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.

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.
Series Description: Umpteenth round of shots from my recent backpack around Bosnia and Croatia
Spartanburg County, SC.
The texturing is unintentional, caused by a damaged batch of film; I have tried to include it as a pictorial element here. Shot near maximum aperture, which resulted in some vignetting and circumferential blur.

1911 postmarked postcard view of the White Store and the Towle Opera House in Hammond, Indiana. The photographer took this photograph while standing on the west side of Hohman Avenue between Fayette and Sibley Streets. He (or she) was looking east-northeast.
The opera house was actually in the same building as the White Store, at the back of the building. The opera house entrance was at the north end of the building on Hohman Avenue. In this scene, it was below the large T-shaped sign that advertised TOWLE OPERA HOUSE.
The brick building just beyond that sign was on the southwest corner at Sibley Street and Hohman Avenue. However, Sibley and Hohman didn’t cross at a four-way intersection back then. Traffic coming from the west on Sibley had to jog a short distance to the north to cross Hohman. The 1915 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Hammond shows that Sibley Street drivers coming from the west would arrive at Hohman Avenue directly across from the theater entrance. Today, the section of Sibley west of Hohman has been relocated in order to replace the jog at Hohman with a four-way intersection a little farther north.
The Towle Opera House apparently was constructed in 1903. A 1909 guide¹ listed this opera house, but a 1912 version of that guide² listed the “Hammond Theatre (formerly Towle Opera House).” By the time the 1915 Sanborn™ map set was being published, the name had changed to DeLuxe Theater. The three-story building where the theater and department store were located is now gone, but the building to the north on the corner today may be the same building shown in this postcard view. The building at the right edge of this scene had a second-story bay window. The sign painted on the display window of that building is unclear, but may have advertised a BANK. The 1915 map set shows that building with the bay window and a bank occupying the first floor. Later newspapers mentioned the Hammond Savings & Trust Company at that location (597 Hohman Avenue). A state auditor’s report from 1910³ says the company was incorporated in 1907.

Pencil quickie recollection
I suspect that at some point before the building had been broken up into apartments, it had been merely a supply closet or maybe it had as I was told been a former servants quarters. Images of a maid from Dickens or Austen, curtseying good night, walking backwards all the way to her tiny room where she would now trip over my piles of books. Even during better moments it did not have the charm with which it had initially been described to me but it was inexpensive and little choice did I have. The small circle of friends I gathered around me, when I was not present, the way they described the place to others became akin to the fable of th seven blind men and the elephant, each zeroing in on what to them was the definitive aspect of the place and so the point of their story. It was not all bad though, my landlady minded her own business. She liked an after lunch schnaps which always made her a little tipsy for an hour or so. It was during what the tenants referred to as her "stagger hour" once that I ran into her on the stairs, she was cleaning the railing of the stairway, cheerily whistling to herself. When she saw me she went "Ahhhhhh" She licked her lips and held up her index finger indicating I should stop and not continue to slide on by her. Drink always made her forget her English. "I just want you to know it's OK, all right" then she sort of awkwardly clapped her hands together in a weird rhythm in what I assumed was a pantomime of doing something with dough. Was I being told or asked about dumplings for dinner again tonight even though we had just had them a day go? I nodded and said "OK OK." She smiled, then said "Any women, it's OK I know what artist life like, leave your shoes outside the door so that I will know and I will leave you an extra towel" then she pinched my cheek too hard. I continued down the stairs as she once again took up her little song. W.Wolfson

1896 photographic view of Happy Hollow and the Happy Hollow (Brannon) Covered Bridge in Richmond, Indiana
This photograph is from an 1896 pictorial history of the city.¹ The road from which this photograph was taken no longer exists and was not named in the 1896 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set. Farther south, the road was labeled North Third Street in the 1909 map set. The photographer was looking north-northeast across the East Fork Whitewater River Valley when the photograph was taken. Happy Hollow was on the west side of the river and the covered bridge was that community’s link to downtown Richmond.
The stream discharging into East Fork Whitewater River near the lower left-hand corner of this scene is the West Fork Whitewater River. Near the left edge of the scene, a road was descending down into the valley. It ran past an iron bridge. Below that bridge, the road appears to turn east across the river toward the barn with the CHEW & SMOKE MAIL POUCH advertisement.
The area appears to be mostly residential in this scene. Sanborn™ didn’t complete detailed mapping of this area until 1909. The 1909 map set shows primarily residential development west of the West Fork. However, just beyond the covered bridge, the chimneys identified the location of Nixon Paper Company. The 1896 map set shows a millrace flowing southeast along the northwest side of the East Fork. The millrace flowed through the factory and then discharged back into the river just above the covered bridge. The 1896 map set listed the company’s power sources as steam and water. That map set says the square brick chimney was 96 feet tall and the iron chimney was 175 feet tall. By the time the 1909 map set was being prepared, the paper mill had closed and the millrace was no longer on the detailed map sheet.

