My first magazine cover! Woot! This is for the Greater Houston Partnership magazine Here is Houston. For someone who lives mostly in the digital world (even with her film) it's so wonderful to see my work in print and especially on a cover. Makes me almost feel like a real photographer. You can see the original photo here.
Description: Program published for the 1987 Ingleside Invaders baseball team. The programs were self-produced by the team under direction of their head coach Dan Harrington, with help from assistant coaches and other community members. Mr. Harrington has given his approval to the San Francisco Public Library for these publications to be reproduced here on Flickr in digital format. Mr. Harrington has written a description of these publications and the Ingleside Invaders baseball team..
"The last of the Sandlot League teams in San Francisco is the Ingleside Invaders, the only team to sign up in 1990 for the 18-and-under division of SF Rec-Park Baseball, the direct descendent of the Sandlot League known in the 1980s as the Neighborhood League. (I don't know when the Sandlot League started, but it is thought to have its origins before 1900).
"The Invaders ball club was a successful representative of the neighborhood, with players from many public, private and parochial high schools chipping in small amounts of money (no more than $25), getting to keep full uniforms; businesses donated funds (except for the Marines who still owe me fifty bucks!) while receiving ad-space for the team's self-produced publications showing stories about "the Greater Ingleside" history and contemporary times to the rest of San Francisco. The Invaders made some life-long friendships and fielded some good baseball teams!
"My recently passed father Richard Harrington took many of the photos, while my brother Richard Jr, who passed away in 1998, compiled some stats and kept book for many of the games. The 1986 paper stock was provided by the Coca-Cola bottlers on Bayshore Blvd. and printed by the team, complete with a team picture in the relatively new light rail vehicle (LRV) "streetcar" yard off Ocean Ave.
"Ingleside finished second in 1986, 87, and 88. Ingleside was surprised in a playoff game in 1989. But it did give the best example of multiple schools represented on the same summer team and a model to use for the RBI Baseball and Softball program run independently by Dan Harrington (calling in lots of favors for help) in 1997 at Crocker-Amazon and Balboa Park, and in conjunction with City College baseball courses (John Vanoncini) and Columbia Park and San Francisco Boys and Girls Clubs from 1998 to 2010."

• Jim McKenna is a multi-instrumentalist and composer.
• Members of Jim's family, Daniel McKenna and Ann Callahan, had emigrated to Boston during the Irish Famine (An Gorta Mór) in 1850 (Armagh) and 1852 (Ballygiblin, Cork) respectively. Daniel McKenna and Ann Callahan were married in Boston (Charlestown) on October 1, 1854. Daniel and his brother Neil were two of the five founding members of the American Society of Hibernians in Boston on March 17, 1857; incorporated March 27, 1861 (later merging with Ancient Order of Hibernians). This organization was formed "for the purpose of rendering assistance to the sick and disabled members of their society, and also of providing for the decent burial of the dead". Jim's great great uncle from Drumkeeran Ireland, Thomas McPartlin, performed traditional music on the banjo in Boston during the late 1800's. Jim great great aunt, from (Ballygiblin, Cork), Bridget Callahan (buried at New Calvary, Mattapan) married Daniel Murphy (Galway) in Boston Nov 5, 1876 at Holy Cross Cathedral, Boston (Dedicated on December 8, 1875). Bridget Callahan stayed in Ireland until she was 21 years (born about 1851-1852).
• Dr. E. Moore Quinn wrote on the subject of the Irish Famine: "...a recently composed pipe lament by Jim McKenna entitled, 'Bridget O‘Donnel: A Victim of Famine'.

