Launch
‘A NEW COASTER The new steamer Jack [Our Jack] was launched on Wednesday [30th October 1907] from Mr. J. Wright's shipyard at Tuncurry, Cape Hawke. The new vessel has a length of 138 ft; beam, 28 ft; depth, moulded, 7ft 3 in. She is intended for the coastal timber trade, and has a carrying capacity of 90,000 ft. She is to be towed to Sydney next week to have her engines fitted, which have been constructed by Messrs. Chapman and Co. The vessel was christened by Miss Annie Wright [the owner's daughter]. After the launching Mr. Wright entertained a large number of visitors at a banquet. The health of Mr. Wright was drunk and "Success to the new ship and the ship building industry of Cape Hawke."’ Newcastle Morning Herald and Miners' Advocate (NSW : 1876 - 1954) - Friday 1 November 1907
Commissioning
A NEW COASTAL STEAMER - OUR JACK IN COMMISSION.
The new twin-screw steamer Our Jack, which has just been completed at Sydney, will to-day commence her trading career in the service between Sydney and Newcastle. She is a handy and strongly-built little vessel of 272 tons gross, and of 152 tons net, and although she is intended primarily for the coal [coastal] trade, she has been fitted with accommodation for a limited number of passengers. Our Jack was built at the yards of Mr. John Wright, at Tuncurry, Cape Hawke, and is of hardwood throughout. She is 133ft in length, with a beam of 28ft; her depth of hold being 6ft 8in. Upon being launched at Cape Hawke she was towed some weeks ago to Sydney, where she has been supplied by Messrs. Chapman and Co. with two sets of compound-surface condensing engines, the diameters of the cylinders being 10in and 20in respectively, with a stroke of 16 inches. The boilers were also made and fitted by the same firm of engineers.’
Our Jack was taken for her official trial trip on Saturday afternoon last [8th February 1908], when she maintained an average speed of 8½ knots. Among those on board were Messrs. John Wright, Allen Taylor, Nicholas Cain, and Captain Grainger. The machinery worked very smoothly throughout, and there was an entire absence of vibration. One of the features of the new vessel is her exceptionally large hatches, and she is well adapted for carrying heavy loads on deck. Our Jack was yesterday registered (through the office of W. S. Clarke and Son, shipping brokers), in the names of John Wright, Ernest Wright, Henry Osmond Wright, and Stanley Gordon Wright, as Joint owners. Captain James Hunt, formerly master of the steamer Bellinger, and for many years engaged in the coastal trade, has been appointed to the command of Our Jack.

Operation
Over the periods 1908 - 1921 Our Jack was regularly engaged in the timber trade from NSW North Coast ports to Sydney and Newcastle. She frequently assisted in operations other than directly in the timber trade.
In May 1909 she transported the launch Mona from her builder William Dunn’s shipyard in Berry’s Bay to her new owner Charles Bowers. Bowers was active in developing the “Tourist Route” to Forster/Tuncurry – the Mona was a key to the success of the route.
In July 1909 Porters’ sawmill at Tuncurry was totally destroyed by fire. Crews from Our Jack and Astral were able to save stacks of timber on the wharf.
In April 1910 she was observed at Harrington towing the disabled steamer Hastings until temporary repairs were effected, allowing her to continue to Port Macquarie.
In May 1913 she played a critical role in attempting to save the Ellerslie that had been stranded at the entrance to the Bellinger River. In the process of attempting to re-float the Ellerslie the Our Jack became stuck herself but fortunately floated off at high tide. It was evident, however, that she had sustained serious damage, and arrived at Camden Haven on Sunday leaking badly and in distress.
WRECK OF THE OUR JACK
On 26th June 1921, Our Jack was bound from Nambucca to Sydney, with a cargo of hardwood, sprang a leak and became so helpless in a gale, that she was abandoned on Sunday morning near Old Bar at the mouth of the Manning River. She carried a crew of 14, who left in one boat. Nine of them were picked up by the North Coast Steam Navigation Company's steamer Brundah and were brought to Sydney. The survivors were:
- Paul Casaar (chief engineer),
- Harry Rudder (first engineer),
- Albert Dale (fireman),
- William Gray (fireman),
- A. Anderson (fireman),
- O. Paulsen (seaman),
- J. Elovita (seaman),
- W. Linden (seaman),
- B. Foster (cabin boy).
