The Amish. Their closed and little-known world, along with strict rules of conduct, generate curiosity and a desire to learn more about this "forbidden" or hidden way of life. The Amish are a unique example of the preservation of a traditional culture and way of life over centuries, which is of ethnographic and historical interest.
Their existence without the internet, smartphones, and cars in the 21st century is a striking contrast to a globalized, technologically dependent world. This evokes wonder and a desire to understand how this is possible.
Nostalgia for simplicity: For many, Amish life evokes simpler times, subsistence farming, strong family ties, and a strong sense of community, something lacking in today's individualistic society.
A curiosity familiar to many brought me to this unique place. Today, I begin my photo report from the Amish village, located in Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum.

A curiosity familiar to many brought me to this unique place. Today, Here is my photo essay from the Amish village located at the Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum.
I recently received a box of exposed photographic dry plates shot in the late 1800s. The plates, made by the M.A. Seed Dry Plate Company, are photographic negatives on glass since plastic didn’t exist at the time. We can date them because, in 1902, M.A. Seed became part of the burgeoning Eastman Kodak Company. Plates sold after 1902 would have borne the Kodak brand. Remarkably, despite being around 130 years old, these plates have held up well. They were faded with age and showed some minor damage from handling and fungus. Each plate was meticulously cleaned and restored before being scanned. Once we had high resolution digital images they were brought into ON-1 @on1photo where missing emulation, scratches and other damage were repaired. This was our first restoration since switching entirely to ON-1 and it was highly successful! ON-1 alone gave me all the tools that previously required three separate applications.
We don’t yet know who these people are. Their names may be lost to time, but we’ve had instances in the past where someone recognized a face, allowing us to eventually reunite the photographs with the descendants. It’s likely these individuals were a family that lived in the Vancouver area around 1900.
If you want to see the images and the restoration process, use this link to the full story www.sollows.ca/photographic-plates-from-1890s-restored/ If you have any tips or think you recognize anyone in these photos, please let me know. Special thanks to Chris @stepback_ca for rescuing these precious plates.

I like trains...although I know nothing about them. They have always fascinated me with their power, speed and noise...

This is Kohl......aka “Painintheass”! She adopted me about 3 years ago. She has a coat like thick, soft, rabbit fur and a relentless penchant for getting as high up on things as she possibly can get. Here, she is on top of my circa 1826 stepback cupboard in the kitchen sitting with some of the stars i have collected over the past couple of years. Stars are a favorite shape of mine and i decided to make my kitchen theme stars. i even have star drawer ad cabinet pulls! (I also like <3’s, but that i am saving for another room.)
Here, it appears that i am getting Kohl’s version of Lileigh’s, “OH, SNAP....” face, because i woke her up....somehow i feel no remorse, since that seems to be one of her favorite jobs in the middle of the night when I am trying to sleep! As it is, i get a postage stamp sized piece of the mattress, and have to sleep curled into a ball, so her relentless efforts in the night are hardly appreciated. Altho she is a stubborn and persistent cat, she is an excellent mouser....and slayer of cave crickets that make their way up into my studio room from the basement (and positively paralyze me with fear).... for those things i am grateful.......she earns her keep, as annoying as she is in other ways! Happy Thursday!

A familiar scene to me, so it was a challenge to keep stepping back for a wider shot. But I do like how the layered leaves are framing the waterfall. 41/52

