c1910 postcard view of West Franklin, Indiana. Neither the photographer nor the original owner of this postcard provided any description to explain this scene. The boys in the foreground may have been playing baseball. There were barns and a home on the far side of the street. It’s not clear if the building at the right was a school or a church. Clearly, this was some sort of family or community gathering.

c1910 postcard view of the M. E. Freeman Store in Lawrence, Indiana. The store also served as the Lawrence Post Office. The 1914/15 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Indianapolis (volume 4) shows the Freeman building at the intersection of Main, Railroad and East Streets. (Today, Main Street is known as Franklin Road and East Street is known as 46th Street.) The building was on a triangular corner east of Main between Railroad Street on the northwest and East Street on the south. The C. C. C. & St. L. (Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis) Railroad ran northeast-southwest along Railroad Street and crossed Main Street just north of the store. The I. U. T. (Indiana Union Traction) Company’s interurban line paralleled the railroad through Lawrence. The photographer was standing on the west side of Main Street where East Street ended and looking east. Railroad Street was at his immediate left and adjacent to the store.

Railroad Street was at his immediate left and adjacent to the store.
Two bicycles were leaning against the store next to the porch. One of the advertising signs in the store windows was for a product called SQUARE DEAL. M. E. Freeman was included in the 1884 Marion County history and identified as the proprietor of a general store and the town’s postmaster.
Two signs were mounted on the two-story frame building on the south side of East Street. The sign hanging from the front of the building advertised the L. DUNN & CO. GENERAL STORE. The sign on the side of the building was only partially visible, but included the word MEAT. The brick building at the right edge of this scene was on the southeast corner at Main and East Streets.

Sooo I actually didn't take this picture! My lovely boyfriend stole my camera of me and snapped a few shots!
So here's my new haircut which i have yet to reveal to my flickr followers, and yeah :P
A special project I wanted to do for Halloween...I knew the concept of the costume I wanted, which was a ghost from the 1920's/1930's, but being a writer, I couldn't help but take it a step further and think about crafting a bit of a backstory & history behind my costume. It led to a poem I wrote entitled "Recollection" which is from a fictitious anthology of poetry set during Harlem of the 1920's and 30's called "Voices Of Harlem". I'm very much inspired by the greats during this period such as Zora Neale Hurston & Langston Hughes and am excited about the possibility of writing this anthology of poems. Hope someone finds it half-way interesting and hope everyone had a great Halloween. Be sure to hit 'L' to see on black!
'Recollection'
by V.G. Grace
Poem from fictitious anthology "Voices Of Harlem"
I came on a 'Carolina wind,
open
unschooled.
I was certain I could take on
the city
'cuz my mother didn't raise a fool.
My eyes were the color of spring green grass.
The city had in store for me
somethin' cold and fast.
A shabby boarding-house room
was all I could afford.
It was no matter,
I was gonna save my money
and trust in the Lord.
I met a good-lookin' man with a coolness to his ways,
fell hard,
didn't know it was gonna be the end of my days.
It was good for a piece
but it turned sour
quick.
I was too simple,
he needed
a fun gal.
I thought him so beautiful,
so slick.
So I did what he wanted,
changing my
face,
body,
and head.
Turned myself inside-out,
drinkin' the nights away,
my lips painted his favorite color, blood red.
I did everything he asked and more,
but one night
he said he'd found himself a different gal
and that I'd become a bore.
I watched his back recede
into the cold
night
air.
I grabbed a bottle of whiskey
and drank
to wasted affairs,
then I bought a bottle of wine
and drank 'til I didn't care.
I started
dancin' wild
in the street.
Didn't hear that automobile comin'
or saw its lights,
but my eyes did land on the moon in the sky
before hittin' the concrete.
Don't know why,
but my last recollection is mama in the kitchen frying fish,
fresh cod.
My name?
It was Bertha Todd.

Stan Sellen, an accomplished artist with a love for the Canadian landscape, has been documenting the evolution of rural vistas through paint for decades. His work, painted en plein air (in the open air), incorporates vibrant and soulful motifs which capture the essence and spirit of Vaughan’s landscape by utilizing stylized patterns of natural light, movement and colour. Painted during the 1960s and 70s, these rustic and rural scenes immortalize an earlier time and illustrate the evolution of Vaughan from Town to City. Today, these works help to provide an effective historical narrative of Vaughan’s past and agrarian heritage.
The City of Vaughan Archives, Office of the City Clerk, contains original, primary source records which provide City staff and the public with a better understanding of Vaughan’s past. By managing and preserving both City and community records, the City Archives ensures that Vaughan’s rich and varied history will continue to be available for future generations.

Philip Jones Griffiths (1936-2008) is best remembered as one of the most influential photographers of the Vietnam conflict. He photographed the Vietnam War beginning in 1966, as a member of the Magnum Photo Agency. He subsequently published three books with powerful and compelling anti-war themes: Vietnam, Inc. in 1971, then Agent Orange: Collateral Damage in Vietnam in 2004, and Vietnam at Peace in 2005.
Time Magazine called Vietnam, Inc. "the best work of photo-reportage of war ever published", and The New Statesman wrote, "Of all the hundreds of books about [the War,] this is the truest, the most important, the most upsetting."
Recollections, which was published in 2008, offers a rich counterpoint to the war reportage, and provides a wonderful retrospective of Griffiths’ photographs of Britain in the 1950s onwards. These pictures can stand in good company with those of his friend and colleague, Henri Cartier-Bresson. With an uncanny sense of composition, timing, and point of view, Griffiths photographed coal miners in Wales, the Beatles in Liverpool, soldiers in Northern Ireland, and anti-war protests on the streets of London. Griffiths’ pictures depict everyday life and landmark political events over three decades of change and upheaval in Great Britain.
Tony Benn, a politician who often shook things up in the British government, was so moved by this work, that he wrote a personal letter of thanks to Griffiths. He said:
"Recollections will rank, I think, alongside your Vietnam pictures… It is a very important book because for me, and everyone of my age, it is a chronicle of a period of history which may seem far away but which led to ideas of great importance for the future…
"It must be some comfort to you to know that your work will outlast all the speeches and posturings of politicians with their spin doctors, and will reveal more about the arguments of our times, than you can get from leading articles or BBC programmes."
Yes, he saw a lot in his lifetime, and served as a compassionate witness and a conscience for a generation. This is a lovely book.
