Allright Fuggers... you may want to sit down before continue reading this. All good things must come to an end, I just didn't see this one coming.
Oshin had filed for legal separation due to artistical differences. Apparently my latest change in schedules and the lack of activities in Flickerverse had impacted our socially recognized familial interactions which in turn resulting the need for Oshin to start her own Photostream in order for her to channel her creativity. Also to my surprise, Oshin had secretly contacted the most fearsome sharky lawyer *narly since she will be claiming most of the shots posted on Flickr as her own intellectual property so she can copyright them for herself.
I suppose I have the option of hiring my own lawyer, preferably the sleazy one to protect my own interests. Then again, any lawyers will do ;)
I hope this answers a lot of questions that have been surfacing on my photostream regarding the lack of Oshin's participation on my 365Days shot. I like to stay positive and may have to go with a pre-arbitration settlement for an undisclosed amount of milkbones in order to keep things the same. Keep your fingers crossed fuggers!

Series : Last Orders - last ones from the series!
From a site of two derelict buildings in the dOKUMENTA city of Kassel that over 40 years ago housed BIER GROSSHANDLUNG NEUENHAGEN, a wholesale German beer distribution company.
A dear flickr contact who runs a construction company in the process of clearing out and renovating this site generously provided me access to photograph on August 16, 2012.
"Last Orders" is what pub owners call out to their customers, a few minutes before closing time.

***************
This set of photos is based on a very simple concept: walk every block of Manhattan with a camera, and see what happens. To avoid missing anything, walk both sides of the street.
That's all there is to it …
Of course, if you wanted to be more ambitious, you could also walk the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. But that's more than I'm willing to commit to at this point, and I'll leave the remaining boroughs of New York City to other, more adventurous photographers.
Oh, actually, there's one more small detail: leave the photos alone for a month -- unedited, untouched, and unviewed. By the time I actually focus on the first of these "every-block" photos, I will have taken more than 8,000 images on the nearby streets of the Upper West Side -- plus another several thousand in Rome, Coney Island, and the various spots in NYC where I traditionally take photos. So I don't expect to be emotionally attached to any of the "every-block" photos, and hope that I'll be able to make an objective selection of the ones worth looking at.
As for the criteria that I've used to select the small subset of every-block photos that get uploaded to Flickr: there are three. First, I'll upload any photo that I think is "great," and where I hope the reaction of my Flickr-friends will be, "I have no idea when or where that photo was taken, but it's really a terrific picture!"
A second criterion has to do with place, and the third involves time. I'm hoping that I'll take some photos that clearly say, "This is New York!" to anyone who looks at it. Obviously, certain landscape icons like the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty would satisfy that criterion; but I'm hoping that I'll find other, more unexpected examples. I hope that I'll be able to take some shots that will make a "local" viewer say, "Well, even if that's not recognizable to someone from another part of the country, or another part of the world, I know that that's New York!" And there might be some photos where a "non-local" viewer might say, "I had no idea that there was anyplace in New York City that was so interesting/beautiful/ugly/spectacular."
As for the sense of time: I remember wandering around my neighborhood in 2005, photographing various shops, stores, restaurants, and business establishments -- and then casually looking at the photos about five years later, and being stunned by how much had changed. Little by little, store by store, day by day, things change … and when you've been around as long as I have, it's even more amazing to go back and look at the photos you took thirty or forty years ago, and ask yourself, "Was it really like that back then? Seriously, did people really wear bell-bottom jeans?"
So, with the expectation that I'll be looking at these every-block photos five or ten years from now (and maybe you will be, too), I'm going to be doing my best to capture scenes that convey the sense that they were taken in the year 2013 … or at least sometime in the decade of the 2010's (I have no idea what we're calling this decade yet). Or maybe they'll just say to us, "This is what it was like a dozen years after 9-11".
Movie posters are a trivial example of such a time-specific image; I've already taken a bunch, and I don't know if I'll ultimately decide that they're worth uploading. Women's fashion/styles are another obvious example of a time-specific phenomenon; and even though I'm definitely not a fashion expert, I suspected that I'll be able to look at some images ten years from now and mutter to myself, "Did we really wear shirts like that? Did women really wear those weird skirts that are short in the front, and long in the back? Did everyone in New York have a tattoo?"
Another example: I'm fascinated by the interactions that people have with their cellphones out on the street. It seems that everyone has one, which certainly wasn't true a decade ago; and it seems that everyone walks down the street with their eyes and their entire conscious attention riveted on this little box-like gadget, utterly oblivious about anything else that might be going on (among other things, that makes it very easy for me to photograph them without their even noticing, particularly if they've also got earphones so they can listen to music or carry on a phone conversation). But I can't help wondering whether this kind of social behavior will seem bizarre a decade from now … especially if our cellphones have become so miniaturized that they're incorporated into the glasses we wear, or implanted directly into our eyeballs.
Oh, one last thing: I've created a customized Google Map to show the precise details of each day's photo-walk. I'll be updating it each day, and the most recent part of my every-block journey will be marked in red, to differentiate it from all of the older segments of the journey, which will be shown in blue. You can see the map, and peek at it each day to see where I've been, by clicking on this link

