I've been called a 'Purist", perhaps I've even referred to myself as such a few times. The term 'Purist' is a bit of a misnomer to begin with however. I'm sure Film Photographers are apt to think any digital representations, edited or not, are to be deemed 'False'. HDR can be awful, beyond awful even, but done well it has the potential to add a new dimension to your images while imparting a subtle, yet emotional flair. I'm testing the waters, seeing where it all fits together, without overdoing it. Consistency has its merrit, stagnation benefits no one. The evolution of the artist some would say. Please join me...

Another shot of a print taken originally on 14th June 2008; this one is of a bus that pretty much is the definition of the perfect bus to me. Nice livery, fine looking design, with a great engine tone & character, but without being so old you have to push it up every hill! To top that it has the facility to get you wet on most days of the year. LOL.

During the summer of 2015, SLC 274 was the power for a lot of the Cape Cod Central tourist trains. 274 was one of seven F40PH leased by the MBTA in 2015 due to a power shortage. On this day, 274 is the trailing power on a scenic train out of Hyannis.
This is the perfect place to sit back, relax, & bury all the negative things that occurred throughout your day. Books + wine + hot bath=Nirvana.

this collection outside a shop fascinated me, such an eclectic mix of memorabilia. Unlike the colour shot (a couple of postings back) where I just had to angle myself in the right position to capture the parked red car in the mirror, I had to will this woman to walk past the mirror. A couple of people had walked past the mirror and I'd seen the potential, but when I espied this particular woman I willed her not to cross the road, not to get into a parked car and then, I saw her profile in the mirror . . . and that was the closest I would get to a young Queen Vic!

I was taken on a wander away from the centre of Sarajevo by one of the many generous Bosnians I met while in the city. He wanted to show me the residential area around the power station that, due to the Serbian targeting of utilities, had suffered badly from shelling, grenades and sniper fire. It was a small area just a block or two away from the reconstructed and bustling Austro-Hungarian quarter but it was, in clichéd terms, like a different world. There were shelled buildings untouched since 1996 that you could just wander into.
I didn’t expect to be shooting that day so had no tripod so most of the images came out more than a tad blurry so have done what I can to capture some of the gloomy mood by fiddling in an amateur way using DPP. Hopefully you can ignore the blur, the lack of sharpness, the excessive grain and the heavy handed post-processing and enjoy the images for what they are.

I'll stand where you once stood, I'll taste the air you breathed. I'll remember who I was when we were us. I'll wonder where you are, and if you ever think of me.

Late 2015, SLC 302 was the power for a lot of Cape Cod Central tourist trains. 302 was one of seven F40PH leased by the MBTA in 2015 due to a power shortage. On this day, 302 is the trailing power on a holiday-themed train in Wareham.

1909 postmarked postcard view of Milltown, Indiana. This bird’s-eye view was looking southeast toward Main and Mill streets. The covered bridge over Blue River is clearly visible near the right edge of the postcard. The photographer identified two of the buildings in the foreground. The one on the left appears to be F. & A. M (Masonic Hall) and the other was the K. P. HALL (Knights of Pythias). The 1915 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set shows two two-story buildings of wood frame construction at the intersection of Main and First streets. One was on the north corner of that intersection with a feed and hardware business on the first floor and a “Hall” on the second floor. The other building was on the west corner of the intersection with a grocery on the first floor and a “Lodge” on the second floor. The church just above the F. & A. M. building was probably the Christian Church on Mill Street. An older church building stands on the north corner at Mill and First streets today. The trees across the street from the lodge halls were shading businesses. The rooftops and houses above those trees belonged to houses along Mill Street, but they are all gone today. The covered bridge was just beyond the intersection of Mill and Water streets and had been replaced by an iron bridge by the time the 1915 map set was being published. (bridgehunter.com/in/crawford/ says the iron bridge was built in 1913.)
The Southern Railway track entered the scene at the left edge of the postcard, and the railway bridge over Blue River is visible near the center of the scene. Another church and several houses stood beyond the railroad. The Milltown Cemetery can be seen in the distance as well. The two-story house above the bridge appears to be the same house on that corner of East Main Street NW today. The other two-story house a little farther away (above the bridge) appears to be the first house on Spencer Street NW.
The photographer’s location was not identified. However, the 1915 map set shows the two-story public school on the south side of a street identified only as “LANE.” This was west of Church Street. The school had a 40-foot bell tower and it may have provided the elevation needed to obtain this view. The school is gone and “LANE” appears to have been vacated.