Something different for the TOY (Re)collections show at LULUBELL toy Bodega in Tuscon Arizona. The concept of this show is for artists to create work that reflects their early memory of toys and what influenced them to become toy designers. I chose to illustrate the oft-told tale of when I was nine and tried to make a mold of my Greedo figure out of a bar of soap and then cast in in melted Green crayon.
The show is Saturday, June 5th
from 6-9PM

I had a vague recollection of one of these Spanish-built Dodges in the livery of Buckinghamshire haulier RG Jellis & Sons; it turned out to be to be a different company altogether but the idea was already stuck in my mind. That said, it would not have been out of place in a fleet that was an early adopter of foreign trucks in the form of Mercedes-Benz NGs. The Dodge R-Series was briefly popular with operators seeking an ‘alternative’ 32-ton truck with sprightly performance (26-Jan-20).

RECOLLECTIONS OF OLD HOBART
THE POST OFFICE BLOCK. (By G. W. Rex.)
Noticing at different times accounts of old Hobart, the writer thought it might be interesting to put down from his own recollections and from mention in publications of early days some account of the buildings in the block at the corner of which the Post Office now stands, their occupants, and their history. The writer may claim to have had a particularly large intimate connection with this part of Hobart, since his business hours have been spent in it for the last 54 years, from January, 1857, down to the present time. But his first acquaintance with it dates even further back than that, and man's allotted span of three score years and ten has passed since he was taken, very young indeed, to the house of Mrs. Seal, which in the forties stood, as is mentioned below, where "The Mercury" office is now built. This is, of course, one of the oldest parts of Hobart, though not the very oldest. In a plan made in 1811, seven years after the settlement, the streets bounding it are shown with their present names. Collins-street is, of course, named after Colonel David Collins, Lieut.-Governor from 1804 till his death in-1810. Macquarie-street was so named by Governor Macquarie, after himself. Elizabeth-street was called after his wife and Argyle-street after his native county of that name in Scotland. It would be desirable, by the way, if someone did for Tasmania what has been done for South Australia, and gave us the origin as far as can be ascertainable of our place names. It may be anticipated, however, that it would be something of a labour of love, and that the circulation of the work would not be large. The first Government House stood opposite the Commercial Bank, and the ball-room on the other side of this block, about where the entrance to the Town-hall is now. This was built of wood, the timber being cut by nine Government sawyers employed by Collins from the trees which in those days grew thick and tall along the Hobart Rivulet. Elizabeth-street terminated at Macquarie-street, and when old Government House was pulled down the street was extended to the wharf. It is said that the first private house in Hobart was a hut built by Lieut. Lord, a little higher up, near where Macquarie House now stands. Coming down to a somewhat later date, there stood in the forties on the site now occupied by the General Post Office the residence of David Lord, father of the late John and James Lord, but a distinct family from that ot Lieutenant Lord. The house had a neat flower garden in front, where Mrs. Lord was often to be seen in the morning watering her garden. After her death the house was occupied by Mr. John Lord and his family. Next door to Mr. Lord's, where "The Mercury" office now stands was the residence of Mr. Charles Seal, merchant and shipowner. His son, the late Matthew Seal, was chairman of the Fisheries Board, and died at the Great Lake while on a salmon fishing trip. The house was afterwards occupied by Mr. George Burn, auctioneer, and others. Adjoining this is the old "Mercury" printing establishment, still in the possession of Messrs. Davies Bros. Limited, and used as a store, etc. On this spot, in very early days, the business of the Bank of Australasia was started, and the word "Bank." in gold letters, is still visible over the blocked-up old-entrance. Later on it was used as the residence of Mr. John Moore, printer, and then as a boarding-house kept by a family of the name of Jones. At the back of this was a yard, abutting on which were the "Herald" and the ''Guardian" printing office, and a tinsmith's workshop. In June, 1854, the late Mr. John Davies, M.H.A., purchased the printing office, and the newspaper, and altered the latter's name to ''The Mercury," which it has borne ever since. About 1852 three shops were built in the front, and occupied by Mr. R. J. Edwards, tobacconist (who previously had a shop in Liverpool street, and was burnt out by the large fire which raged between Wellington Bridge and Messrs. Brownell Bros.), Mr. Ellis Williams, tinsmith, and Mr. W. Hissey, a taxidermist and hairdresser. At the corner of Argyle and Macquarie streets in the building now known as Norman's Coffee Palace, but then called Ingloehall, after Mr. Ingle, who at one time owned a large portion of this square, a school, the nucleus of the present Hutchins School, was conducted by the Rev.J. R. Buck land, who afterwards became head master of Hutchins School. Before this the building had been occupied by Messrs. R. Lewis and Sons as a drapery establishment. Like most of the very old buildings, it stands a little back from the street, and is probably one of the oldest buildings still standing in this block. A little later Mr. W. Robertson, who had previously had a draper's shop in Elizabeth-street, where Mr. Cumming's shop now is, moved to this house, out he afterwards went to Victoria, and settled at Colac. The writer remembers two Norfolk Island pines which grew in front of Ingle-hall, being taken up and replanted in front