This mysterious collection of images have been discovered within the photographic collections of Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums.
Reference: TWCMS -H13098-73-5
The lantern slides are from a series titled 'Psychic Photography From A New Angle' and feature eerie images of the supposedly paranormal and unknown forces caught on camera.
Very little is known of the origins of this collection. The slides were designed to accompany a lecture by a Mr C.P. MacCarthy of 15 Wilkinson Street, Sheffield.
Mr MacCarthy produced the images under test conditions in 1934 in front of an invited committee at 76 Clarkehouse Road, Sheffield. He states the intention was to ‘demonstrate under test conditions Fake Psychic Photography’ to this committee.
Mr MacCarthy states his three reasons for this demonstration.
1.To prove the possibility of Fake under test conditions.
2.To show you cannot be too critical of such phenomena.
3.To indicate the increasing scope for fraud with the probability of genuine spirit photography.
Mr MacCarthy further guarantees ‘in the sum of five pounds, payable to any charitable institution, that no collusion exists, or has existed between myself and any other party in connection with this demonstration.’
Little is currently known of the Psychic demonstration. Who sat on the invited committee? Who was Mr MacCarthy? Why was he investigating Psychic Photography?

The TLDR version: As a response to my grief and stress — and the world missing out on smiles due to pandemic mandates — I decided to paint smiles for masks 😷😀.
BROKEN
About this image:
All my life I have had the need to create. I have done quite a bit of tile work at my home. It is some of my art. I will have to leave this — something that still gives me joy every day — leave this all behind.
”Broken” is a painting that replicates some of my tile work. Every piece of “tile” is painted individually and to resemble the broken pieces I used, for example, in my bathroom. The patterns on each tile are the different patterns that I have been drawing since Russi’s death. My heart breaks to know I may never see the original again.
I have often commented on my fellow flickr friends when they create during pain or a crisis, how I admire that. I realize how cathartic it can be, how healing it can be. I am broken hearted right now and stayed away from flickr today. Then I realized how healing creating can be. I have hope in my pain and I know I am not alone. We are all broken, to some extent and I am thankful there is a Healer we can lean on.
A broken gate overlooking Dovestone reservoir. I was trying to get some movement in the low cloud on the hills, but it didn't stray too far from its original position.
This week’s theme, Broken, was a fun prompt and one that had me out exploring old and new places. I ended up choosing a photo that is from a place i’ve explored for years and one that I have photographed many times, all in different ways.
This “broken” greenhouse is in my neighbors yard and was built in the early 1900’s along with the garden surrounding it. The garden and obviously the greenhouse started to crumble years ago until my neighbor invested the money into restoring it. They left the greenhouse as is for a reason unknown to me. Even though its broken down, falling apart, and filled with glass from when it was in use, I love the way the ivy has taken over and the rust has begun to discolor it. Part of me wishes it had been restored, but the other part loves to look at it and think about what it was like in use. Not to mention its one of my favorite places to take pictures.

Benny's house building on my space base has evolved again. It is now a three floor Classic Space Embassy, with plenty of room for workers, lots of old '80's style computers, a break room, a meeting room with a very long table, a huge wall mounted supercomputer, and a communications dish that would get the Death Star jealous. But don't think that with all this technology this is a faction base of evil, because you would be very wrong! This is a home for the all the classic space astronauts, no matter what shape they are in: be it broken helmet chinstraps, worn printing, missing air-tanks, or even cracked limbs, they will take in the most downtrodden and disused of astronauts and have them working like it's 1978 all over again.
The Classic Space Foundation - not a charity, but a chance!
Saw this "Broken Beauty" while hiking yesterday - I like the heart shape it gives. It feels great to be hiking these trails again !!

From a Clydeside that rusts from the tears of it's broken men
From the realisation that all we've been left behind
Is to stand like our fathers before us in the firing line

Granddaughter on her customized 4-wheel knee scooter. Has rear brakes, basket, thumb ringer bell, sheepskin saddle cover, and handlebar streamers • Broke her leg, just above the ankle, by stepping in a field hole while walking home from school. The broken leg, in a plastic cast, rests on the saddle while the other leg walks & pushes the scooter.
