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.

I want to see
At dawn, the blush on the face
Of the mountain god.
Something like that anyway. My bad recollection of a haiku by Basho. This is Sun God Mountain from the end of the logging road. Short approach and nice long easy snow climb.

1910 postmarked postcard view of Center Lake at Warsaw, Indiana. The photographer was at the courthouse on the south side of Main Street and looking north along the alley between North Lake and North Buffalo streets. Lake Street isn’t shown in this view until it makes the turn to the northwest near the lake. Buffalo street is just outside this scene on the right. The buildings at the bottom of the postcard were located across from the courthouse along the north side of Main Street. The two-story house (with blue roof) near the lower left-hand corner was on North Lake Street, south of the alley between Main and Fort Wayne streets. That house was connected to the largest structure at the bottom of the postcard. The house and the front half of the building first appear in the 1886 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Warsaw. The type of business wasn’t identified. In the 1892 map set, the building occupant is identified as the Rittenhouse & Co. livery and feed business. Horse sheds had been built behind the livery building and an addition to the house was connected to those sheds. By 1899, the sheds had been replaced by an extension of the livery building all the way back to the alley. The connected house and livery building were still being displayed when the 1917 map set was published.
The buildings west of the alley at the lake’s edge were The Warsaw Company ice house on the left and an ice cream factory on the right. Both buildings first appeared in the 1905 map set. By the time the 1910 map set was being prepared, the ice cream factory had expanded and was identified as the Rarick & Harman Ice Cream Factory & Bottling Works. Both companies were still there when the 1917 map set was published.
The large house at the right edge of this scene sat on a large lot on the southwest corner at Fort Wayne and Buffalo streets. When the 1886 Sanborn™ map set was published two dwellings occupied that quarter of the block. By the time the 1892 map set was released, those dwellings were gone and this larger house had been built near the center of that quarter of the block. The house was still there when the 1917 map set was published, but is now gone.
The commercial building at the lower right-hand corner first appeared in the 1910 map set and extended all way to the alley. That didn’t appear to be the case when the photo used in the production of this postcard was taken. An automobile repair business was located in the building.

1908 postcard view of the J. B. Hunt Grocery in Modoc, Indiana. The postcard owner was told this is a Modoc postcard when he obtained it along with an identified Modoc street scene postcard. A review of census records confirmed that John B. Hunt (age 33) lived in Modoc. The 1910 census reported him working odd jobs. His wife Agnes (age 27) had a millinery shop. They didn't appear in either the 1900 or 1920 census data for Modoc.
The building may still be standing. A very similar building stands on the west side of Main Street. It is on the north side of the first alley north of Wine Street.

1910 postmarked postcard view of men posing in front of the Robison Park Pavilion near Fort Wayne, Indiana. The message was from Flossie to Mrs. John A. Jennings in Rome City, Indiana. It read, "Having a fine time. Was sick all day Monday in bed. Tuesday evening went to a dance, Wednesday evening to Vaudeville and to-night I'm going to a [Halley's] "Comet Dance" with Ferd, to-morrow night to the Lyric and Sat. to the Majestic. That's going some."
The park was located seven miles northeast of the Allen County Courthouse along the St. Joseph River. It was a private venture established by the Fort Wayne Consolidated Railway Co. to increase ridership and revenue. It opened in 1896 under the name of Swift Park. Stanley Robison was the first park manager and the name change occurred even before the formal opening. The park closed in 1919 and the land eventually sold.

Wisdom and Spirit of the universe!
Thou Soul, that art the Eternity of thought!
And giv'st to forms and images a breath
And everlasting motion! not in vain,
By day or star-light, thus from my first dawn
Of childhood didst thou intertwine for me
The passions that build up our human soul;
Not with the mean and vulgar works of Man;
But with high objects, with enduring things,
With life and nature; purifying thus
The elements of feeling and of thought,
And sanctifying by such discipline
Both pain and fear,—until we recognise
A grandeur in the beatings of the heart.
From Influence of Natural Objects in Calling Forth and Strengthening the Imagination in Boyhood and Early Youth by William Wordsworth (1770-1850)
A timeless scene, looking out over the River Swale and Richmond Castle in North Yorkshire. I spent many happy years in my boyhood and early youth playing here by the river. It looks the same as it ever did and certainly influenced my imagination :-)