of St. Andrew's Church, Bathurst-street, where they are still growing. Turning to Argyle-street, the first place was an oil and colour warehouse occupied by Mr. O. H. Hedberg. Mr. Hedberg, who was a Swede by birth, and a man of great strength and energy, was also superintendent of the Fire Brigade, and the Tasmanian Fire Insurance Company's manual fire engine was kept on his premises. The buildings next to these were occupied by Mr. James Burdon, coach-builder. They are still used for the same purpose, being occupied by Vout, Chisholm, and Co. The place at the corner of Argyle and Collins streets was occupied by Mr. Alex. Gellie, merchant and corn-dealer. Later on Mr. Guillois, a Frenchman, carried on the mattress-making business on these premises, and at his death Mr. Mangan, who still carries it on, took over the business. In part of the same premises in Collins-street Mr. R. Sawyer had a boot and shoe establishment. This part of the town was then something of an educational centre, for the next place up Collins-Street was a children's school, kept by Mrs. Metheringham. Next to her Mr. Alex. Fraser, who was also superintendent of the Melville street Wesleyan Sunday school, carried on business as a coach builder. Later on he went to Melbourne, and finally became Minister for Lands and Works in Victoria. His business here was taken over by Mr. J. McPherson, but later on the place was bought by Mr. G. S. Crouch, who carried on the business of an auctioneer there. The building next to this has had a very varied history. In those days it was used as auctioneering premises, and as such occupied by Messrs. Lowes and Macmichael, then by Mr. T. Y. Lowes, and then by Messrs. Brent and Westbrook. After this Mr. Daniel Graham carried on business there as a grocer and tea dealer. When he retired the place was renovated, and turned into a dancing saloon, called "the Polytechnic." It then reverted for a time to auctioneering uses under Mr. Thomas Westbrook and finally became the office of the "Tasmanian News." Where the building now occupied by Mr. Nettlefold stands there was in those days a gable ended building. To this Messrs. Ferguson and Co. at a later date built a front and carried on a wine and spirit business there. Before long building and front alike will probably be things of the past. On the corner where tho A.M.P. Society's buildings now stand were the stores of Messrs. L. Stevenson and Sons, drapery importers (in whose office Sir Philip Fysh and his brother were accountants), and occupied the place. Later on they moved to where Tattersalls now stands. Horwitz and Marks then occupied it, and Mr. J. G. Parker succeeded them on the corner. His business was that of a general importer, and there was also a bark mill near by. The building was a very old one, and, stood back a few yards from the footpath ; finally the A.M.P. Society bought it, and erected their present premises. Next door, in Elizabeth-street, was a small tailor's shop, occupied by a Mr. Capurn, who hailed from Lincolnshire. After him it was occupied successively by John Dean (baker and store), Messrs. Boyle Robertson Patey (agent), Robin Hood (picture-frame maker), and W. Le grand (old book-dealer), and finally became a tea-room. The place next-door was an upholstery and cabinet warehouse, occupied by Mr. Leonard Pear| son. After his death Mr. Henry Hopkins; jun. (son of Henry Hopkins, who built Westella, and is said to have been the first to export Tasmanian wool) carried on business as a machinery importer there. The place was afterwards purchased by Mr. James Robb, saddler, who still occupies it. Next door to this Mr. M. Fitzgerald had a tailoring business which afterwards passed to Mr. Henry Cook. and is still carried on by his son. It is interesting to notice that on this spot there stood, in still earlier days according to J. H. Walker's Early Tasmania, the Derwent Hotel, which was in its time the best inn in the town, and was kept by Mr. William Thomas Stocker, who was appointed by Lieut.-Governor Collins captain of the night watch soon after the first settlement of Hobart. Down Lord's Lane (now known as Cook's Lane) was a third-class educational establishment, a select academy and boarding-school for young gentlemen, conducted by Mr. Henry Wolff, the father of Mrs. George Levy, who is still a resident of Hobart. In addition to this, there were in the lane buildings occupied by Mr. C. E. Wilmot (registrar of births), Mr. J. Gill (solicitor, father of the late Mr. J. W. Gill), and other tenements and stables At the corner of Lord's Lane facing Elizabeth-street, stood Mrs. Gilford's choice silk, satin, and drapery establishment. Later on, Mr. McGregor used this as an office, and ultimately it, together with Lord's corner with which we began our catalogue, was bought as a site for the now Post Office. This fine building, which now adorns the city, is of course of very recent origin, the foundation stone having been laid on July 6, 1901, by our present King, George V., then Duke of York.

Going through past stuff to put up on the blog (thus the circle-b - theatreofthemundane.tumblr.com/) and came across this, which I overlooked back in January. For whatever reason I didn't care for it at the time.
Looking southeast off the Whole Foods parking lot. An inbound Rock Island train is arriving LaSalle Street in the distance, AMTK P42DC #192 is about to deadhead into Union Station with the Empire Builder, and IDTX SC-44 #4617 gets servicing at 14th Street.
“The human brain is like a railroad freight car -- guaranteed to have a certain capacity but often running empty.”
And a final shot from the little project I set myself this week to try and document my commute with my iphone. It was good fun breaking out of the usual routine with the big camera, and nice too not to be weighed down by it and the changing of lenses.
The iphone is never going to take over my photography, but I really feel like I pushed myself into seeing things a little differently again.
