A heartfelt, emotionally rich and brave story of the interplay between society and individual that leaves no question that a person’s identity is not so much innate as fired in the kiln of society’s judgement and hatred. So much feeling and emotion streamed off the pages of this story that I was moved to tears from the outset. Some spoilers ahead in order to analyze this book in terms of the transgender movement and how the silencing of this author’s story coopts lesbian history in order to serve the transgender cyborg movement of medical intervention.
Published in 1993 this autobiographical novel takes place in Buffalo, New York some 30 years earlier in the young life of Jess who comes of age as a butch lesbian after a rough childhood fending off the question “Are you a boy or a girl?” Her preference for wearing boys’ clothes and soon after her attraction to girls defines an identity I can surely relate to. Once she finds her way to a gay bar she is schooled by elder butch lesbians with their own code of honor informing them of how to conduct themselves and we are deep in the era of the Butch Femme lesbian world of the ’50s and early ‘60s.
And it is a rough one for cross dressers of both sexes who are routinely arrested and humiliated to such an extent that the most sensitive of these butch women are broken, becoming emotionally disconnected from their feelings and unable to receive sexual pleasuring for fear of reopening these wounds. Thus the term stone butch. We are introduced too to the femme women some of whom are masters at bringing out the gentler feelings of their butch counterpart and melting their ‘stone’. And some of whom are “pros” the prostitutes plying their trade on the streets.
The characters of this story are soon engulfed by the events at Stonewall and the ensuing gay liberation movement and the lesbian feminists who push aside the Butch Femme culture as antiquated and patriarchal. Thus the on-the-ground lived reality of working class lesbians are victimized by the esoteric ideas of educated women who manage their self perception and self value with feminist theories that keep them above the fray in a middle class academic setting.
Caught between the brutality dished out by police and the abandonment of the gay movement the butches are left adrift and Jess is tempted to follow some of her butch peers down the path of medical transition. It is because of this choice that the author Leslie Feinberg self identifies as a leader of the transgender movement and is repeatedly claimed by trans history. But the full details of her story are not told in that history. Likely because her heroine makes it clear that she is not seeking transition because she feels she is a man trapped in a woman’s body per trans ideology. No she is something in between.
“Passing” in an unjust and judgmental society has long been the lure for those who are caught between belonging and not belonging. But it is a hard position to hold that will test your loyalties and sense of self. Jess does not find relief in her new identity. She becomes a man without a past. She moves to New York and subsequently detransitions in order to reconnect with who she really is and regain her past.
In the trans activist's narrative today the silencing of the stories of detransitioners is insisted upon or seen as so infrequent as to be inconsequential because otherwise the question becomes why seek medical intervention at all when it is clearly society that needs to be adjusted to accept those who express themselves in gender non-conforming ways?
And if you look at Native American tribes those societies that recognize the third sex/ two spirit category tend to be highly patriarchal while those less patriarchal have much broader definitions of gender expressions so have no need of such a relief valve. Cross dressers have been around since pagan times as described in Feinberg's book Transgender Warriors. While medical intervention has only been around since 1952. In this historical context it is a performance enhancer not a cure for the diagnosis of gender dysphoria.
It has been said that the butch lesbian persona is a strategy for managing what we know as gender dysphoria today. Leslie Feinberg clearly wanted to help transgender people by telling her story. She dedicated the 20th edition in 2014 to CeCe McDonald a Black transwoman who was incarcerated after a bar raid. But in 1993 when the first edition came out butch lesbians were making a comeback in the lesbian community. I didn't read it at the time, but reading it now it is even more poignant and current.
The same conversations between butches taking the trans path and their female remaining lovers are going on now with just as much emotional upset albeit suppressed so as to be "supportive". And butch lesbians who don't want to transition are being pressured to by those who have and in increasingly insulting language. Not to mention the plight of teen girls seeing transition as the way to go. This is surely not the outcome Leslie Feinberg wanted, but she is dead and her family have pledged a vow of silence on her work and intentions. Stone Butch Blues however carries all that I needed to affirm that butch lesbians are a true phenomena of lesbian expression.
I read the PDF book for free downloaded from www.lesliefeinberg.net/
Thus this is not my usual photo of a hard copy book. It is borrowed from the cover of the 2003 edition. It is a photograph of the author.

She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.