The Postcard
An Artistique Series postcard that was published by the Inter-Art Co. of Florence House, Barnes, London SW13. The artwork was by A. A. Nash, and the card was printed in Great Britain. The card would have been published during the Great War as a morale booster.
It did come right in the end, but too late for the vast numbers of men and women (and children) who died in the conflict.
The card was posted on Monday the 25th. November 1918, two weeks after the end of the Great War. It was sent to:
Miss Babie James,
Agra Ville,
Kings Road,
Fleet,
Hants.
The message on the divided back was as follows:
"I know a little girlie and
her name is Babie-Boo,
and I think she loves her
Daddy and her Mummie,
Tootle Loo.
For Dear Babie, with heaps
of love and sweetie kisses,
From Daddy and Mummie."
A Ceasefire at Abercorn
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 25th. November 1918, General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, commander of German forces in German East Africa, signed a ceasefire at Abercorn, Northern Rhodesia.
His was the last German force to end hostilities in the Great War.
Philip Streczyk
The day also marked the birth of Philip Streczyk. He was a technical sergeant in the 1st. Infantry Division of the United States Army during World War II.
Streczyk was born to Polish parents Andrzej "Andrew" Streczyk (born 1876 in Austria-Hungary) and Marya (born 1886 in Austria-Hungary). Streczyk was a native of East Brunswick Township, New Jersey. He had nine siblings.
Streczyk quit school in eighth grade to help support his family, working as a truck driver until he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1940 at the age of 21. Streczyk was able to speak Polish and German, and used this ability during D-Day.
-- Philip Streczyk and D-Day
Streczyk is famous for being one of the first men off the beach at Omaha Beach. He served in the 1st. Infantry Division under Lieutenant John M. Spalding.
Streczyk and his men helped make the D-Day breakthrough at Omaha Beach possible. His platoon landed on the Easy Red sector, and made it to the shingle embankment largely intact, unlike most of the first wave.
However instead of attacking up the beach exits, as was planned, Philip instead helped to find and clear a path up the mined bluffs, left of Exit E-1. Streczyk courageously exposed himself to intense enemy fire and utilized antitank grenades to silence two enemy guns, thereby enabling his unit to continue its advance.
Once at the top, he attacked the enemy fortifications from the rear, clearing out trenches and pillboxes along Exit E-1 and taking prisoners.
He was able to interrogate several of the Ost battalion POWs because he spoke fluent Polish, German, and English. Later on D-Day, he was involved in actions further inland.
For his actions on D-Day, Streczyk was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and Great Britain's Military Medal. His company commander later called him:
"The greatest unsung
hero of World War II".
He saw action in five other major battles during World War II, including Tunisia, Sicily, and Hurtgen. He was awarded the Silver Star four times. His six theaters earned him six Bronze Stars.
One of Philip's children, Ron Streczyk later recounted:
"After D-Day, during the Normandy fighting,
one of Tech Sergeant Streczyk's men was
severely wounded in a firefight.
The stricken soldier's jaw was gone and he
begged for death. The sergeant obliged,
and put him out of his misery. Later he felt
guilty about it."
-- Philip Streczyk's Subsequent World War II Service
Streczyk continued to fight through Normandy, the Mons Pocket, Aachen, and finally the brutal Battle of Hürtgen Forest. In total, he logged 440 days of combat.
During the Battle of Hürtgen Forest, Streczyk reached a breaking point. He shook uncontrollably and babbled incoherently to the point where he had to be evacuated from the front lines with a suspected case of combat fatigue.
His case was so severe that he needed to be evacuated to the United States Army General Hospital, Camp Butner, in the United States. In an interview with a journalist during his convalescence, he called his unit:
"The best platoon
a man ever had".
He was subsequently discharged from the U.S. Army. His Distinguished Service Cross was pinned onto him by Dwight D. Eisenhower on the 2nd. July 1944. Field Marshal Montgomery also personally awarded him the British Military Medal about a week later.
-- Philip Streczyk's Post-War Life and Suicide
Streczyk became a builder in Florida. He married Sophie Karanewsky, and they had four children.
Philip had frequent nightmares, and was in persistent pain from the physical and emotional wounds he sustained during his time in combat. This ultimately led to his suicide at the age of 39 on the 25th. June 1958, a delayed casualty of the horror of D-Day.
Philip was laid to rest at the Church of Religious Science in East Brunswick, New Jersey. The church is no longer active. The cemetery is on private property and not easily accessible.
Philip's brother John and their father Andrew are also buried there.
-- The Traumatic Death of John Spalding
Philip's commander John Spalding also came to a traumatic end. On the evening of the 6th. November 1959, Spalding’s wife shot him with a brand-new .22 caliber rifle.
The bullet entered his left side below his ribs, tearing his aorta, and he bled to death on the bedroom floor of their modest one-story home. Spalding, a hero of history’s greatest invasion, was dead at the age of 44.
Video link of this episode is below. Old pic I have that I forgot about. This was in Sturgis, back in '05 when we were filming for a video about Sugar Bear. I ended up being in the video a bit more than I thought. The show was called "American Biker".
Anne of Green Gables is a bestselling novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery published in 1908. It was written as fiction for readers of all ages, but in recent decades has been considered a children's book. Montgomery found her inspiration for the book on an old piece of paper that she had written at a young age, describing a couple that were mistakenly sent an orphan girl instead of a boy, yet decided to keep her. Montgomery also drew upon her own childhood experiences in rural Prince Edward Island. Montgomery used a photograph of Evelyn Nesbit, which she had clipped from New York’s Metropolitan Magazine, and pasted the framed clipping on the wall of her bedroom, as the model for the face of Anne Shirley, the book's main character. Montgomery also found inspiration in the "formula Ann" orphan stories, the Anns without the e. Other characters, like Gilbert Blythe, were modelled, in part, on real-life characters. Montgomery wrote the novel in the twilight of the day, sitting at her window and overlooking the fields of Cavendish. Since publication, Anne of Green Gables has sold more than 50 million copies. In addition, this book is taught to students around the world.
Taken for Our Daily Challenge .. Paper. I'm rather proud of this paper. This is Our Maine Street Magazine with one of my pictures. OMS contacted me asking for permission to use one of my photos to accompany a story by an Amish man telling the story of his family's move from NY state to Maine. They mirrored my photo and applied a fresco effect. A very high quality magazine.

