Phill Jupitus visited the brand new St Aubyn Library in Devonport.
You can hear Phill's introduction over at Audioboo.
This shows the entrance to the carpark, and includes the street number of the library. This photograph only shows part of the carpark. Quite a few people were walking to the library (and could be identified by the stack of library materials they were carrying).
This is Luis, the nice man who graces us with his presence most days at Boalt's library. I originally asked him if I could take his photo but he said no. Later, as I was saying goodbye to Homaira, he asked me to repeat what I had asked him, told me he didn't hear, and let me take his photo.
Photo Details: Same 85mm on the t2i.
I've gone back to no flash setting. I started off taking manual, then AV mode, now i'm on auto settings. Sad. And either way, I focused on his hand instead of his eyes. I always forget that's the one important rule of portrait photography: focus on the eyes. I'm always so nervous about taking people's time that I sometimes mess up the shot. Oh, well, part of the learning process.
nrhp # 73001920- Shepherdstown Historic District-
The Shepherdstown Public Library is located in a unique historic building that began its life in the summer of 1800 as a market house. Two days a week the bell rang out to bring in shoppers with their large baskets to buy fresh produce. This original use is linked with the revived Sunday Farmer's Market located behind the library.
In 1845, the local order of the Odd Fellows petitioned the Town Council for permission to build a second story meeting room, with a secure roof, five windows to each side and an outside stairway. The wooden plaques on the front of the library, restored in 1995, were installed at the time.
The building subsequently was used as a hospital after the Battle of Antietam, as a fire hall, a Council room and a jail before the Shepherdstown Woman's Club began a small volunteer library here in 1921, in the bottom floor of the building. The upstairs children's section was opened on Easter Monday, 1963.
Alabama City is now a section of Gadsden. The library was constructed in 1920 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Bennett Public Library, built in 1881 by Mrs. Eleanor Bennett, is located on Concord Road, on the common in Billerica Center. After the town declined her offer of the building as a library for Billerica, the Bennett Public Library Association was formed to oversee its operation. Dues were collected to cover operating expenses and its rooms and the basement were filled with books. The library thrived and it filled an important role as Billerica's cultural and meeting center. It was also the home of the towns library collection until 1980.
The library, or sitting room, where we added a beadboard ceiling over the old, cracked plaster (covered in a popcorn finish), along with refinising the floor and tiling the fireplace surround.
Library Manager, Enzo Accadia, welcomes everyone to the Library's 50th Anniversary morning tea event at Coffs Harbour Library.