This is going to be a bit of a long post so take a seat and bear with me. It’ll be worth it. Well for me anyway.
At the start of this year another London based photographer left a message on my Facebook page, something along the lines of “you stole my photo”, the photo in question was this one, of Hainault station. Up until he made contact with me I did not know of him or his work. I’m going to keep him anonymous so let’s just refer to him as Dick as I think the name fits perfectly.
So Dick, he decided that there is no way on earth that two photographers can take the same photo independently. Apparently what he sees no one else can. He then decided to go through all my underground shots one by one and list every station that I had been to that he had also visited. He totally ignored the fact that if you look at any photographers work who has shot on the underground they have near enough the same shots and covered the same stations, but that did not fit into the story he wanted to tell. He himself has many shots in his stream that have been done before him by other photographers.
He went on to slander me at great length on both his Facebook page and Flickr account and link back to my work (I had to contact Flickr and ask them to remove his post which they kindly did). If I ignored him, "I was guilty as I was not defending myself". If I did argue my side "the lady was protesting too much". He even went on to claim “I must have a guilty conscious and could not sleep” as I answered one of his attacks at 2am in the morning. I hardly ever go to bed before three. I’m a night owl but then again that would not fit into the narrative he wanted to tell.
When I pointed out that my work speaks for itself and that I had four times the number of followers then him at the time his response was something along the lines of just because you get people voting for you on x-factor it does not make you a good singer. I did not have the vision or the technical skills to produce a photo like that. “You’re just a populist photographer”, was his response when I said both Time Out and Londonist use my photos frequently, overlooking the fact that he submits his work to them as well, they just never use it. He went on and on but I’m not going to bore you with his vitriol.
It’s at that point I stopped trying to defend myself and thought ok let’s see if I can prove him wrong. I started submitting my work to photography magazines and competitions. So this year I have
Won one photo competition and come runner up in three others.
Was the first photographer to be profiled when Time Out started a series on London photographers.
Got a photo printed in the Time Out magazine as well as them using loads of my photos in their gallery.
Started teaching photography.
And now I’m in Practical Photography magazine having “that” photo reviewed.
I also have one photo in December’s issue of PhotoPlus magazine, two photos in the Digital Camera magazine in January and another photo in PhotoPlus again at some point next year. Not bad for someone with no talent or vision. So I will take this moment to personally thank Dick for coming into my life. Before him I was just happy to mull along doing my own thing but he gave me the incentive to put myself out there.
I originally started this out as an open letter to Dick but then decided he would probably have some excuse or hate filled response to anything I had to say so decided not to. I’m going to leave him to stew in his own bitterness.
So, the moral of the story is, don’t waste time arguing with stupidity just go out and prove it wrong.
Thank you for reading.
By this question, I mean what we, three or four of us, are doing together in one place to take a picture. Logically, there is only this one location. But the perspectives of the people involved are very often different. Above all, the need to capture the emotion associated with a perspective is not constant; it is factored or quotated. This is what we experienced in the dark hours of a day called January 2, 2025, outside the high walls of Huta Łabędy. How do you even get in?
There are plenty of tears these days about the EP09 series. And so the day was kind to us, letting EP09-031 gaze lovingly into our cameras. It's clear: three perspectives, three needs, three photographs.

[ When Daylight Breaks into Dusk ]
One evening, as I wayed my course into the beguiling avenue of the beach, the seaside marine land sleeps in "shsh" quiescent night like a deserted beach.
The atmosphere's flavour provoked my inquisitive mind thinking of so many answers of enigmatic questions bombarded into my head. Looking around me there is nobody else to be seen but the dimming shadows that slowly devour the whole sky into darkness, a couple of native "sakayan" or pumpboats rested ashore and few tiny animals scattered randomly around the wide stretched beach. The night creatures were already busy with their activities. On my left where the land was, I can hear only a few gentle mesmerizing sounds, the ˜whoosh' coming from the turning waves, the light wind blowing slowly, I could hear the shrill cries of the cicadas and other insects, the croaking crickets that are no-where to be seen and a few loud ˜cheeps' coming from white seagulls which occasionally fly by slowly over the sea, sometimes landing, and floating smoothly on the sea for a while but soon disappearing back into the sky and a gentle breeze rustled among the coconut palms. On my right the waves broke gently on the shore sending up sprays of phosphorescent surf.
Ahead of me the calm, peaceful sea stretches out for as far as I can see. A never-ending sheet of water with deep, dirty blue waves swirling repetitively around hits the moving water with an almost silent ˜clash' and comes right up onto the stony, sand as the night tide goes in. The bubbly tips of the big waves are white like a fluffy, thin layer of snow on the ground. The fresh, salt smell from the water diffuses through the misty air, right up to my nose.
Dim light of stars and the moon create simmering reflections on the water. It seems that small pieces of light are moving towards shore all the time, but they never reach it. Despite the beach is empty, it seems that different figures are hidden in the dark. The combination of dark and dim light from the stars gives mystical coloring to this place. Each motion is hard because air is filled with darkness. It seems that each motion makes the vibrations which are reflected all around.
It becomes clear that there is nothing to be done with this natural beauty. All things are at the right places and nothing can be taken away or added to this beautiful image.
However all good things must come to an end. The night comes to deep, the beautiful view slowly died down, darkness regained its mastery and the black sky suddenly evince the existence of full glistening stars. It felt good to be alive. Then, I said goodbye to the seaside nature and finally headed home after spending a wonderful evening on the beach.

