This is Battling Siki from Senegal, World Light Heavyweight Boxing Champion, with his sparring partner, Frenchman Eugene Stuber. Siki (real name Louis Mbarick Fall) was in Dublin to fight "Bold" Mike McTigue (aka "Methuselah") who hailed from Kilnamona, Co. Clare. The two men are pictured outside the Claremont Hotel, Howth, Co. Dublin.
The fight was on Saturday, 17 March 1923 (St. Patrick's Day) at La Scala Theatre, Dublin. McTigue won on points.
Irish Times reporting on Monday 19 March was a little sniffy about the quality of the boxing:
"There was an almost total absence of those thrills and exciting incidents one is wont to associate with contests of such importance. Indeed, there was monotonous similarity about the majority of the twenty rounds; one man, Siki, doing all the leading - without, however, inflicting much damage - and the other boxing on the retreat. The black's bustling tactics were in striking contrast to those of his opponent, who, for the most part, met the fierce onsloughts [sic] of the burly Senegalese with amazing sang froid, and McTigue's wonderful defence and dexterity in avoiding punishment were object lessons in themselves."

[...]The Pew Research Center recently found that 40 percent of Americans think marriage is becoming obsolete. Another recent Pew study found that Millennials (people age 18 to 29) say they think being a good parent is way more than having a good marriage.
Once considered an imperative of sorts, traditional marriage is getting a second look—and research suggests that it may be coming up short. Instead of considering themselves to be happily married, some people are discovering that they're only "semi-happy," and their quest for fulfillment can lead them to extramarital affairs and divorce.
A semi-happy marriage is one of low conflict, low passion, and low satisfaction. "One minute, you love the stability and contentment. The next minute, you think it’s not the right marriage, and there are flaws in the marriage that are serious, even though there are also great things about the marriage," says historian Pamela Haag, author of "Marriage Confidential: The Post-Romantic Age of Workhorse Wives, Royal Children, Undersexed Spouses, and Rebel Couples Who Are Rewriting the Rules." In other words, "one minute you can't imagine staying, the next you can't imagine leaving," Haag says. "It’s these kinds of marriages that are 'low-conflict' but not all that satisfying that contribute the lion’s share to divorce court each year."
Her own 13-year-long marriage almost fit the bill. "Often, in my own case, I really can't tell if my marriage is woeful or sublime," she writes in her book. "Maybe I'm just so profoundly content that it feels like unhappiness, because nirvana is dull in this way, it lacks frisson." (She adds that she thinks her husband is "an amazing sport, and brave, to let me write about this topic of mixed feelings at all, even though a good number of husbands and wives have mixed feelings.")
Boredom can also cause major marital problems. A national survey of 3,341 people by advice website Good in Bed and Kristen Mark of The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction found that 25 percent of people are are bored in their current monogamous relationship, and another 25 percent admit to being "on the brink" of boredom.
“Boredom is basically like an attack on a relationship’s immunity system," says Ian Kerner, PhD, founder of Good in Bed and author of "Love in the time of Colic: A New Parents' Guide to Getting It On Again." "It’s not a coincidence that a fifth of respondents admitted to being unfaithful to their partner as a result of being bored."
While most of the women Haag interviewed said they felt lonely in their semi-happy marriages, men told her that they felt "trapped" or "penned in." It didn't seem to matter if they married "too young" or waited until they were older; what mattered was what people expected from their marriages. And for many, the traditional blueprint that their parents followed is simply no longer a good fit.
"It’s sometimes said that marriage is on the decline because our expectations are too high," says Haag. "I think it’s that our expectations for marriage may be too low—such that single people feel, perhaps rightly, that there isn’t much that marriage would add to their lives."
"My generation—people in their 30s, and 40s, and early 50s—are perhaps caught betwixt and between the old romantic ideals and the new post-romantic expectations," she adds.
Haag emphasizes the fact that she's a historian and not a marriage therapist, and says that she does not "endorse a particular marital style." In her book, she explores several suggestions for "forging a third way between melancholy persistence and divorce," ranging from slightly outside-the-box (rewriting your vows to more accurately reflect your life as it is now, for instance, or sleeping in separate bedrooms) to the extreme (redefining marriage as a temporary parenting agreement or giving the green-light to discreet extramarital affairs, among other things.)
Even so, people can still end up feeling only semi-happy. "There's a part of your soul that isn't nourished in marriage, and it's too big a part to live without," Haag writes. "You've tried, but you fear that you're in the wrong marriage, however wonderful your spouse may be."

