A pilot takes a walk while the plane is refueled. A black and white film shot from the 1950's - 60's. It's a U.S. Army Douglas C-54. Another of pop's pics from the shoebox.

This picture goes along with a shot I did of myself with a bird on my back, is part of a larger collection of images that have to do with animals. I love photographing birds because they are so symbolic, and because I have always felt connected with nature. It allows me to combine these two loves into a series of photos that are meaningful to me.
I shot this one at 6am one morning. Asking Christopher to hop into the pond was a bit much (40 degrees - cold for LA, and filled with the droppings of birds) but he happily did it and then smelled a little for the next few hours :-P Later this day we went out to shoot another image in an old Victorian style lobby of office buildings...didn't get caught by some miracle but also didn't get the shot I wanted, so I'll be going back there again :)

Just a few doors away from our apartment was a pub called the Pilot. We didn't go in - it only served drinks, not food, and it looked too small to take Harbie in. It looked pleasant though, with its views across to the bay.
Difficult start, car broke down twice, car park gates shut,freezing cold, roller broke...blimey!!! Anyway painted this wall alongside Airborne Mark, top day in the end and good meeting WINK and Kev.
Quite nice for me to try new things, and letters are one of them, so tried to form them from the gas coming from the Spectre, works ok i guess!
Blair's mother Eleanor is famous for her parties. Blair isn't ready to give her place as Queen B back to Serena, who used to be Queen S, before she ran away, that is.
The painted stone tablet on the wall of the pub reads “CEYLON PLACE New East Greenwich 1801” which probably dates it as the oldest surviving building on the Greenwich Peninsula. The name probably relates to the Treaty of Amiens of 1802, which seceded Ceylon to Britain. The Pilot concerned is likely William Pitt the Younger, ‘The Pilot who weathered the storm’.
Next to the pub is a row of eight cottages that were constructed for workers at a tidal mill and chemical works that was located adjacent to the north. They are grade II listed and these days are better known for their use as the backdrop to Blur’s ‘Park Life’ music video.

This minor cult film stars Cliff Robertson and gained a following via aviation buffs for its detailed, apparently realistic scenes of pre-flight preparations. The story, about a veteran airline pilot's battle with the bottle, provides its share of 70s-style melodrama. Korea Media release is quite rare now.

Blair and Chuck having a good time in Chuck's limo, foreshadowing when the later hook up in Chuck's limo in episode seven: Victor/Victrola.
Blair has sushi with Nate after he tells her about his affair with Serena, and he easily persuades her to take him back, on the condition that he not speak to Serena ever again. Unlikely.
Blair and Nate have been together forever, but Nate slept with Blair's best friend Serena, over a year ago, and Blair doesn't know. Serena left the day after it happened, fleeing to a lenient boarding school without so much as a goodbye to her supposed best friend Blair. Now she's back, and Nate's ready to drop Blair to be with Serena.
A cabinet card portrait of John Boyle O'Reilly from around 1885 by Holland, 10 Temple Place, Boston.
O'Reilly was an Irish born poet and novelist who was sentenced to deportation to Western Australia for his part in the Fenian Rising of 1867. He subsequently managed to escape from captivity and made his way to America where he settled in Boston. He found work with a Boston newspaper, The Pilot, later becoming editor and part owner. He died in August 1890, possibly from an overdose of sleeping medicine.
The Cry of the Dreamer
by John Boyle O'Reilly
I am tired of planning and toiling
In the crowded hives of men;
Heart-weary of building and spoiling,
And spoiling and building again.
And I long for the dear old river,
Where I dreamed my youth away;
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in a day.
I am sick of the showy seeming
Of a life that is half a lie;
Of the faces lined with scheming
In the throng that hurries by.
From the sleepless thoughts' endeavour,
I would go where the children play;
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a thinker dies in a day.
I can feel no pride, but pity
For the burdens the rich endure;
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives of the poor.
Oh, the little hands too skillful,
And the child-mind choked with weeds!
The daughter's heart grown willful,
And the father's heart that bleeds!
No, no! from the street's rude bustle,
From the trophies of mart and stage,
I would fly to the woods' low rustle
And the meadows' kindly page.
Let me dream as of old by the river,
And be loved for the dream alway;
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in a day.

