Ok, I am paying a zillion Euros per month for this pro account, so I should upload something...,
My first photo shooting in ages. Good, the camera is not a gun, I would have shot a foot or so.
This is my friend's old Commodore Adding Machine. ´from the 1960s. Older than him! And that's how I spend quite a bit of time, nowadays... taking care of old machinery. Just for fun. Not for getting rich ;-)
When an unknown sender sends you an email you will be given the option to add this person as a contact for future use. This is sent in the form of a notification to encourage organization of contacts. The process is as pictured:
1) Notification of a pending contact is show in the bulk area. This notification brings you to the pending contacts page.
2) The pending contacts page lists all pending contacts, and the actions you can make on them. In certain cases it will suggest that you merge the new contact with an existing contact if a match is found. This is particularly useful for contacts who have multiple email addresses and accounts set up. If you choose not to merge you can create a new contact, mark the sender as bulk, or hide a spammer.
3) Upon adding a new contact you will be given the option to add more details about said contact. Press finished to add the contact.

Built in 1822, this Federal and Greek Revival-style house was built for Henry P. Wilcox, whom served as the postmaster of Marietta, and was purchased by General Henry P. Wilcox in 1837, remaining in the Wilcox family until the 1930s. Between 1837 and 1850, the house was renovated multiple times, adding the Greek Revival-style portico and additional wings to the rear, expanding it to its present size and form. The house is clad in flemish bond brick with a front-gable roof, a two-story gabled rear ell, twelve-over-twelve, six-over-six, and three-over-three double-hung windows, entrance doors with fanlight transoms, a two-story front portico with doric columns, and a fanlight attic window on the front gable. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and is a contributing structure in the Marietta Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and expanded to its present size in 2001. Since 1937, the house has served as the official home of the President of Marietta College.
When I saw that face
among the flowers in my garden
peeking out at me, I smiled.
It was just an ordinary peony
a moment ago...
How could this be?
I had never seen
a flower that resembled
a human face,
especially
one that whispered,
"I love you."
Suddenly, I realized
that I had been deceived
by the one eyed priest
whose God did not reside
in Nature's Paradise.
And then,
I said aloud
to the face in the floral crowd,
"I love you too,"
and knew
I had communed
with God...
c. Douglas Fireman
A touch of paint, and some
shaping helped to create
the face in the peony on the right.
I want to remember this view always, especially when summer rolls around and we're back to the desert.

Some of you may have noticed that, unfortunately, owing to the fact that a certain person who sells truck photos on eBay commercially has been lifting my images from this album and selling them I have had to remove 2300 photos that didn't have a watermark. I have now run around 1700 through Lightroom and added a watermark with the intention of bulk uploading them again. Rather than watermark the existing (hidden) files in Flickr one at a time it will be easier to do it this way. I definitely won’t be adding individual tags with the make and model of each vehicle I will just add generic transport tags. Each photo is named after the vehicle and reg in any case. For anyone new to these images there is a chapter and verse explanation below. It is staggering how many times I get asked questions that a quick scan would answer or just as likely I can’t possibly answer – I didn’t take them, but, just to clarify-I do own the copyright- and I do pursue copyright theft.
This is a collection of scanned prints from a collection of photographs taken by the late Jim Taylor A number of years ago I was offered a large number of photographs taken by Jim Taylor, a transport photographer based in Huddersfield. The collection, 30,000 prints, 20,000 negatives – and copyright! – had been offered to me and one of the national transport magazines previously by a friend of Jim's, on behalf of Jim's wife. I initially turned them down, already having over 30,000 of my own prints filed away and taking space up. Several months later the prints were still for sale – at what was, apparently, the going rate. It was a lot of money and I deliberated for quite a while before deciding to buy them. I did however buy them directly from Jim’s wife and she delivered them personally – just to quash the occasional rumour from people who can’t mind their own business. Although some prints were sold elsewhere, particularly the popular big fleet stuff, I should have the negatives, unfortunately they came to me in a random mix, 1200 to a box, without any sort of indexing and as such it would be impossible to match negatives to prints, or, to even find a print of any particular vehicle. I have only ever looked at a handful myself unless I am scanning them. The prints are generally in excellent condition and I initially stored them in a bedroom without ever looking at any of them. In 2006 I built an extension and they had to be well protected from dust and moved a few times. Ultimately my former 6x7 box room office has become their (and my own work’s) permanent home.
I hope to avoid posting images that Jim had not taken his self, however should I inadvertently infringe another photographers copyright, please inform me by email and I will resolve the issue immediately. There are copyright issues with some of the photographs that were sold to me. A Flickr member from Scotland drew my attention to some of his own work amongst the first uploads of Jim’s work. I had a quick look through some of the 30 boxes of prints and decided that for the time being the safest thing for me to do was withdraw the majority of the earlier uploaded scans and deal with the problem – which I did. whilst the vast majority of the prints are Jims, there is a problem defining copyright of some of them, this is something that the seller did not make clear at the time. I am reasonably confident that I have since been successful in identifying Jims own work. His early work consists of many thousands of lustre 6x4 prints which are difficult to scan well, later work is almost entirely 7x5 glossy, much easier to scan. Not all of the prints are pin sharp but I can generally print successfully to A4 from a scan.
You may notice photographs being duplicated in this Album, unfortunately there are multiple copies of many prints (for swapping) and as I have to have a system of archiving and backing up I can only guess - using memory - if I have scanned a print before. The bigger fleets have so many similar vehicles and registration numbers that it is impossible to get it right all of the time. It is easier to scan and process a print than check my files - on three different PC’s - for duplicates. There has not been, nor will there ever be, any intention to knowingly breach anyone else's copyright. I have presented the Jim Taylor collection as exactly that-The Jim Taylor Collection- his work not mine, my own work is quite obviously mine.
Unfortunately, many truck spotters have swapped and traded their work without copyright marking it as theirs. These people never anticipated the ease with which images would be shared online in the future. I would guess that having swapped and traded photos for many years that it is almost impossible to control their future use. Anyone wanting to control the future use of their work would have been well advised to copyright mark their work (as many did) and would be well advised not to post them on photo sharing sites without a watermark as the whole point of these sites is to share the image, it is very easy for those that wish, to lift any image, despite security settings, indeed, Flickr itself, warns you that this is the case. It was this abuse and theft of my material that led me to watermark all of my later uploads. I may yet withdraw non-watermarked photos, I haven’t decided yet. (I did in the end)
To anyone reading the above it will be quite obvious that I can’t provide information regarding specific photos or potential future uploads – I didn’t take them! There are many vehicles that were well known to me as Jim only lived down the road from me (although I didn’t know him), however scanning, titling, tagging and uploading is laborious and time consuming enough, I do however provide a fair amount of information with my own transport (and other) photos. I am aware that there are requests from other Flickr users that are unanswered, I stumble across them months or years after they were posted, this isn’t deliberate. Some weekends one or two “enthusiasts” can add many hundreds of photos as favourites, this pushes requests that are in the comments section ten or twenty pages out of sight and I miss them. I also have notifications switched off, I receive around 50 emails a day through work and I don’t want even more from Flickr. Other requests, like many other things, I just plain forget – no excuses! Uploads of Jim’s photos will be infrequent as it is a boring pastime and I would much rather work on my own output.
