The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration contacted me and requested that they can use one of my images for an article on the drought in South Eastern Colorado. A subject very near and dear to me. While the article focuses on Rocky Ford, Co the image was taken far to the North outside the little town of Keota, CO. This image depicts the start of a sandstorm and within 20 seconds of taking this pic visibility was down to nothing.
I took screenshots of the article for vanity reasons but if you are interested in reading the full article here is the link:

Walking around during Vivid we came across this decorated pair.
They were stepping rythmically across the cobbled streeet, clicking their heels together on completing each step.
The result was remarkably like a clock ticking...

I came across this article in the The Wall Street Journal, with a predominant photo display of my work during a Miami Marlins game, almost by accident. Eventually I would have received the report from the agency.
I have countless tear sheets of published photos and captions in news articles. Somehow this was special. Being the WSJ such a prestigious publication I feel honored to have my photo capture chosen for publication among so many professionals that covered the injury incident of Mike Trout during the game.
This is a screen capture of of a section of the online article.

Fighting the Flames and Fighting the Hun.
The Work of Vancouver Firemen
Fire Chief John Howe Carlisle retired 1925, worked 42 years 1857 - 1941
Vancouver, British Columbia, all Canada may well be proud of such. an Honor Roll as is seen on another page; a record of noble service and sacrifice by gallant firemen.
Not only on the battlefield is heroism shown. Long before they went to France and Flanders the gallant men who fought the Runs had done deeds of dering do in fighting the flames, worthy of the Victoria Cross, and while they were away their comrades who “tarried by the stuff”, as some of the Hebrew warriors had to do, have shown that peace hath victories no less renowned than war.
Chief John H. Carlisle, dean of Pacific Coast Fire Fighters, is proud of his men, proud of those who had to stay at home as be is proud of those who followed the flag to the field of battle. Three of the chief’s sons saw service in the Canadian Expeditionary Force, as well as his son-in-law, while his daughter was a V.A.D. in that admirable institution, St. Dunstan ‘s Hostel, for blinded soldiers and sailors.
Born in November, 1857, and raised on a farm near Hilisboro, N.B., John Carlisle, obeying the edict of Horace Greeley, came West as a young man. After a few years in Idaho and Seattle the call of his native land lured him and in 1886, before Vancouver was incorporated, he landed here. The city was then a place of wooden buildings and the population in the neighborhood of 2,000.
That year, as is well known, the disastrous fire which wiped out the entire community happened and the need of fire protection was more than ever emphasized. When building had again commenced, a start was made along this line and a small engine and two hose-reels were ordered from the East. The brigade at this period consisted of 50 of the leading men of the town who volunteered their services. A form of training in the prevalent methods was instituted and two years later a paid fire fighting force was commenced. Today, from that small beginning, the fire department of the city numbers 180 men and 30 pieces of motor fire fighting apparatus, ranging from chemical wagons for small confined blazes, to high-pressure engine and water towers for handling fires which reach larger proportions. in this respect it is interesting to note that Vancouver was the first city in Canada and within the first five cities on the entire cont inent, to have motor apparatus. This distinction is solely due to the pre-vision of Chief Carlisle, who in 1906 rendered a report to the City Fathers recommending the purchase of motor machines. Realizing that the day of horsedrawn vehicles was fast passing, the Chief having regard for the peculiar situation and topographical features of the city, saw that to promote efficiency, which ever had been his watchword, the speediest method of getting to a fire was necessary. That idea inculcated in the minds of the men under his command has for years borne fruit, but is perhaps better exemplified by watching the careening wagons as they hurtle along the thoroughfares when the siren has been sounded.
Fire Chief Carlisle has fought over 10,000 fires. He looks back on his life-work with pride, and it is with a light and fire in his eye, as well as a tear, that he looks at the Honor Roll proudly displayed in the Fire Hall, showing how nobly Vancouver firemen responded, as ever, to the call of duty.

Zoom.nl and Nikon "I AM DIFFERENT" video about my light art:
For over 250 years the spa baths known as White Wells have looked down upon Ilkley. They were Britain's first Hydropathic Spa for a cold mineral water treatment which was valued by Victorian medicine. In 1859, Charles Darwin 'took the waters' in these buildings while his world-changing book On the Origin of Species was being published. The spa is still in use today, and takes the form of an indoor plunge pool fed directly with fresh water that springs from the moor. It gets *really* cold in there, and the locals have an annual ritual on every new year's day when the spa is opened up to let brave and foolhardy folk test their mettle in the ice-cold pool.
The weather was wonderfully clear on my way up the valley but had turned into a blizzard as I descended again. Visibility was only about twenty feet ahead and I was pleased to see the faint light of White Wells appear before me out of the grey squalls of snow. A kind samaritan inside the building opened the door and invited me in for a couple of minutes so I could ensure the camera was dry and safely packed for the remainder of the walk!

Something from yesterday's trip to the greenhouse. Thanks to Rona for such a nice display in our Metro section!
This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 15th of October 1915.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images please comment below.

