If you're ever in Paris head to Shakespeare & Co. I think I first went when I was 12 or 13, & when I bought a book there (Dorian Gray) they stamped the inside page with their logo. But not everyone thinks that's completely awesome like I do. They are no ordinary bookshop - oh, & I should mention that the majority of texts are in English, not French. I love the cluttered feel, & the piano was situated downstairs for ages, & I am so sure that upstairs used to be closed off. Maybe I just never ventured up there. But I did this time, & they have a party room (I am totally the type of person who would find a birthday party in a bookshop cool) & they were just tidying away from a kid's party. & they have sofas & beds to stretch out on & read for hours, & the piano has moved upstairs, & there was a little cubbyhole, big enough for a typewriter & seat. The wooden walls & ceiling of this cubbyhole were covered with notes, handwritten & typed, some folded up & some posted so you could read them without disturbing them. Most of them were in English, but written by people from so many different countries. The most common themes were love & heartbreak & moving on. I spent quite a while reading them.
Needless to say I loved it. This note stood out to me, so I took a photo. I handwrote my own note as the typewriter was out of ink, & I stuck it under the bar on your right as you sit down. It's on yellow Disney paper (because I'm awesome like that) & dated May 10th 2010. & then I photographed that too, so I didn't forget what I'd written. & it was a positive note. I'd say over the last 2 or so years there were odds on that I'd have written something quite sad, or maybe emo, but I really think I'm coming to terms with everything. Actually, it's making me tear up a teeny bit, but I really think I've come along way from my complete & utter meltdown in January/February. I'm sad that it got that bad, but I'm glad I've moved past it. & each day lately has been testament to that. I hope my note maybe makes someone feel less alone.

Divided reverse. Note Kasematten! "Neutrale Zeit." 17.-21.10.1916!
Near Kasematten Schlucht, Verdun. German stretcher-bearers bring back the body of a soldier killed in action in preceding days - weeks. The author of the note writes that this photograph was taken during a ceasefire between the 17th and 21st of October 1916.
Fighting at Verdun was savage, with both the French and Germans suffering huge losses. The action at Verdun for the October 1916 period was described as "Constant heavy artillery bombardment without any real offensive action."
using the car door as a tripod & shooting thru the driver's window w/engine running @ a stop sign while someone is waiting behind U so can't take time to change camera settings... causes a lil bit of 'lens shake' ☺

The lighting concept it the same, with few changes based on the tips from www.flickr.com/groups/strobist/discuss/72157675553881714/ to try and achieve a gradient white-to-black background.
Main light: YN468II in a small softbox (25x25cm)
Background light: Vivitar auto thyristor, behind the tracing paper background. There is a semi transparent flag and some bent sheets of paper to make the gradient.
Additional notes: Reflector at camera right, just out of the frame, to fill the shadow side of the white king.
Pullback shot of the scene is available at www.flickr.com/photos/147445314@N06/shares/U8eb48
Almost no postprocessing. Basic straighten/crop, dust removal, contrast, clarity and curves/levels only. All done in Nikon's Capture NX-D, my new RAW processing tool.
Mum's car. Note sticker from "Auto Performance" magazine, my addition to make it go faster! AP was, and probably still is, my favourite motoring magazine. It eventually 'merged' with Cars & Car Conversions, but its blend of articles on cheap/older fast cars, tuning and budget motorsports and the like didn't really get repeated.
The blue Cavalier was registered A209OTM (why do I need to remember that?) and belonged to a neighbour. Cartell says it was a 1.6 base model and DVLA that it lasted until 1995.
Put a little note on your state and let me know where you are. If you are out of the US maybe in a general direction
I put my Etsy screen name, name, and city, state in a note - I am sure we will get it all cluttered and that is fine
If you are unable to add a note - it must be because you are not one of my contacts, you can add me as a contact and then try it. The add note is right above Alaska there!
The original mid-13th-century Magdeburger Reiter (Magdeburg Rider, also Horseman of Magdeburg) is the main attraction of the Kunsthistorisches Museum. Further exhibits in this small local history and art museum include:
Banknotes from the hyperinflation period of the early 1920s, including a Billion Mark note (i.e. a million million marks) and a thousand mark note changed to a billion mark one through a simple red stamp.
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.

If anyone knows more about this gentleman, his family or what is shown on the pictures, please let me know.
This is just me, not the way I am choosing to show myself... like fake bloggers out there who write fiction. This is just who I am, I'm not sucking up to anyone.
Here is a picture I shot of my desk. Quite a mess I know. I added notes to describe some of the stuff you see on and around my desk.
.Elgar £20 note no longer legal tender
Have a look in your wallet: any £20 notes with the image of Edward Elgar on them will not be legal tender after June 30 this year.
This means that shops no longer have to accept the notes, and it is up to banks whether they agree to swap notes after this date.
From July 1 only notes with the image of Adam Smith, the Scottish economist, will be legal tender. These notes came into circulation in March 2007.
About 10 per cent of all £20 notes in circulation equating to 150 million notes, worth £3 billion are the old versions featuring the English composer. They were introduced in June 1999 along with a view of the west face of Worcester Cathedral, replacing the previous series of notes featuring Michael Faraday, the physicist, and before that William Shakespeare.
The Adam Smith design was introduced to cut down on forgeries. The new £20 design included more of the printed words raised and a greater number of flecks that show bright red and green under an ultraviolet light.
Old notes will eventually be sent to one of the official Government incinerators, where they will burned alongside damaged notes. A small amount of thermoelectric power is generated by these sites, which also burn illegal tobacco seized by HM Revenue & Customs at British ports.
After June 30 if a bank or building society refuses to swap a note, consumers have the right to swap the notes at the Bank of England itself. The Bank promises that it will honour the face value of any note issued, even notes from before the Second World War.

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.