ShadowDance, Kunsthal KAdE, Amersfoort.
Groepstentoonstelling met werk van meer dan dertig internationaal opererende beeldend kunstenaars, die een fascinatie hebben voor het effect van schaduw.
'ShadowDance' is a group exhibition featuring work by more than thirty visual artists, all operating on the international art scene and all fascinated by the effect of shadow.
The project Save Manhattan is a reflection on the disaster of September 11, 2001. It consists of three separate pieces, Save Manhattan 01, Save Manhattan 02 and the final version Save Manhattan 03 which is being presented for the first time at the Venice Biennial in 2007. Save Manhattan 01, 2003-04, was composed of a variety of books all of which were written following the events of September 11th, except for the two copies of the Koran. The books are arranged on a table such that a light projected from a distance, creates a harsh outline of the pre 9/11 Manhattan skyline against the wall behind. The two books of the Koran create the spectral image of the twin towers.
A light is projected to create a sharply defined shadow of the pre-9/11 skyline of Manhattan. Here the viewer enters into the space and passes in front of the light, thereby becoming a part of the installation and as such they have inserted themselves into a part of history. This work is determined and constructed by this newly found culture, events and experiences. One cannot regard this installation with the same eye as before because we are all the heirs of a post September 11th world. The story told through this work can be interpreted like the Trojan Horse of our times, through the subtle manner in which the shadow briefly renders this intangible structure, tangible.

Lo spettacolo
Un’affascinante fusione della tradizione di oltre 3000 anni di arte acrobatica cinese con l’approccio multidisciplinare del Cirque du Soleil, Dralion trae ispirazione dalla filosofia orientale e dalla sua infinita ricerca di armonia tra umani e natura. Il nome dello spettacolo deriva da due creature emblematiche: il drago, simbolo dell’Est, e il leone, simbolo dell’Ovest.
In Dralion i quattro elementi che governano l’ordine naturale prendono forma umana. Ogni elemento è rappresentato dal proprio colore evocativo: l’aria è blu, l’acqua è verde, il fuoco è rosso e la terra è ocra. Nel mondo di Dralion le culture si mescolano, Uomo e Natura sono una cosa sola, e viene raggiunto l’equilibrio.
CAST
Dralion features 50 members in its performance troupe, of which about 5 or 6 play principal characters.
Azala (air): The goddess of air who is dressed in blue, keeper of the sun and the guardian of immortality.
Gaya (earth): The goddess of earth, dressed in ochre.
Océane (water): The goddess of water, dressed in green.
Yao (fire): The god of fire, dressed in red, who is both good and evil.
L'Âme Force: The show's singers who symbolize harmony between the four elements.
Kala: Represents the heart of the wheel of time, making time evolve.
Little Buddha: The chosen child who possesses powers that will eventually allow him to become an Âme-Force, but dreams of being a regular child.
Dralions: Mythical creatures inspired by the imagery of the Chinese lion dance and dragon dance.
Clowns: The clowns manage to push this otherwise harmonious universe slightly off-kilter.

The Significance of Black Cats
There are more black cats than any other color because the black gene is most dominant for felines.
Over the centuries, these dark, handsome, and friendly felines have been associated with cultural and historical myths, superstitions, and tales that make them either revered or feared.
Here are conflicting superstitions relating to black cats:
-- Black Cats Are Witches in Disguise
If you're spooked when you see a black cat, it’s probably from medieval folklore that continues to shroud the reputation of these dignified kitties. Black cats have long been associated with witches and witchcraft.
It's said that the story began when a black cat was seen running into a house thought to be inhabited by a witch. During the Middle Ages, black cats became equated with black magic.
Roaming nocturnal black cats were thought to be witches in disguise, witches' pets, or animal-shaped demons sent by witches to spy on humans.
From the early 13th. century in Europe through the 17th.-century Salem Witch Trials in Massachusetts, black cats were killed. Black cats have evolved into icons of anything related to witchcraft, especially during the Halloween season.
-- Black Cats Are Bad Luck
A black cat is also associated by some people with bad luck, and even death. This fear of black cats appears to stem from medieval times, when an animal with dark feathers or fur, including crows and ravens, signaled death.
In 16th.-century Italy, it was believed that death was imminent if a black cat would lay on someone's sickbed. In modern-day North America, negative connotations continue to haunt black cats: It’s considered bad luck if a black cat crosses your path, and good luck if a white cat crosses your path.
Another family member is bound to die if you spot a black cat during a funeral procession. And it's a bad omen if you see a black cat walking away from you.
Fortunately, all these ideas are just superstition.
-- Black Cats Are Good Luck
Black cats are also believed to bring good luck in many ways. In ancient Egypt, black cats were held in the highest esteem because they resembled Bastet, the cat-headed Egyptian goddess of home, fertility, and protection from disease.
Black cats are considered good luck in other parts of the globe as well. In Asia and the U.K., you're going to be lucky in life if you own a black cat. When British good luck postcards feature a cat, the cat is always black.
In Japan, you'll have luck in finding love if you spot a black cat.
In parts of England, a bride will have luck in her marriage if she receives a black cat as a gift.
In Europe, sailors will have a safe journey if they bring along a black cat on the ship.
In Scotland, you'll have coming prosperity if a black cat appears at your doorway or on your porch.
In France, something magical is about to happen if you see a black cat.
In other cultures around the world, it’s a sign of good luck if you dream about a black cat, see one walking towards you, or if you happen to find a stray white hair on its fur.