The names of those drowned were:
- Captain Alexander Forbes,
- Workman, seaman,
- C. Neilsen, seaman
- J. Erikson, seaman,
- C. J. Hillston, cook.
Four of the survivors from Our Jack were, on reaching Sydney, taken to hospital for treatment for injuries received when the upturned boat to which they were clinging was dashed by the waves against the sides of the steamer Brundah.
RESCUERS' WORK RECOGNISED
“At a large gathering of the directors and staff of the North Coast S.N. Co. on Friday, Captain Richard Purdy, master of the steamer Brundah, was presented with an inscribed gold watch in recognition of the part played by the captain in saving the lives of the crew of the steamer Our Jack, which foundered off Port Stephens on June 26 last. Sir Allen Taylor, chairman, of the board of directors, commended the splendid seamanship of Captain Purdy in manoeuvring to pick up the shipwrecked crew. The crews of the Brundah were presented with a bonus of £100 in recognition of their services.”

Shot for Active Assignment Weekly, theme "In the style of Yasuhiro Ogawa".
WIT Just like Felix, I had sudden snow during our long weekend stay in Berlin. It was magnificent and of course we also took a day trip in the city on bicycle. In that snow... It was great.
I edited the shot in what I think to be the style of Yasuhiro Ogawa. Made some of it darker, some I lit up (especially the umbrella) and I added a Dutch Angle. It was a fun assignment!

Collection
The foundation of the collection consists of 205 mostly French and Dutch paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries which Margravine Karoline Luise acquired 1759-1776. From this collection originate significant works, such as The portrait of a young man by Frans van Mieris the Elder, The winter landscape with lime kiln of Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, The Lacemaker by Gerard Dou, the Still Life with hunting equipment and dead partridge of Willem van Aelst, The Peace in the Chicken yard by Melchior de Hondecoeter as well as a self-portrait by Rembrandt van Rijn. In addition, four still lifes of Jean Siméon Chardin and two pastoral scenes by François Boucher, having been commissioned directly by the Marchioness from artists.
A first significant expansion the museum received in 1858 by the collection of canon Johann Baptist von Hirscher (1788-1865) with works of religious art of the 15th and 16th centuries. This group includes works such as two tablets of the Sterzinger altar and the wing fragment The sacramental blessing of Bartholomew Zeitblom. From 1899 to 1920, the native of Baden painter Hans Thoma held the position of Director of the Kunsthalle. He acquired old masterly paintings as the tauberbischofsheim altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald and drove the expansion of the collection with art of the 19th century forward. Only his successors expanded the holdings of the Art Gallery with works of Impressionism and the following generations of artists.
The permanent exhibition in the main building includes approximately 800 paintings and sculptures. Among the outstanding works of art of the Department German painters of the late Gothic and Renaissance are the Christ as Man of Sorrows by Albrecht Dürer, the Carrying of the Cross and the Crucifixion by Matthias Grünewald, Maria with the Child by Lucas Cranach the Elder, the portrait of Sebastian Brant by Hans Burgkmair the elder and The Nativity of Hans Baldung. Whose Margrave panel due to property disputes in 2006 made it in the headlines and also led to political conflicts. One of the biggest buying successes which a German museum in the postwar period was able to land concerns the successive acquisition of six of the seven known pieces of a Passion altar in 1450 - the notname of the artist after this work "Master of the Karlsruhe Passion" - a seventh piece is located in German public ownership (Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne).