If you have any suggestions about places that I should definitely visit to get some good photos, or if you'd like me to photograph you in your little corner of New York City, please let me know. You can send me a Flickr-mail message, or you can email me directly at ed-at-yourdon-dot-com
Stay tuned as the photo-walk continues, block by block ...
Spanish cromo. Transatlantic Film. Exclusivas Verdaguer SA, Barcelona. Chocolat Imperiale, Barcelona. No. 5 of 6 cards. Carmel Myers in the romantic comedy The Dream Lady (Elsie Jane WIlson, Universal 1918), based on the novel Why Not? by Margaret Widdener. Spanish title: ¿Por qué no..?
Plot: Orphan Rosamond (Carmel Myers) grows up on her own, without friends, but she has a vivid imagination. Using a small but substantial inheritance, heroine Rosamond Gilbert (Carmel Myers) sets up a fortune-telling business. No mere charlatan, Rosamond is a "true believer," and she hopes to use her crystal ball to make her customers' dreams come true. Her first client is Sydney Brown (Kathleen Mereson), a young woman who, unhappy in love, expresses the desire to become a man. Rosamond dresses the girl in male garb and arranges for her to go into business with her former boyfriend James Mattison (Harry von Meter), who one day confesses he would love to marry a girl with Sydney's qualities... Rosamond also advises her neighbor, John Squire (Thomas Holding), to invest with a certain Jerrold (Philo McCullough), who proves to be a cheat, but John finds out just in time, forgives Rosamund, and in love with her, even asks her to marry him. As Marrying a gentleman was on Rosamund's to do list, she eagerly accepts.This delightfully daffy confection was designed primarily to capitalize on the charms of Carmel Myers, and in this respect it was a success. (Source: Hall Erickson on AllMovies; Italian Wikipedia; isitinterestingblog.wordpress.com/2019/07/20/the-dream-la...). Considered first a lost film, a print was found and preserved by Les Archives di Film (CNC, Bois d'Arcy, France).

Tell me how many beads there are
In a silver chain
Of evening rain,
Unravelled from the tumbling main,
And threading the eye of a yellow star: -
So many times do I love again.
~Thomas Lovell Beddoes
When love is not madness, it is not love. ~Pedro Calderon de la Barca
Ah me! love can not be cured by herbs. ~Ovid
I love thee - I love thee,
'Tis all that I can say
It is my vision in the night,
My dreaming in the day.
~Thomas Hood
For you see, each day I love you more
Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.
~Rosemonde Gerard
Who, being loved, is poor? ~Oscar Wilde
Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place. ~Zora Neale Hurston
A bell is no bell 'til you ring it,
A song is no song 'til you sing it,
And love in your heart
Wasn’t put there to stay -
Love isn’t love
'Til you give it away.
~Oscar Hammerstein, Sound of Music, "You Are Sixteen (Reprise)"
Come, let's be a comfortable couple and take care of each other! How glad we shall be, that we have somebody we are fond of always, to talk to and sit with. ~Charles Dickens
Let all thy joys be as the month of May,
And all thy days be as a marriage day.
~Francis Quarles
Grow old with me! The best is yet to be. ~Robert Browning
All things do go a-courting,
In earth, or sea, or air,
God hath made nothing single
But thee in His world so fair.
~Emily Dickinson
When the one man loves the one woman and the one woman loves the one man, the very angels desert heaven and come and sit in that house and sing for joy. ~The Brahma Sutras
We're all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness - and call it love - true love. ~Robert Fulghum, True Love
No one can say that they do not enjoy receiving the “likes” on their feed. But I enjoy the comments more—comments which explain why they like or dislike something. I don’t mind negative comments really. If we only receive kudos and no criticisms then we will never grow.
In America, I learned the arts of being “politically correct.” The problem with that stance is that I never really know what people are trying to tell me. I prefer direct and open communication. Sometimes it does hurt quite a bit, but it only hurts when we have ego. Once we remove the self-pride (which is one of the seven deadly sins), there is nothing to be hurt about.
I would much rather you tell me that you don’t like something than telling me that “it’s nice” but secretly hating it.
Please criticize me in my face and tell me you absolutely dread this crap that I am posting. If you tell me, I will correct my course and post relevant content that is of interest to you. Of course I could also agree to disagree with you.
Feedbacks—good or bad—are always good. There is no such thing as constructive vs destructive criticisms. For me, criticisms are always good. It is always feedback. But elaborate feedback are better, because we know the why.
Have an opinion. Elaborate.

I thought about how horrible it is when you HAVE to take a new photo for passports, ID etc and how hard it is to look normal... Two years ago when I had to stay an extra night at the airport in Paris (it was a strike) the man at the hotel said to me when looking at my passport photo: "Why not?" I'm still not sure what he really meant, but I'm glad I got a room :)
I used a tripod and timer for these four shots, half way standing and sitting in the sofa away from the window (so none of the neighbours could see what I was doing).
Light source = sun through the window
Adjusting exposure and colours in RAW
Added 50% gradient map in PhotoShop (yeah, you should try it) to make the colours softer and less intense. 100% makes it B&W. And off course - I used PhotoShop making it into a "photo ID look".
