Part of my urban traces set.
Found photos, a lost life.
Photos found in a plastic bag at Waterlooplein flea market.
All photos in this set belonged to Willem Agathus Huygens, a Dutch artist who was born on June 24th 1914 in Poerwokerto, the Dutch Indies.
A life in a plastic bag.
If anyone knows more about this gentleman, his family or what is shown on the pictures, please let me know.
Note: I chose this photo, among the five that I uploaded to Flickr on the morning of Mar 30,2012, as my "photo of the day." I could not take my eyes off the giant sneakers the young woman was wearing. Unfortunately, the photo doesn't really show the rather bizarre tights that she was also wearing...
Note: this photo was published in an Mar 29, 2012 issue of Everyblock NYC zipcodes blog titled "10024."
**************************
This is the continuation of a photo-project that I began in the summer of 2008 (which you can see in this Flickr set), and continued throughout 2009, 2010, and 2011 (as shown in this Flickr set, this Flickr set, and this Flickr set): a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan -- between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue. These are the people in my neighborhood, aka "peeps in the 'hood."
As I indicated when I first started this project nearly four years ago, I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a zoom telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me. Sometimes I find an empty bench on a busy street corner, and just sit quietly for an hour, watching people hustling past on the other side of the street; they're almost always so busy listening to their iPod, or talking on their cellphone, or daydreaming about something, that they never look up and see me aiming my camera in their direction.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting -- literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep my camera switched on, and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture ... after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject. Indeed, some of my most interesting photos have been so-called "hip shots," where I don't even bother to raise the camera up to my eye; I just keep the zoom lens set to the maximum wide-angle aperture, point in the general direction of the subject, and take several shots. As long as I can keep the shutter speed fairly high (which sometimes requires a fairly high ISO setting), I can usually get some fairly crisp shots -- even if the subject is walking in one direction, and I'm walking in the other direction, while I'm snapping the photos.
With only a few exceptions, I've generally avoided photographing bums, drunks, crazies, and homeless people. There are plenty of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. There have been a few opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. This is one example, and here is another example.
The other thing I've noticed, while carrying on this project for the past four years, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed ... unfortunately, there was just nothing memorable about them. They're all part of this big, crowded city; but for better or worse, there are an awful lot that you won't see in these Flickr sets of mine...
When making notes for genealogy I enjoy my vast collection of color ink pens. When I change sources or persons being researched I reach in and grab another color to make the notes.
The window with the Coronation of the Virgin was donated around 1509 by count Philipp II of Virneburg (ca. 1450-1522/1525), who is depicted together with his deceased wives Johanna van Horne and Walpurgis von Solms-Lich, and St. George.
Philipp wears smooth armour without flutings, which was highly common in German lands during the first two decades of the 16th century, just before the Maximilian style became more prevalent in some regions.
There could also be a Netherlandish influence regarding Cologne's proximity to the area.
Do note that some parts of the armour seem to be a product of the 19th century restoration: the large tassets of Philipp's armour are not attached to his fauld but are worn under it. Maybe a mistake, or simply a strange original?
St. George is shown in a contemporary armour (note the decorated breast with the red cross) with some fanciful details, e.g. the shoulders, rerebraces and the rather strangely decorated jerkin. The couters, gloves and sword also seem to be a result of those later restorations.
In my humble opinion many parts of this window are honestly not that authentic anymore.
An SMT Leyland Titan parks kerbside in this vintage scene at Edinburgh's St Andrew Square. J56G had been new to SMT in April 1939 and joined others of this ilk at Dalkeith depot being used intensively on the Edinburgh/Birkenside/Rosewell group of services. With the arrival of Bristol Lodekkas at Dalkeith the Titan was placed on reserve duties and finds itself taking on a trip to Balerno via Slateford. Note its retention of the G suffix - the garage code for Dalkeith. The Titan was built by Leyland to TD5 specification with a 53 seat body lay-out which included top deck side-gangway and half-drop windows.
The nearside advert displays for James Calder's stout ale, although Calder's brewery was at Alloa most of the ale was supplied from John Jeffrey's Heriot Brewery at Roseburn, Edinburgh (later Tennent Caledonian). Seen to the rear is another Leyland decker but with a rather austere early post-war body by Alexanders of Stirling. J56 was eventually withdrawn from service and given over to the dealer in 1957 by which time most of these Titans had gone in favour of Bristols. Note the litter-bin in the foreground 'In your hands rests the cleanliness of Edinburgh' judging from the spotless streets we can see the slogan was respected!
Do you exploit your partner’s vulnerability? Or stand guard over it?

April 25: Day 38 of Project 365
I had a folder filled with random notes and ideas that I have accumulated for a couple years. Spent a few hours collecting them into a single notebook.
My Field Notes treasures sit for their portrait. On the far left is my much-loved, much-battered Texas edition; I covered it with tape to make it waterproof and used first-aid tape on the spine when I added new paper and needed to cover the staple prongs. What you can't see is that the pages are numbered, with an index on the front inside cover (tasks for home, wish list, grocery shopping, books to get, etc.) And the back inside cover holds a pocket for stuff! I am, alas, having to move on to the American Tradesman edition atop the Texas one, but I know I'll love it just as much.