There must be something magical about Disneyland. It was pouring rain before I entered the gates but once I stepped onto Main Street the rain stopped!

Partners - Spring 2016
March 17, 2016
A bright and sunny March morning, the flowers and trees surrounding Walt and Mickey are looking beautiful. It’s rumored that Walt didn’t want a statue of himself at Disneyland, or any Disney park. I do hope he’d be ok with this now, if he had gotten the chance to see it. Disney Imagineer and animator Blaine Gibson designed it and I think we all agree he got it right. Certainly one of the most photographed locations at Disneyland. Who doesn’t get a picture standing here under Walt’s watchful gaze?
“I think most of all what I want is Disneyland to be a happy place...where parents and children can have fun, together.” - Walt Disney

Went to visit my partner at work a few weeks ago and went in the Lorikeet aviary where these beautiful birds fly around your head and eat nectar from your hands. This is the under admired Dusky Lorikeet. Plenty of shots of the Rainbow Lorikeets in my camera, but I liked the cheeky look of this chap.

Of all the Disney shots in my stream, I think this is the first one of the Partners statue I've uploaded (well, first one where it’s the primary subject).
SOUTH CHINA SEA (September 26, 2019) Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Handling) Airman Carlos Gamble, from Atlanta, Georgia, directs an E-2D Hawleye assogned to Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 125 on the Navy’s forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). Ronald Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 5, provides a combat-ready force that protects and defends the collective maritime interests of its allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Tyra M. Campbell)
Something about this shot struck me. It's definitely the dream-like or other-worldly white background, and I think it really makes for an interesting story to the shot. As I was thinking up the caption, I thought of many different things I could write as to what Walt and Mickey are doing. Rather than 'spoil' the image by tying it to any one meaning, I will let your predispositions guide your own imaginations. What does it look like to you?
Oddly enough, I actually deleted this picture at one point. The white background was unintentional and is a technical shortcoming of the shot. Funny how you can look at something more and more and see something different (and how a shot that isn't technically perfect can be perfect to you). Now I really like the shot.

I was meant to be meeting up with a photographer/videographer friend of mine this evening to take some portraits of him with his £3k camcorder, but its raining.
Not just raining, its bloody pouring.
This is a photo of a Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens that was given to me by my partners family.
It belonged to her grandfather, who, like me, was an avid photographer.
It sits proudly on a shelf in my bedroom attached to a fully functional Canon AE-1.
View my other image from today on my Tumblr! and let me know what you think!

Stay tuned to Voidology's photostream for an Aperture version of the mechanoid.
Also, he deserves credit for helping me out with the shoulder connection on the automaton. VOIDOLOGY INVENTED THE SHOULDER CONNECTION. MY APOLOGIES FOR ANY MISUNDERSTANDING. THANK YOU.
It was 17 years ago today that the Partners statue was dedicated at the Magic Kingdom. It is my absolute favorite subject to photograph at Walt Disney World and I am always looking for new ways to capture it.
Have a great day!
Update: We posted over 20 photos of this great statue today on the Disney Photography Blog. View them by clicking here.
The incredible Soolmaz Abooali invited the ladies to train in Karate with her, and then have a wonderful conversation about what it means to be an empowered woman.
This is a shot I took, before I took the first "Partners" photo i posted. I think I went a little to electric with the HDR process on this compared to the first, I've been experimenting with some filters.
Please, I would love some constructive criticism. So leave some feedback.

My heros! Detective Little Inez and her partner, Officer AJ, solved the case of The BillyLlama's and my "Identity Theft."
After writing a check for a recent purchase at a major franchise, our check and driver's license information was used to totally wipe out our checking and savings accounts over the course of just a few days. Our gigantic banking institution failed to alert us when checks with the same numbers were being used more than once. The BillyLlama discovered it while viewing his on-line banking. The litany of huge corporate chains that failed to recognize the bogus checks and phony driver's license is unbelievable.
Stay tuned to see what happens to the perps and the names of the corporations involved...