Print description
This is a circa 1910 view of Spring Lake Park. The privately owned park was located about half a mile south of the Old National Road (US 40 today) between Greenfield and Indianapolis. I produced this print from a photograph and added the title. Spring Lake is a residential community today.
The Spring Lake interurban stop adjacent to the Old National Road made it easy for visitors to get to the park. The interurban line was originally owned by the Indianapolis & Greenfield Rapid Transit Company that was incorporated in 1899. It operated seven passenger and express cars and a work car on 17 miles of track east of Irvington.¹ However, the company name changed as a result of consolidation. A 1903 financial securities publication included the following information about the first phase of interurban railway consolidation between Indianapolis and Richmond.
“Indianapolis & Eastern Railway.—Incorporated under laws in 1902 as a consolidation of the Indianapolis & Greenfield Rapid Transit and the Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Co. Operates about 30 miles of track extending from Knightstown to Irvington, where it connects with the Indianapolis Street Railway, over whose tracks it operates into Indianapolis under a 31 year contract. An extension is being built to Dublin, Ind.”²
The Dublin extension became operational in 1905 and was the final interurban link between Indianapolis and Dayton, Ohio. The R. S. & I. (Richmond Street & Interurban) Railway Co. had already extended their line west to Dublin, and that 16-mile line connected with the Dayton & Western Traction Company system that operated between Richmond and Dayton, Ohio (40 miles). The following report was published in 1905.
“The remarkable extent to which construction and connection of electric railways in central Indiana and Ohio has been accomplished is well illustrated by an article in the Street Railway Journal, recording a trip of Indiana managers of electric roads, taken recently under the auspices of the Ohio Interurban Railway Association. The tour as made by the official party in special cars, starting from Indianapolis, covered a total of 781 miles, over which the actual running time was about 27 hours, giving an average speed of 27.96 miles per hour for the entire trip.³
That trip took the group east from Indianapolis, through Dublin and Richmond to Ohio, and brought them back to Indianapolis via that same route after visiting several Ohio cities.
In 1907, the T. H. I. & E. (Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern) Traction Company was formed via the consolidation of the I. & E., the R. S. & I. and several other central Indiana interurban companies. The T. H. I & E. ultimately operated one of the largest interurban systems in Indiana.

c1910 postcard view of the J. F. Winebrenner, Son & Company business in Huntington, Indiana. This elevator business is shown in the 1904 and 1912 Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets. A note on the 1904 map sheet says the elevator was built in 1900. It sat on an oddly shaped piece of land bounded the Wabash Railroad tracks on the north, Webster Street on the southeast, East State Street on the south and Warren Street on the west. These men were posing in front of the office that sat on Warren Street with the elevator immediately north (left in this view) of the office. The photographer was standing in Warren Street when the photograph was taken.
It isn’t clear how the SHEARER name above the elevator entrance relates to the business. There was a Shearer elevator in Huntington in the 1899-1900 period, but not at this location. In the early years of the 20th century, the I. F. Beard Grain and Coal Co. advertised their business at this location. The 1904 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set also showed that Beard operating the elevator at the Warren Street location. In 1904, there were storage buildings on the site for hay, coal, lime, cement and lumber.
In 1909, J. F. Winebrenner, Son, & Co. was advertising in the Huntington newspapers that they were the distributors for Scully Hard Coal. The 1912 Sanborn™ map set showed the change in ownership. It also showed the office having been converted from wood frame to brick veneer construction and the addition of flour storage. The corner of the flour storage building is visible at the left edge of this scene. The small oval sign visible through the window near the right edge of the postcard advertised POMEROY COAL.¬
The section of Webster Street between Byron and East State streets has been vacated and the Huntington County Jail now occupies the former elevator property in addition to land that was southeast of Webster Street.

My recollection is my wife and I were at Euston to travel up to Wolverhampton for a funeral.
With about 20 minutes to kill at Euston the camera came out to capture these pictures.

1912 postmarked postcard view of the railroad bridge over the Wabash River at Hillsdale, Indiana. The plaque states the bridge was built by the Union Bridge Co. of Athens, Pennsylvania. The year of construction is unclear. Bridgehunter.com identifies this as the Montezuma Railroad Bridge (bridgehunter.com/in/parke/bh45445/) and states the original construction date was in the 1890s . The shadows in this scene suggest the photographer was at the west end of the bridge near Hillsdale and facing east toward Montezuma. The 1955 USGS topographic map shows this was a B. & O. (Baltimore and Ohio) Railroad Bridge.

1909 postcard view of a new McIntyre truck in Auburn, Indiana. The postcard was postmarked in Auburn and addressed to Miss Hazel Beard in Angola. The sender’s note reads, “Had a ride around the city one day last week in this new McIntyre truck.”
The 1907 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Auburn shows the iron pedestrian bridge (upper left in this view) over 8th Street. According to that map set, the bridge connected W. H. Kiblinger & Co. Carriage Works buildings located on either side of Eighth Street and on the west side of Jackson Street. The truck in this postcard view was parked in the intersection and the photographer was facing southeast when he took this photograph.
Kiblinger had died in 1894, but W. H. McIntyre and a partner bought the company and retained the old name until 1908. McIntyre eventually became the sole owner of this and four other plants in Auburn where his Auburn Motor Chassis Co. produced McIntyre delivery trucks.
This postcard image is a cropped version of a larger photograph. The photograph shows Mr. McIntyre posing in front of this truck when the photo was taken. All of those men and women posing on the truck are probably company employees.