In the department of Dutch and Flemish paintings of the 16th century can be found, in addition to the aforementioned works, the portrait of the Marchesa Veronica Spinola Doria by Peter Paul Rubens, Moses strikes the rock and water flows for the thirsty people of Israel of Jacob Jordaens, the still life with kitchen tools and foods of Frans Snyders, the village festival of David Teniers the younger, the still life with lemon, oranges and filled clay pot by Willem Kalf, a Young couple having breakfast by Gabriel Metsu, in the bedroom of Pieter de Hooch, the great group of trees at the waterfront of Jacob Izaaksoon van Ruisdael, a river landscape with a milkmaid of Aelbert Jacobsz. Cuyp as well as a trompe-l'œil still life of Samuel van Hoogstraten.
Further examples of French paintings of the 17th and 18th centuries are, the adoration of the golden calf of Claude Lorrain, preparations for dance class of the Le Nain brothers, the portrait of Marshal Charles-Auguste de Matignon by Hyacinthe Rigaud, the portrait of a young nobleman in hunting costume of Nicolas de Largillière, The storm of Claude Joseph Vernet and The minuet of Nicolas Lancret. From the 19th century can be found with Rocky wooded valley at Civita Castellana by Gustave Courbet, The Lamentation of Eugène Delacroix, the children portrait Le petit Lange of Édouard Manet, the portrait of Madame Jeantaud by Edgar Degas, the landscape June morning near Pontoise by Camille Pissarro, homes in Le Pouldu Paul Gauguin and views to the sea at L'Estaque by Paul Cézanne further works of French artists at Kunsthalle.
One focus of the collection is the German painting and sculpture of the 19th century. From Joseph Anton Koch, the Kunsthalle possesses a Heroic landscape with rainbow, from Georg Friedrich Kersting the painting The painter Gerhard Kügelgen in his studio, from Caspar David Friedrich the landscape rocky reef on the sea beach and from Karl Blechen view to the Monastery of Santa Scolastica. Other important works of this department are the disruption of Adolph Menzel as well as the young self-portrait, the portrait Nanna Risi and The Banquet of Plato of Anselm Feuerbach.
For the presentation of the complex of oeuvres by Hans Thoma, a whole wing in 1909 at the Kunsthalle was installed. Main oeuvres of the arts are, for example, the genre picture The siblings as well as, created on behalf of the grand-ducal family, Thoma Chapel with its religious themes.
Of the German contemporaries of Hans Thoma, Max Liebermann on the beach of Noordwijk and Lovis Corinth with a portrait of his wife in the museum are represented. Furthermore the Kunsthalle owns works by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, Carl Spitzweg, Arnold Böcklin, Hans von Marées, Wilhelm Leibl, Fritz von Uhde, Wilhelm Trübner and Max Klinger.
In the building of the adjacent Orangerie works of the collection and new acquisitions from the years after 1952 can be seen. In two integrated graphics cabinets the Kupferstichkabinett (gallery of prints) gives insight into its inventory of contemporary art on paper. From the period after 1945, the works Arabs with footprints by Jean Dubuffet, Sponge Relief RE 48; Sol. 1960 by Yves Klein, Honoring the square: Yellow center of Josef Albers, the cityscape F by Gerhard Richter and the Fixe idea by Georg Baselitz in the Kunsthalle. The collection of classical modernism wandered into the main building. Examples of paintings from the period to 1945 are The Eiffel Tower by Robert Delaunay, the Improvisation 13 by Wassily Kandinsky, Deers in the Forest II by Franz Marc, People at the Blue lake of August Macke, the self-portrait The painter of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, the Merzpicture 21b by Kurt Schwitters, the forest of Max Ernst, Tower gate II by Lyonel Feininger, the Seven Deadly Sins of Otto Dix and the removal of the Sphinxes by Max Beckmann. In addition, the museum regularly shows special exhibitions.
Sammlung
Den Grundstock der Sammlung bilden 205 meist französische und niederländische Gemälde des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts, welche Markgräfin Karoline Luise zwischen 1759 und 1776 erwarb. Aus dieser Sammlung stammen bedeutende Arbeiten, wie das Bildnis eines jungen Mannes von Frans van Mieris der Ältere, die Winterlandschaft mit Kalkofen von Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, Die Spitzenklöpplerin von Gerard Dou, das Stillleben mit Jagdgeräten und totem Rebhuhn von Willem van Aelst, Der Friede im Hühnerhof von Melchior de Hondecoeter sowie ein Selbstbildnis von Rembrandt van Rijn. Hinzu kommen vier Stillleben von Jean Siméon Chardin und zwei Schäferszenen von François Boucher, die die Markgräfin bei Künstlern direkt in Auftrag gegeben hatte.