The regular Hotsy Totsy Burlesque hosts are Cherry Pitz and Handsome Brad, gathering every month for their benefit shows in the basement of Home For Wayward Girls and Fallen Women - "We've fallen, we can't get up, and we like it that way" - who need the money to keep the place open and to stay stocked with G-strings and glitter. Inevitably, antics ensue.
A thorough appreciation of the Hotsy tribute shows really requires a certain gleeful embrace of the hokey. The shows are fantastic fun, and squeezing the various acts into each month's theme is a challenge. Once that's done, it's up to the hosts and writers to find some sort of vague pretense for the action to follow. The resulting plot is really a "plot," in that stretching the word to sheet this particular bed begs for wink-wink quotation marks.
Here Cherry and Brad are dressed for an October presentation of their Peanuts Halloween Pageant. Brad, appearing as Linus to Cherry's Charlie Brown, makes it through the Great Pumpkin Sincerity speech ("I've always wanted to do that!") when suddenly he freezes, paralyzed by an elusive, horrific memory. That time, that distant time, when he was a child, and he and his friends fought together against a nameless evil - he can almost remember, but something awful happened. Didn't it? Or did it?
Which is how the plunge into Hotsy's first ever Tribute to Stephen King begins.
On a side note, I shoot so often in dark spotlit rooms that I have a processing approach that generally serves me well for this kind of thing. Once in a while I'll work on a photo for an hour or two and end up with an image that is nearly exactly the same as it was at the start, except a bit brighter than it was at first pass. It doesn't happen much, and this is one of those.
1910 postmarked postcard view of Main Cross Street in Edinburgh, Indiana. This view was looking east through the Walnut Street intersection. The trolley car was headed west and had just passed the Holland Street intersection.
Several business signs are readable in this scene and many of the buildings in this block are still in use as of 2014. Also, the business information presented in the 1910 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Edinburgh closely matches the business signs in this postcard view.
For example, the nearest sign on the north (left in this view) side of the street advertised PENINSULAR FURNACES, STOVES AND RANGES. That sign was on the third building east of Walnut Street. The map set shows a stoves business on the ground floor with a tin shop on the second floor. The next sign advertised ____ COMET and the bottom of that sign included _OOL. It is difficult to know which building was associated with that sign. However, the map set shows a barbershop and poolroom as the second business east of the stoves business. There is no obvious sign identifying the Edinburgh Post Office, but the map set shows it east of that barbershop. It is nearly impossible to determine distances between the signs, but the awning with LUNCH printed on the fringe was probably advertising the restaurant the map set shows as the fifth business west of Holland Street. Above (and beyond) that awning was an octagonal oversize pocket watch trade sign advertising a jeweler. The map set shows a jeweler as the third business west of Holland Street. Above (and beyond) that pocket watch sign was a sign that appears to advertise ____ITO & CO. ___OL. This could be associated with the cigar store and poolroom the map set shows as the second business west of Holland Street.
On the south side of the street, behind and to the right of the trolley, the farthest three-story building was on the southeast corner at Holland Street. The map set shows the Beal Hotel at that location. On the southwest corner, the sign advertised THE PALACE, but the map set shows two vacancies in that building. The map set shows a barbershop at the west end of that building although the barber’s pole in this scene may appear to be next door. The small horizontal white sign farther west is unclear, but may include _. WINT__. The map set shows a boots and shoes business in the east half of that building and a grocery and bakery in the west half. The map set shows the tenants in the building at the alley as a bank (with a tailor’s shop upstairs) in the east half of the building and a dry goods, clothing and boots and shoes business in the west half. The sign east of the alley advertised THOMPSON DRY GOODS CO. The large advertisement on the side of that building appears to advertise women’s clothing.
West of the alley, most of the signs on the first building are unreadable, but the map set shows a drugstore on that corner. One of the signs on that building advertised _. _. ____ LAW OFFICE. The board sign standing on the sidewalk included the word PRINTS. That sign stood next to a public hand water pump that is shown in the map set. The sign in the window to the right (west) of that building’s main entrance advertised STOVE_. The map set shows a hardware and stoves business next to the drugstore. A small sign below and to the left of the balcony advertised AMERICAN [LADIES?] TAILORING CO., but the map set doesn’t identify a tailoring business in that area. The larger J. L. MOORE GENT’S FURNISHER sign was probably advertising the haberdashery business identified in the map set as the third business east of Walnut Street. (The map set shows the K. of P. Hall upstairs.) Next door, the map set shows a general store as the second business east of Walnut Street. The sign at that location advertised MCCALL PATTERNS.
The larger sign at that location advertised IC & S TRACTION CO TICKET OFFICE. That sign appears to be positioned in front of the general store, but must have been hanging in front of the corner business because a large EDINBURG interurban station sign hung there. That larger sign included the distances to Louisville and Indianapolis. This was the Indianapolis, Columbus & Southern Traction Company. The route expanded in stages from the north and eventually connected Indianapolis with Louisville. Some of the men in this scene were probably waiting to board the approaching trolley. The other sign on that building advertised TAYLOR AND ROTH. The map set shows this as a drugstore, and a 1908 directory of druggists¹ listed Otto A. Taylor as an Edinburg druggist. ROTH wasn’t listed.

In Cheltenham again yesterday as Peter had to go to the solicitor re his parents' estate. The literary festival was on - bad time to go. The reservations I felt after my first visit to my birthplace after many years a few weeks ago were still with me.
