A view of the Mayors offices in London, taken on Ilford Delta print film 400asa and I made it look gritty and grainy on purpose and toned it blue to enhance all the effects, I love the angles, lines and curves in this!

The frontier Mayor of Fort Worth (A reenactor) poses during the 2019 Texas Fort Muster at the Stockyards in Fort Worth, Texas. The Texas Forts Muster celebration was created in 2001 to celebrate the heritage of Texas’ Frontier fort settlements, like Fort Worth. The Muster brings together authentic wagons, flags, music, colorful uniforms and military gear from several Texas frontier landmarks, as well as, re-enactors, musicians and other folks interested in Texas’ frontier history. The period of time covered by the celebration was the Texas frontier from the days of the early Republic in 1836, through the settlements on the frontier to the closing of the frontier by the late 1890s. I had a great time talking to re-enactors and taking photos at the event.

JAMES THE GREATER – (died 44 A.D.) – James is known by many different names and titles, including James the Greater, Boanerges (a nickname given to James and John meaning “sons of thunder”), James the Major and James the Elder. He was so named to distinguish him from James, the son of Alphaeus, who is known as James the Lesser.
James was an apostle of Jesus Christ and the brother of the Apostle John. Their father was named Zebedee. James and John were fishermen and were together, mending their nets, when Jesus called them to become His disciples (Matthew 4:21-22). James was the first apostle to be martyred. He would be put to death by King Herod who found that killing prominent Christians was a way to find favor with the Jews.
The Bible tells us that James was beheaded in Jerusalem. However, a legend grew that James was buried in Compostela, Spain and that his body had been discovered there. This would make Compostela the third most visited site on the pilgrimage trail, after Jerusalem and Rome. The great connection of James with Spain would lead to James being appointed patron saint of that country.
1. Because Compostela was such a major pilgrimage site, James is often depicted as a pilgrim. He is shown with a wide brimmed hat, walking staff, coin purse and a scallop shell. Scallop shells were used by pilgrims to scoop water from streams to drink as they traveled on their way.
2. Another symbol of James is the sword, referring to how he was martyred.

Basílica Catedral Metropolitana de Lima enfocada desde el Portal de Escribanos de la Plaza Mayor.
La primera Catedral se empezó por el gobernador Francisco Pizarro en 1535 y se tuvo por concluida en 1649.
El citado portal debe su nombre de Escribanos al hecho que desde lejanas épocas virreinales y muy entrada la república se acomodaban los escribientes para dar forma a los recursos, papelería judicial y edilicia; es decir, formaban un poderoso gremio -como no puede dejar de ser semejante oficio- que tampoco se excluía del epistolario popular. Aquella demanda de fines del SXVIII hasta las primeras décadas del XX, fue porque los tribunales tenían por sede Palacio de Gobierno, por la puerta lateral de la calle Pescadería, al igual que los ministerios; la Municipalidad de Lima estaba precisamente en ese portal.
