The words of Lord Tennyson adorn the cornerstone of the soon to be opened $28 million Robarts Research Institute Building. On August 6, 1986 RRI Board Chairman J. Allyn Taylor shakes hands with London Mayor Tom Gosnell who along with Dr. Henry Barnett (rear) participated in the cornerstone laying ceremony near the entrance to the building. Named in honor of the late Premier of Ontario, John Robarts, the Institute, once Canada’s only independent research facility, is now part of the University Medical School and continues important pioneering research into heart disease, stroke, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.

Did they move this?
I took this photo of this memorial bench a few years ago in the pocket park at the National Archives at Kew. I didn't really look at it until lately and it's only now occurred to me that this bench would not have been here in 1974 and indeed the archives-called the Public Record Office at the time-were not here either but located in Chancery Lane.
The PRO building there still exists (now used by Kings College) and has a garden so I assume this bench was moved from there and placed here in the 1990s which is quite touching.
They have been doing some work on the park at Kew so I must go and see if it's still there!
The Bishop of Canterbury, Most Reverend A. M. Ramsey, unveiled a plaque commemorating the founding of Huron College 100 years earlier during a ceremony at the College. The plaque, fastened to the north wall of the College is one of more than 300 that have been erected during 1963 throughout Ontario by the Department of Travel and Publicity. It was an interesting coincidence that Ramsey was the 100th person to hold the title, Bishop of Canterbury.

This was taken a few years ago, approximately 2000. It was taken from my front yard toward Mt Alban Road.
We started off with a round of Ice Storm then we had snow on top of that.
It was one of the few times we had snow around Christmas Time.
Shame the tray is burned out - but this was on tranny film, so probably not much I could have done about it !

For almost thirty years the administration had tried unsuccessfully to provide adequate campus cafeteria and banquet facilities. The cramped smelly cafeteria in the physics building and its successor, Fingal Hall with its renowned roach population proved most unsuitable for elegant dining. Many events were catered off campus and prominent guests were often wined and dined in the neighboring Hunt Club facilities. This all changed in 1955 with the completion of Somerville House with it’s Great Hall, private dining areas and a separate faculty club.

I dug through the archives tonight and found all of my Grimes Line prints--a total somewhere around 60. Like I said, most are pretty bad [quality and photographically]. I'm glad to have the memories though.
Late in the evening, the 2971 arrives the south end of town...

This was from awhile ago when she was setting on my deck looking at me watching her out the laundry room window.
Magyar Országos Levéltár - National Archive, Budapest, Hungary
The Hungarian National Archive had no proper building since its foundation in 1756. The decision to create a building for the archives was made in 1912 but the building was only finished in 1923. During the works some old military barracks were demolished near the Gate of Vienna.
The architect, Samu Petz created a Neo-Romanesque, Neo-Gothic palace similar to the Parliament or the former Ministry of Finance building. The Archive suffered heavy damage during the siege of Budapest. Near the Gate of Vienna and in the west wing many storage units were burned down. The main tower of the palace collapsed and it was never rebuilt. The reconstruction ended in 1956 - when the west wing was hit again
with heavy weapon fire and three storage rooms were consumed by the flames.
The interior reconstruction was finished in 1965 but some smaller caliber impacts are still visible on the main facade.
Adidas archive size? exclusive issue 04
graphic designer: Gary Watson
scanned image of zine.
The designer works for Adidas originals, more specifically the SPZL project where they bring back classic trainer silhouettes from the 80s casual scene.the trainers have some miner tweaks to keep up modern climate and materials that are now more widely available such as Gore-Tex.
Watson photographs the trainers amongst relics from the 80's like the Nokia brick phone and film cameras but he paints them white to adhere the futuristic ideology of the future, I believe he does this to hint that the shoes are future proof and modern classics as if they have been cryogenically frozen for a re-release.
nostalgia recurs a lot in design as it brings the viewer back to a era in their life when times were simpler, an example is the Hacienda Factory 51 club designs bright chevrons as they draw the viewers eye even if you don't know where it derived from.

I recently found and blog-published a piece I wrote on my son's weaning. Here are some pictures from that time in our lives.