Here's a quiz question: name a location that this could have been taken at?
As in many cities Edinburgh is making great advances in providing accurate information to passengers at bus stops as to when the next bus is due to arrive. Lothian Buses has been accelerating speedily in installing time track display monitors at stops, not just in the centre of the city but across the region.
Here's how it works: Each bus is fitted with a tracking device in order for the RTPI system to know where it is. The system calculates how long it will take to arrive at each of the stops along the route. Using satellite technology the system then communicates the bus information to a display at the bus stop. Lothian's displays show the service number, the destination and when the bus is due to arrive in minutes. There are also symbols for estimated timings and disabled details.
For the bus enthusiast this is an excellent piece of equipment as it allows us to know when to prepare for the shot and also we can wander across the street to the other side to see when the one coming in the other direction is due. What a pity the monitor can't also show the fleet number - now that would be REAL progress!
" Selon que vous serez puissant ou misérable Les jugements de cour vous rendront blanc ou noir."
La Fontaine
"Questions, we never will find answers to,
Questions which never stop coming to our minds
Questions that build us till we die
Questions, that intrigue us all our lives...
But to live it without answers is a question that keeps knocking us always... "
~ I found this quote on the web somewhere and then changed it some...
and in response to the most obvious question regarding this picture. It is a tugboat on the Arthur Kill (between Staten Island and Bayonne, NJ) at night. These are easy to take. Zoom in on some lights. Preferably some lights of varying colors. Street with traffic lights work well. So do tugboats - if you can find one.
After finding a target select MF (manual focus) and make everything out of focus. Then fire away. I find these easier to take with a fast shutter speed so I set the ISO to 1600. This is definitely wise if you are shooting a street with traffic since you want still lights rather than moving lights.
Riddle me this, riddle me that ...
So tonights experiment was with a form of "lightpainting" altho it had
more to do with long exposure than knowing what i was doing with the
laser pointer i had. After several tries to capture a whole bunch of me
using a 20 second exposure,i decided to try and write a question mark
in my forehead,since my Dragon laser pointer is green.
these images are 100% photoshop free. I am going to try many more
with this technique.. its potential is pretty awesome. and being able to "draw" on
someone else will make it ALOT easier ;)

IF This is the correct loco (see Alun's comments below).
Built by Ruston & Hornsby Ltd, (Works No. 412431/1957).
After industrial use with Steetley Minerals, Buxton, it was bought by Peak Rail arriving at Rowsley on 25/07/2003
On 25 May 2019, it was noted as still stored.
Alun has confirmed it was scrapped on 14 June 2019 with its parts being used for other locos.
If anyone can clear up the mystery of the identity of this and the what is possibly 412432 at the Museum of Lincolnshire Life, I would be eternally grateful 😊
D'ou venons nous ? De quoi sommes nous fait ?
C'est la question que nous nous sommes posés avec ma douce Marie-Louise et c'est cette même question qui a servi de fil conducteur pour toute cette série
Certains astrophysiciens comme Hubert Reeves et Jean-Pierre Luminet aiment à penser que nous venons des étoiles. C'est une pensée qui nous parle.
Lorsqu'une étoile se désintègre ses milliers d'atomes et de particules donnent naissance à d'autres astres. La terre est elle même issue de cette explosion plus connue sous le nom de Big Bang. C'est vers le ciel que nous nous sommes penchés, c'est du ciel que nous venons. Nous sommes enfants d'étoiles, nous sommes poussière d'étoiles.

She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.

This is my second picture for the theme “The answers are within.” This time Playful Raindrops strikes a pose in a chalkboard flat lay. I’m glad I’ve finally been able to use the “?” box, which I’ve had for a long time.

Ask me any questions! :)
I posted this question on social media earlier today: What is saving your life right now?
Would love to hear your answers, a question Barbara Brown Taylor asks to combat the dark cloud that we can sometimes focus on of what is the going well...
For me it's running and reading and writing, walking the dog, trying to sleep enough.
Then I took this photo and realized noticing the everyday beauty everywhere makes the list as well.
