sight at the end of any tunnel – I am blinded.
At times, to be is not an easy thing.
How much power am I willing to give the other players? A silent partner who assigns authority. A passive member of my own story. Somebody that attributes more relevance to these people than they deserve. Who do they think they are?
They, them, the others – how dare I?
But yet time reveals true colors. Transience won’t let me run away forever. So it is bound to happen that I slowly catch up with reality, shaking off this self-chosen inheritance for a new performance.
Being is beautiful if we allow us room for change.
In 1975 the new West Yorkshire Metropolitan County Council and its Passenger Transport Executive, known as West Yorkshire Metro, issued a small brochure outlining the current situation soon after the formation of the PTE's direct operations and their intentions for the future. It covered topics such as aims and objectives, relationships with local authorities (the five new Metropolitan Districts) as well as the operational policies and future developments.
The brochure has some interesting period graphics showing the various modes of transport, the PTE and County's new logos as well as some of the uses of the new corporate identity and "Yorkshire Rose" logo. This page shows the new interlocking "WY" symbol, known as the Yorkshire Rose, and how it appeared on the new DoE standard bus stop flag that was being rolled out to replace the old individual operators versions that had existed prior to the amalgamation into the PTE's fleet.
I couldn't resist her any longer, so here is my new girl <3
She is sitting waiting for her new hair, eyes, body and identity. She found a friend already in the woods :)
Inspired by the phenomenon of expired potatoes sprouting.
Legging becomes sprout and skirt becomes potato.
3rd photo of my "No One Likes You When You're 23" self portrait series!
It was hard finding a paper bag that fit my head. The ones I had were either too big or too small. I ended up having to cut a large one to fit.
