The tuna auction at the tsukiji market is generally off limits for the public, when no one was watching, I stole a few shots (and was of course thrown out later), but it was so worth it, including the getting up at 4 am business... and for those of you who know me, that's a VERY BIG deal!
I used to live down the street from here. And part of it was chasing 5 Fulton (bus that goes downtown) to go to work. Hmmm, I wonder why the memory of chasing the bus sticks out. I could think of better and happier memories but I love the Bus chasing memory best. LOL

Yes, this is another spot in San Francisco that has been photographed a million times.
I found this post card in a box of old photos and ephemera.
It seems there were more than 51 Tuckers made and 3 of them ended up in Elgin Park!
I'll keep you posted on this developing story.

"Quando o sol se põe
Vem o farol
Iluminar as águas da Bahia
No Farol da Barra, o encontro é pouco
A conversa é curta, tudo é tão rápido como
se furta
Como a luz bate nas águas
Como tudo que se passa
Com tanto cabeludo, com tanto pôr-do-sol
Bem cabia uma profecia: até o ano 2000,
O Farol além do pôr-do-sol
será o pôr-do-som
Onde verás uma realejo, onde verás um violão"

I don't often see chickens, but this little honey was running around a local barn. I popped on five textures. Four from skeletal mess and I can remember where I got that post card texture. I downloaded it years ago...
....little man was not feeling well....but because of the excitment - people around him - he wants to come out and play....
Baby King for now Mikx -
My second fabric post card I have ever done. My first was earlier today. It was fun, but need to work on my sewing skills. I do like the raw edge I left on the edges, it gives it more texture. I like texture and color.
New York State Thruway

Dear Gloria & Dick
The next time you have a honeymoon, you'll have to take this trip. It is most beautiful country. We are on the last lap to Boston and Cape Cod. We hope to come back through the Adirondacks and see Lake Placid. We were going to go to New York, but the people around Albany where we stayed last night said the traffic is terrific and you couldn't possibly see it all in one week. So we are taking it slower and enjoying it rather than trying to see New York, this time.
Love Dot, Dan and Mike
Since the photo could be anywhere on the NY Thruway, here's a picture of where the postcard was sent to:

110 year old camera, 51 year old film, 16 month old home made developer.
Post Card format 3 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch negative. The picture is not important, this is a test of exposure and development of this old film from 1971. Kodak RAR 2490 rapid action film box speed about ISO 64. Shot at ISO 6 from Ansco 1912 #3A folding camera. Developed in 18 month old Kalogen developer about 1:90 dilution, stand developed for 60 minutes. Water stop, fixed with Ilford Rapid 1:4 for 4 minutes. All at about 70 degrees F.
Kalogen was originally a replacement for Rodinal in/during/after the first world war when Rodinal was not available in the US/UK. Instead of para-aminophenol as the primary developer, it is essentially synthesized from the metol in the formula. (I'm finding it to be more active than Rodinal in comparable dilutions)
Distilled water (50°C) .................. 750 ml
Metol ....................................... 13.5 g
Sodium sulfite (anhy) ................... 180 g
Hydroquinone ............................. 53.0 g
Sodium hydroxide ........................ 35.0 g
Potassium bromide ....................... 5.0 g
Benzotriazole, 1% ........................ 80.0 ml
Distilled water to make ................. 1.0 l
Obvious A LOT of chemistry but that is because it is a concentration. Rodinal is essentially para-aminophenol, Sodium sulfite and sodium hydroxide. So this is only slightly more complex.
Weigh out the Metol and sulfite. Dissolve a pinch of the sulfite in the water before adding the Metol. Dissolve the other ingredients in the order given. A precipitate will form upon the addition of the hydroquinone which will dissolve upon the addition of the sodium hydroxide.
Transfer the solution to a 1 liter glass bottle, stopper and allow it to stand for 2 to 3 days. A small amount of impurities will precipitate out and the solution will become lighter in color. Filter the solution and transfer it to several small (2 to 4 ounce) glass bottles and label. When prepared correctly the solution will be a clear pinkish tan color. (My first batch is slightly yellow clear and there is a mild deposit on the bottom. I shake it before I use it.)
After 18 months mine is still a bright straw yellow color.
When stored in nearly full and tightly capped small bottles, the stock solution will keep for months at room temperature. Should any crystals form due to storage at low temperature, they may be redissolved by warming and shaking the bottle.

My wife found this post card from Sep.14/1967 sent from Hastings NewZealand fromher good friend Roz Snijders. If you recognize this post card and would like to leave a comment it would be much appreciated. My wife's maiden name was D. Muise.

Pre-printed message on Canada Post Card reads - Please call for Parcel (by mail) to your address at Custom House, Victoria.
Malahat Building / Old Victoria Custom House National Historic Site of Canada - The Malahat Building / Old Victoria Custom House is a three-storey, mansard-roofed, brick building, built in 1874-5. It is located on a waterfront site, overlooking the harbour of the city of Victoria, British Columbia. As the customs house for Victoria from 1875 to 1899, the Malahat Building served the city's import and export trade during a time when Victoria was the busiest centre on the West coast. Mining licenses for the Klondike gold rush were administered here. Link to a photo of the Custom House - www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/image-image.aspx?id=4225#i1
On the back of this Canada Post Card is a very light strike of a double ring oval cachet marking in blue ink - most likely from the Custom House - with a date - / MAY / 5 / 1881 / VICTORIA / B.C. /

Well this was too much fun! Can you tell I'm on vacation and have absolutely nothing better to do than follow my heart into the sewing room?
What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words
Words in papers, words in books
Words on tv, words for crooks
Words of comfort, words of peace
Words to make the fighting cease
Words to tell you what to do
Words are working hard for you
Eat your words but dont go hungry
Words have always nearly hung me
What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words
Words of nuance, words of skill
And words of romance are a thrill
Words are stupid, words are fun
Words can put you on the run

Once again, my favorite tree. It was taken on a beautiful sunny day. The sky was blue, and the air was crisp. I thought I'd like to remember my tree on that moment. But my memory, with time, will probably look much like this.
Final upload for the year 2020. Post card for a friend in Canada. Made on Canson's 145 lb.white mixed media stock, using pen, ink and watercolor. This post card is 5.5 x 8.5 inches and goes through the mail nicely without being stuffed into an envelope.

Another post card from our family archive. I don't remember why I did not scan the back of this one.
Both of my grandparents went to the U. of I. in Champaign. So my hunch is they took the Illinois Central quite a bit.
I usually rode coach buses back and forth from the Chicago area when I went there. But once I took Amtrak. I was surprised how efficient the run from Champaign to Chicago was: fast and no time spent on sidings. In other words: very un-Amtrak.