Eine erste wesentliche Erweiterung erhielt das Museum 1858 durch die Sammlung des Domkapitulars Johann Baptist von Hirscher (1788–1865) mit Werken religiöser Kunst des 15. und 16. Jahrhunderts. Zu dieser Gruppe gehören Werke wie zwei Tafeln des Sterzinger Altars und das Flügelfragment Der sakramentale Segen von Bartholomäus Zeitblom. Von 1899 bis 1920 bekleidete der aus Baden stammende Maler Hans Thoma die Position des Direktors der Kunsthalle.

Von Joseph Anton Koch besitzt die Kunsthalle eine Heroische Landschaft mit Regenbogen, von Georg Friedrich Kersting das Gemälde Der Maler Gerhard Kügelgen in seinem Atelier, von Caspar David Friedrich das Landschaftsbild Felsenriff am Meeresstrand und von Karl Blechen den Blick auf das Kloster Santa Scolastica. Weitere bedeutende Werke dieser Abteilung sind Die Störung von Adolph Menzel sowie das Jugendliche Selbstbildnis, das Bildnis Nanna Risi und Das Gastmahl des Plato von Anselm Feuerbach.
Für die Präsentation des Werkkomplexes von Hans Thoma wurde 1909 in der Kunsthalle ein ganzer Gebäudetrakt errichtet. Hauptwerke des Künstlers sind etwa das Genrebild Die Geschwister sowie die, im Auftrag der großherzöglichen Familie geschaffene, Thoma-Kapelle mit ihren religiösen Themen.
Von den deutschen Zeitgenossen Hans Thomas sind Max Liebermann mit Am Strand von Noordwijk und Lovis Corinth mit einem Bildnis seiner Frau im Museum vertreten. Darüber hinaus besitzt die Kunsthalle Werke von Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, Carl Spitzweg, Arnold Böcklin, Hans von Marées, Wilhelm Leibl, Fritz von Uhde, Wilhelm Trübner und Max Klinger.

Conowingo Dam, Maryland
This trip was one of the most active I've seen there. On a mild day at the end of March. I remember Fall time, around Thanksgiving every year, the eagle numbers were at their highest, but it seems like the shad run that happens in the beginning of Spring is a bigger event now.
Really been trying to get caught up with culling and final edits from 2024 photos. These Eagle photos were taken in Conowingo Dam Park in March...Guess since we are now in December I can share them.
This trolley was built by the J.G Brill Company in Philadelphia, PA in 1926. Retired in 1976, it now resides in Scranton, PA as part of the Electric City Trolley Museum collection in active excursion service.
In this scene, the conductor chats with a passenger before boarding the next trip out the Laurel Line.
The conductors on these excursions are Delaware Lackawanna Railroad employees and motormen are Museum employees. I briefly spoke with the conductor who said he also works other jobs on the DL including freight but noted this trolley service is his job 9 months out of the year. I didn't ask but I'll bet his seniority on the DL conductor list is a low single digit, possibly even a narrow one oriented in a vertical direction...
Active Weekly Assignment (Mar. 1-8, 2021) - "There is a number in my photo"
For this assignment, I wanted to find some numbers outside rather then arranging something at home. My girlfriend had the idea that the single spaces in parking decks are often numbered, so I made a tour through the different parking decks in my town (turns out only half of them actually have numbers).
There are only two numbers but at least they consist of six digits, I hope that counts :).
Post-processing: Apart from cropping and the obvious conversion to b&w I adjusted the brightness, mostly by playing around with the "filmic rgb" and "tone equalizer" modules of Darktable which I learned about just recently and are trying to master now.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) joined their active duty and Reserve Officer Training Corps brothers and sisters in welcoming tens of thousands of spectators to the Florida Classic, one of the nation’s largest football rivalries between two historically black colleges: Bethune–Cookman University and Florida A&M University.