From an article published April 12, 2025 in Texas Highways:
“A Dallas-based writer and professor, George Getschow is working to preserve what was McMurtry’s self-proclaimed 'temple of books'—his famous storefront Booked Up in Archer City, Texas. McMurtry acquired all the volumes inside the shop, and his touch is obvious. Some copies are hand-marked for sale or noted with comments; others are knocked down in cost for being 'too sentimental' or repriced if McMurtry changed his opinion of the book after finishing it. The shop is where he married Faye Kesey, widow of writer Ken Kesey, and the place where he directed his ashes be kept. He used the store to redefine the 'bookless' town he grew up in and build a tradition of literary appreciation.
“Getschow spent some 15 years in and out of that bookshop, working and socializing with McMurtry, who died in 2021. After McMurtry’s death in 2021, there was no one to operate Booked Up, and the store closed its doors seemingly for good. But on March 8, after months of planning and de-cluttering, the building reopened as something new: the Larry McMurtry Literary Center. . .” [Excerpt from the article by Alice Scott at TexasHighways.com]
Larry McMurtry is most often associated with Texas, but he lived in the Washington, D.C. area for many years where he operated a bookshop in Georgetown from the early '70s onward. That's where I met him as I often visited "Booked Up," his shop on 31st and M Streets, NW.
By 1989, Larry McMurtry was back on the street where he started in Archer City, Texas, just down the road from the white frame house where he grew up. There, he collected over 450,000 books in four "Booked Up" stores. He passed away in March 2021, at the age of 84, but "Booked Up" remains, thanks to old friends like George Getschow who “just want to keep his flame burning.” Also remaining are novels such as "Lonesome Dove," "The Last Picture Show", "Terms of Endearment," "Leaving Cheyenne," "Comanche Moon," "Streets of Laredo," and dozens of his screenplays for motion pictures and television series.

사람들은 모두 잠을 잔다. 일상을 살아가든, 여행을 하든 하루하루 잠을 자며 살아간다. 대부분 '집(Home)' 이라는 익숙한 공간에서 잠을 자고 깨어 하루를 살아가지만. 돌이켜보면 집이 아닌 곳에서 잠을 잔 기억도 많다.
술 취해 혼자 들어갔던 모텔, 이불에서 곰팡이 냄새가 나던 친구의 자취방, 돈이 아까워 좌석을 뉘우고 드러누웠던 공영주차장. 비가 줄줄세던 어느 해수욕장 송림의 텐트의 기억까지. 항상 집에서 눈감는 인생은 지루하다. 내일 못 일어날지도 모르는데.
'어디서' 잠을 잤다는 단편의 사실에는 많은 스토리가 함께한다. 누구와 함께였다는 사실이 주가 될때도 있고 왜 멀쩡한 집 놔두고 거기서? 라는 사연을 동반하기도 한다.
언제부턴가 나는 점심, 저녘시간 의례하는 "뭐먹을까" 하는 고민말고 해가 지면 "오늘은 어디서 잘까?" 하며 지내기로 했다. 어쩌지 못했던 상황에 의한 수동이 아닌 나의 의지로. 집이 아닌 다른곳에서 자며 생활하기로 결정했다.
이 프로젝트의 큰 방향은 돈을 건네면 깨끗한 이불과 칫솔까지 주는 '숙박업소'가 아니다.
타인의 삶으로 잠시 들어가보는 것에 있는지도 모르겠다.
내 집은 한동안 빈집이 되었고 가끔씩 옷을 가지러, 강아지 밥을 주러 일주일에 두어번 정도 이른아침 혹은 주말에 잠시 들렀던 것 같다. 낯선곳에서 일어나 아침마다 편의점에서 '양말'을 사는 것이 일상이 될 즈음
친구들은 나에게 묻기 시작했다.
"어제 어디서 잤어?"
"Where did you sleep last night ?"
