"Because we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender"
- Bruce Springsteen, "No Surrender"
Shot in the late 1970s on tri-x. I didn't keep great records when I was in High School and College so I don't know the exact date. The photograph was taken in Bay Ridge Brooklyn, New York. I'm always inspired by people being active as they age especially back in 1970s. A cold day and the men are outside playing cards. As I age I appreciate this more and more.
While touring the Chambord Chateau, I noticed this tiny lady negotiating the very same intimidating staircase that I was on! She was moving very slowly and with great deliberation. I was fearful and fascinated at the same time, and noticed that same look on several nearby faces...including my husband’s! While you can’t tell from my photo because I wanted to focus on Madame, there were several men who quietly moved in and were ready to prevent disaster. No worries! We all breathed a collective sigh of relief when she reached the ground floor, and tottered off without a backward glance at all her would-be castle knights! “One of the architectural highlights is the spectacular open double spiral staircase that is the centrepiece of the château. The two spirals ascend the three floors without ever meeting, illuminated from above by a sort of light house at the highest point of the château. There are suggestions that Leonardo da Vinci may have designed the staircase, but this has not been confirmed.”
Nishiki Market, Kyoto, Japan
Taken in 2015. Every year there are fewer and fewer of these old-style stalls selling food - eggs, vegetables, etcetera - and other household items to locals. Every year there seem to be more and more stalls selling cooked food items such as things on skewers to the hordes of visitors who flock to Nishiki. That's progress, I guess. As one of those visitors, I can't deny my part in it.

Happy Birthday Dorothy Rose. A standing ovation. That's what she deserves just for getting up the stage. Dorothy Rose does more than that. She sings with vigour and strength not usually associated with little, white hair, 98 year old lady (yes, Ninety-Eight in late July). She is not just sitting lonely at home, but gets up and goes where they play her music. She was a regular at Chick'n'Deli and still sings with Climax Jazz Band. Hopefully, I will see her and hear her again soon. She now sings for her neighbours during Covid19 shutdown. On this photo she is at the Rex and joined Red Hot Ramble to sing few tunes. Trombonist RJ is obviously enjoying the performance. Dorothy Rose died on 28. Oct. 2022 at the age of 100. Life well lived!