In the hours leading to the opening kickoff Nov. 19, 2016, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla., the Soldiers helped members from the Army Marketing Research Group encourage BCU and FAMU fans to test their strength, endurance and mental aptitude in various interactive activities featured at the Go Army booths. The troops motivated men and women from all walks of life to set personal records for planks, pullups and pushups. They also lent a hand in several creative challenges that emphasized teamwork and critical thinking.
Many of the thousands of fans who waited for their turn to don blindfolds, solve puzzles or perform pullups spoke with the troops about their training, experience and aspirations. While these casual conversations opened opportunities to introduce potential recruits to the Army’s robust enlisted and Reserve Officer Training Corps programs, they also fostered greater respect and understanding about the Army’s role in developing strong communities and mutually beneficial partnerships both at home and abroad.
The fans’ energy, enthusiasm and camaraderie also demonstrated that the Florida Classic and the U.S. Army share common values. Their sincere interest in learning about the Army’s vision, capabilities and career opportunities exemplified how rivalries on the gridiron can shape resilient individuals who possess the character qualities to lead and mentor men and women on the battlefield.
Several Soldiers received complimentary access to the field during the game. Army Master Sgt. Shantell D. Aviles, noncommissioned officer-in-charge, Office of the Inspector General, 143d ESC, watched many Florida Classic football games during her childhood and teenage years. Although she and her family were no strangers to seeing the game from the stands, Aviles had never before set foot on the sidelines. With a smile never left her face, she took full advantage of the exclusive press pass to take photos with the mascots, shake hands with the drum majors, and cheer her FAMU Rattlers from the endzone.

The smaller of Meridian's active subwoofers, the SW1600 features a 300mm long-throw custom driver for superb power handling, with the amplifier and power supply to match. With both analogue and digital inputs it is ideal for systems of either type.
The SW1600 features a sealed cabinet, for maximum flexibility in positioning, whether free-standing or as part of a built-in installation. It is ideal as a mono subwoofer for a Meridian Digital Theatre system, in particular to give exciting cinema effects and added realism to movies. The SW1600 is optimised for both music and movie soundtrack applications and integrates seamlessly into a system.
The recommended configuration for music is to use two subwoofers, one for each of the main left and right channels, for a superb stereo image. In a large system, multiple subwoofers can be employed to provide even more impressive effects.
Taken for Active Assignment Weekly - Magical
When I read the assignment I was super excited because it allowed and almost begged for lots of photoshop work. Then of course I couldn't come up with an idea and the week passed and I had nothing.
I was super impressed with all the "closet" photoshop users in the group, and think you all should use it more often ;-)
Anyways, I was super fortunate that my wife was willing to not only model for this shot, but to dress up for it too! I guess when all was said and done it was just a scarf on her head but still, to her credit, she tried on a few different things first.
WIT: For the crystal ball, I finally put mine to use. I purchased it a while ago for those cliche inverted image shots and never really liked how they turned out. I tried 3 different methods for lighting it. An SB600, a small halogen lamp and finally a table lamp (which is what I ended on). I had my wife hold it behind the ball to illuminate it.
For the "Witchy Woman" (now I can't stop singing that song) I got rid of the crystal ball and just had my wife put her hands around the bare bulb as if it were the crystal ball.
Then in CS4 I layered the two shots together. All in all, it was a whole lot of setup and very little photoshop. Thanks for looking!

Terracotta, Early Classical, ca. 460-450 B.C.E., Attributed to the Manner of the Sotades Painter
Remains of two figures on the cuff.
The predilection for vases in figural form continued throughout the fifth century B.C.E. During the middle of the century, the workshop of the Sotades Painter was the most active and creative source. Whereas head vases, occasionally with two heads conjoined, were popular in the 490s and 480s, the next generation of artists introduced the conceit of combining the heads of different animals, in this case, a donkey and a ram. Th painter scene probably showed a satyr and a maenad.