The Postcard
A postally unused Sovereign Series postcard. The card was published by Prescott Pickup & Co. Ltd. of Allscott, Telford, Salop, England. On the back of the card they state:
'A series of 60 postcards.
Illustrated souvenir album
£3'.
The series features images of the Royal Wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer on the 29th. July 1981, and also various scenes both prior and subsequent to the event.
The card was printed in England.
The Wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer
The wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer took place on Wednesday 29th. July 1981 at St Paul's Cathedral in London. The groom was the heir to the British throne, and the bride was a member of the Spencer family.
The ceremony was a traditional Church of England wedding service. The Dean of St Paul's Cathedral Alan Webster presided at the service, and the Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runcie conducted the marriage.
Notable figures in attendance included many members of other royal families, republican heads of state, and members of the bride's and groom's families. After the ceremony, the couple made the traditional appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
The United Kingdom had a national holiday on that day to mark the wedding. The ceremony featured many ceremonial aspects, including use of the state carriages and roles for the Foot Guards and Household Cavalry.
Their marriage was widely billed as a 'Fairytale Wedding' and the 'Wedding of the Century'. It was watched by an estimated global TV audience of 750 million people.
Events were held around the Commonwealth to mark the wedding. Many street parties were held throughout the United Kingdom to celebrate the occasion.
The couple separated in 1992, and divorced in 1996 after fifteen years of marriage.
The Tragic Death of Diana, Princess of Wales
Diana, Princess of Wales died after a high-speed car crash at the age of 36 on the 31st. August 1997 at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris.
When Diana married Charles, she was a naïve yet hopeful young woman seeking true love. But by the time she died, Diana was jaded, bitter, and impossibly scarred by her disastrous marriage and being hounded by the media.
Twenty years after Princess Diana's funeral, people recall the iconic moments, from the sea of flowers and mementos left outside Kensington Palace to the heart-breaking image of Prince William and Prince Harry walking behind their mother's casket.
Diana’s younger brother Charles, the ninth Earl Spencer, held nothing back during his funeral oration. Funeral attendees may have been expecting a tearful remembrance of Diana’s life. Instead, they felt the full brunt of her brother’s fury at those he felt were responsible for her death.
In paying tribute to his sister, the 9th Earl Spencer reportedly angered the Queen and created a rift in the royal family that has only begun to heal in recent years with the births of Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
What Charles Spencer said in Westminster Abbey is as follows:
Charles Spencer's Funeral Speech
'I stand before you today, the representative of a family in grief in a country in mourning before a world in shock.
We are all united not only in our desire to pay our respects to Diana but rather in our need to do so.
For such was her extraordinary appeal that the tens of millions of people taking part in this service all over the world via television and radio who never actually met her, feel that they too lost someone close to them in the early hours of Sunday morning. It is a more remarkable tribute to Diana than I can ever hope to offer her today.
Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity. All over the world, a standard bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a very British girl who transcended nationality. Someone with a natural nobility who was classless and who proved in the last year that she needed no royal title to continue to generate her particular brand of magic.
Today is our chance to say thank you for the way you brightened our lives, even though God granted you but half a life. We will all feel cheated always that you were taken from us so young, and yet we must learn to be grateful that you came along at all. Only now that you are gone do we truly appreciate what we are now without, and we want you to know that life without you is very, very difficult.
We have all despaired at our loss over the past week and only the strength of the message you gave us through your years of giving has afforded us the strength to move forward.
There is a temptation to rush to canonise your memory, there is no need to do so. You stand tall enough as a human being of unique qualities not to need to be seen as a saint. Indeed to sanctify your memory would be to miss out on the very core of your being, your wonderfully mischievous sense of humour with a laugh that bent you double.
Your joy for life transmitted where ever you took your smile and the sparkle in those unforgettable eyes. Your boundless energy which you could barely contain.
But your greatest gift was your intuition, and it was a gift you used wisely. This is what underpinned all your other wonderful attributes and if we look to analyse what it was about you that had such a wide appeal, we find it in your instinctive feel for what was really important in all our lives.
Without your God-given sensitivity we would be immersed in greater ignorance at the anguish of AIDS and H.I.V. sufferers, the plight of the homeless, the isolation of lepers, the random destruction of landmines.
Diana explained to me once that it was her innermost feelings of suffering that made it possible for her to connect with her constituency of the rejected. And here we come to another truth about her. For all the status, the glamour, the applause, Diana remained throughout a very insecure person at heart, almost childlike in her desire to do good for others so she could release herself from deep feelings of unworthiness of which her eating disorders were merely a symptom.
The world sensed this part of her character and cherished her for her vulnerability whilst admiring her for her honesty.
The last time I saw Diana was on July the 1st., her birthday in London, when typically she was not taking time to celebrate her special day with friends but was guest of honour at a special charity fund-raising evening. She sparkled of course, but I would rather cherish the days I spent with her in March when she came to visit me and my children in our home in South Africa. I am proud of the fact apart from when she was on display meeting President Mandela we managed to contrive to stop the ever-present paparazzi from getting a single picture of her -- that meant a lot to her.