one of my most favorite pictures from childhood
me and my closest cousins watching the July 4th parade
right past the front yard of my parents' first house
we moved right around my 4th birthday
but I still have very vivid memories of this annual happening
it was a really big deal
And since 1929 that of countless other people who have served London Transport as this is the view, not often seen, from the west of 55 Broadway the now vacant and sold headquarter's building of transport in London. Built over St James's Park tube station and on a site associated with the Underground's main offices since the 1880s the current Grade 1 Listed building was designed by the Group's consultant architect Charles Holden under the patronage of Frank Pick. Described as "London's First Skyscaper" it was very American in detailing and construction and was the tallest secular building in London for several decades. Holden, working with a difficult site both in terms of shape and location, chose to construct a series of stepbacks on all of the four wings, moving the focus of the structure towards the 13 storey tower that dominates the structure. Steel framed and clad in Portland stone the quite austere exterior is detailed incredibly well - Holden knew that the stone would weather in certain ways and chose to accentuate the details to allow this. There are also eight in-situ sculptures at seventh floor level, two each of the 'four winds'. They are by a total of six artists (including three by Eric Gill and a superb one by Henry Moore) and these compliment the two scultures on the ground floor podium by Jacob Epstein. The architecture is very Holden - an Arts & Crafts man with a strong classicist puritanism, and there are many echoes of his earlier works such as for the Imperial (now Commonwealth) War Graves Commission. Having been involved with Holden's buildings for nearly 30 years this isn't an 'art deco' building but more restrained. Oddly the next three years would see his work go two ways for his two major clients; the University of London got this building writ large in Bloomsbury whilst for the Underground (to become London Transport in 1933) they got a stunning series of buildings that took much from contemporary North European architecture both in terms of style and materiality - against, lttle detail but all about massing, proportionality and the handling of interior space and light.
Anyhow - its not just my old office now as the building has been vacated and so a long chapter in the history of London Transport comes to an end and TfL just fades into some sort of architectural miasma. Behind can be seen the skyline of Westminster and the South Bank - LT used to be at the centre of things!
Dublin Bus' AV1 glides down Eden Quay operating Route 127 to Clare Hall,November 2004.
This was an excellent week for the Dublin Enthusiast, Harristown had just opened and the first tranche of routes had been moved around,AV1 went from Clontarf to Harristown. However AV1 only lasted a handful of weeks there,with a swap with RV575 seeing it go to Ringsend, where it lasted until withdrawl in 2013.To date AV1 was last reported with Ensign Bus,updates on it's current whereabouts welcome.
Route 127 in the meantime was a peak time route,operating from Leeson Street to Clare Hall/Donaghmeade,lasting until August 2008.

The Kansas City Power and Light Building is crowned by prismatic glass panels concealing red-orange lights that glow each evening at sunset. Originally, each recessed stepback of the building also held alternating multicolor flickering flood lights that dazzled nighttime viewers with the impression of blazing flames.[2] Today, only the lantern on the top the structure is illuminated by this effect.
The Kansas City Power and Light Building (also called the "KCP&L Building" and the "Power & Light Building") is a landmark skyscraper located in Downtown Kansas City, Missouri. Construction was completed in 1931, as a way to promote new jobs in Downtown, and since then, the Art Deco Kansas City Power and Light Building has been a prominent part of the Kansas City skyline.

Another one found in the old shoebox,Donnybrook's RV329 leaves Dublin Heuston Station on a Route 92 working,February 2005.
For it's first 6 months or so Route 92,marketed as a "Luas Link" briefly,ran between St.Stephens Green and Heuston Station mainly using branded WV's,operated out of Donnybrook Depot. Double Decks & VL's appeared on the route from time to time.
Summer 2005 saw the route move to Conyingham Road Depot,where it ran until September 2010,then merging with Route 145.
RV329 in the meantime had 3 more years at Donnybrook,and is currently P767 SWC with Citysightseeing Windsor (Bath Bus Group).
IDS Center... Because of the peculiar and unique stepback design, termed "zogs" by its architect, Philip Johnson, each floor has a maximum of 32 corner offices.
For Week 41, the challenge was to step back.
After a weekend of ill children, I wasn't feeling particularly inspired. But I really did need to go for a long walk. The long walk helped and I found a family of swans - actually two - along the river.
I had a little chuckle to myself later on as I was forced to step back by a rather aggressive swan...
If not you are more than likely to get splashed on!!

I shot this week's project 52 in Nantucket. It was pretty hard to choose just one image as everything is deserving of a "step back." I did manage to choose one though–and I think its a pretty good one.
I was amazed by the homes in Nantucket. They were simply breathtaking. I initially stopped at this house because I loved the little sign hidden in the bushes, but after stepping back, I realized the fence was slanted. A mistake I suppose, but a kind of cool one. I also love the contrast of the green bushes surrounding the slanted fence.

stepped out of work for a much needed break. sometimes i get sucked up into it and stepping out clears my head. makes it reasonable to go back in :)

The monetary crisis in 1997 brought significant impact towards people's life. In Indonesia, people were startled with the high prices of rice and other basic life needs. Inflation was inevitable. This part of the museum shows how that time was an immense stepback of Indonesia's economy.