Very informative handbill, positively loaded with information about this new service available to early 19th century newspaper readers in Belfast.
Dublin and London newspapers would be available to read at the Newspaper Lending Office at 63, Great Patrick Street (and at other locations where demand arose) for a charge of 1d per hour, and this was apparently a generous time allotment, as the handbill states that 15 minutes was regarded as ample in London. Requests from five readers was sufficient to have additional titles procured, while used newspapers could be bought for half price on the day after arrival, or despatched to Country Subscribers at a similarly cheap rate.

Pilot Cinema, Kings Lynn. Apparently soon to be demolished and replaced with a housing scheme, the Pilot Cinema operated as such between 1938-83. It had 800 seats more-or-less all on one level (stadium plan) - the rear section, designated the circle, was raised up and separated from the stalls but did not overhang at all. It had an attractive auditorium in the art deco style, which appears to have been totally destroyed since the cinema closed.
Demolition began a couple of weeks after these photos were taken.

Lovely Fuller's pub just south of the Dome, on a street once called "Ceylon Place". The original houses still exist but do not seem to be occupied anymore. The pub has since undergone a refurb to simply The Pilot, but is still rather nice. (View of refurbed interior.)
Address: 68 River Way (formerly at Ceylon Place, Blackwall Lane, and at Marsh Lane).
Owner: Fuller Smith Turner (website).

The Citgo sign
A large, double-faced sign featuring this logo overlooks Kenmore Square, and has become a famous landmark, partly because of its appearance in the background of televised Red Sox baseball games. The current 60-foot (18 m) by 60-foot (18 m) incarnation, unveiled in March 2005 after a six-month restoration project, features thousands of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that turn off at 1:00 AM. LEDs were selected for their durability, energy efficiency, intensity, and ease of maintenance. Earlier versions featured neon lighting; the previous sign contained some 5,878 glass tubes with a total length of over 5 miles (8 km).Citgo, which is a subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela S.A., refers to its logo as the "trimark".
The first sign, featuring the Cities Service logo, was built in 1940, and replaced with the trimark in 1965. In 1979, Governor Edward J. King ordered it turned off as a symbol of energy conservation. Four years later, Citgo attempted to disassemble the weatherbeaten sign, and was surprised to be met with widespread public affection for the sign and protest at its threatened removal. The Boston Landmarks Commission ordered its disassembly postponed while the issue was debated. While never formally given landmark status, it was refurbished and relit by Citgo in 1983 and has remained in operation ever since. In 2005, during a major renovation, the neon lights of the Citgo sign were removed and replaced with a light-emitting diode display.
There is no associated Citgo gas station—the sign is now a historical landmark, visible over the left field wall of Fenway Park during most televised Boston Red Sox games. It was highlighted in the 1968 short film Go, Go Citgo and a 1983 Life Magazine photograph feature. The association with Fenway and the Red Sox is so strong that local little league fields often are decorated with replicas of the Citgo sign, as is Hadlock Field in Portland, Maine. The sign is caricatured in Neal Stephenson's 1984 book The Big U as "the Big Wheel sign", worshipped by members of a fictional American Megaversity fraternity.
In September 2006, Jerry McDermott, a Boston city councillor, proposed that the sign be removed in response to Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez's insults toward American President George W. Bush. McDermott also suggested draping an American flag or Boston Red Sox banner over the sign until Chávez is out of office.
On October 15, 2008, a small electrical fire inside the sign caused approximately $5,000 worth of damage, partially melting the plastic and leaving visible smoke damage.[6]

Last Friday, TAC and WEI organised "Armut macht Geil", a no-budget art festival.
I was asked to do something with an old orange Ford van. I made an online call for cardboard art and above you can see the harvest.
Most of the works are given away, or will be left behind on the streets for a lucky finder.