These were days I will always treasure. It was as if we had been transported back to our childhood when we spent such an enormous amount of time together -- the two youngest in the family.
Fundamentally she had not changed at all from the big sister who mothered me as a baby, fought with me at school and endured those long train journeys between our parents' homes with me at weekends.
It is a tribute to her level-headedness and strength that despite the most bizarre-like life imaginable after her childhood, she remained intact, true to herself.
There is no doubt that she was looking for a new direction in her life at this time. She talked endlessly of getting away from England, mainly because of the treatment that she received at the hands of the newspapers. I don't think she ever understood why her genuinely good intentions were sneered at by the media, why there appeared to be a permanent quest on their behalf to bring her down. It is baffling. My own and only explanation is that genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum. It is a point to remember that of all the ironies about Diana, perhaps the greatest was this -- a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was, in the end, the most hunted person of the modern age.
She would want us today to pledge ourselves to protecting her beloved boys William and Harry from a similar fate and I do this here Diana on your behalf. We will not allow them to suffer the anguish that used regularly to drive you to tearful despair.
And beyond that, on behalf of your mother and sisters, I pledge that we, your blood family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative and loving way in which you were steering these two exceptional young men so that their souls are not simply immersed by duty and tradition, but can sing openly as you planned.
We fully respect the heritage into which they have both been born and will always respect and encourage them in their royal role. But we, like you, recognise the need for them to experience as many different aspects of life as possible to arm them spiritually and emotionally for the years ahead. I know you would have expected nothing less from us.
William and Harry, we all cared desperately for you today. We are all chewed up with the sadness at the loss of a woman who was not even our mother. How great your suffering is, we cannot even imagine.
I would like to end by thanking God for the small mercies he has shown us at this dreadful time. For taking Diana at her most beautiful and radiant and when she had joy in her private life. Above all we give thanks for the life of a woman I am so proud to be able to call my sister, the unique, the complex, the extraordinary and irreplaceable Diana whose beauty, both internal and external, will never be extinguished from our minds'.
The Postcard
A postcard published by E. A. Sweetman & Sons Ltd. of Tunbridge Wells. The image is a glossy real photograph. and the card has a divided back.
It was posted in Croydon on Tuesday the 5th. June 1956 to an address in Burton Road, Littleover, Derby.
In addition to the address and message written in ink, someone has at some stage written in pencil:
"Britain in the 50's. Paradise Lost".
Were they being sarcastic, or did they express what they truly felt? I'm inclined to think that they meant it.
The area in the photograph is now a virtual racetrack, with very large numbers of vehicles jostling for position as they manoeuvre their way round the one-way system.
Purley
Purley is an area of the London Borough of Croydon. It was part of the county of Surrey until 1965. It is located south of the town of Croydon, and 11.7 miles (18.8 km) south of Charing Cross. It had a population of about 14,000 in 2011.
Aviation
Kenley Aerodrome, to the east of the town, was one of the key fighter stations - together with Croydon Airport and Biggin Hill - during the World War II support of Dunkirk, Battle of Britain and defence of London.
Suburban Growth
Purley grew rapidly in the 1920's and 1930's, providing spacious homes in a green environment. Northeast Purley stretches into the chalk hill spurs of the North Downs.
Promenade de Verdun
One road, Promenade de Verdun, created by William Webb, has a distinction all of its own. It is 600 yards (550 m) long and has on one side Lombardy poplars planted in local soil mixed with French earth specially shipped over to the UK.
A plaque at one end of the road explains that the French ministry of the interior donated the soil from Armentières, as a memorial to the alliance of the Great War and the soldiers who died.
At the other end stands an obelisk carved from a single piece of stone with the inscription:
"Aux soldats de France morts
glorieusement pendant la Grande
Guerre".
Purley in WWII
The 32nd. Surrey Battalion of the Home Guard was known as the Factory Battalion, and had the specific task of guarding the Purley Way factories: its units were mainly based on staff from the individual firms.
The factories adjoining Croydon Airport took the worst of the air raid of the 15th. August 1940: the British NSF factory was almost entirely destroyed, and the Bourjois factory gutted, with a total of over sixty civilian deaths.
A comprehensive history of Purley and its growth around Caterham Junction (now Purley Station) with the coming of the railways some 150 years ago is found in the Bourne Society's 'Purley Village History' and in its Local History Records publications.
The Webb Estate
The Webb Estate made headlines in a 2002 survey, which found that it had over the years attracted the highest-earning residents in the UK. In the same year Purley topped Britain's rich list, becoming the most affluent suburb.
Purley consistently features among the most affluent suburbs in Britain owing to its exclusive gated estates, large houses and greenery, yet it is less than 30 minutes from central London by train, thus attracting wealthy city workers.

Elvis the Pelvis
So what else happened on the day the card was posted?
Well, Elvis Presley sang Hound Dog on the Milton Berle Show in the United States.
Although this was not Elvis's first ever TV appearance, this was the performance where he was to drive the audience wild by shaking his hips.
The next day the press went into overdrive, ostensibly appalled by his suggestive gyrations and naming him "Elvis the Pelvis".
This performance stands out as one of the greatest moments of his singing career.
