George Washington "Carter" Shields, wounded and crippled for life in the April 1862 Battle of Shiloh in the American Civil War, married and moved to Kansas after the war. He returned to Cades Cove in 1906, bought this property in 1910, and lived here through 1921, after which he once more left the area [information from Cades Cove Tour booklet available at park visitor centers, and from Cades Cove Loop Road Auto Tour on line, and other materials]. Cades Cove Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 (77000111); contributing properties include three churches, Cable Mill, and various cabins and farms.

Swingboats used to be a common sight at small fairs around Britain in the 19th and early 20th centuries, up until the desire for new and faster rides began to take hold after the second world war. Swingboats were so popular that they gave root to the phrase “the fair is in full swing” — but nowadays there are only a few working examples left.

Keith Carter, a Texas native with a modest background, became a world-class artistic photographer. Many years later, he has not forgotten his roots; Carter still lives with his wife in Beaumont, Texas. He transforms the mundane details of small-town life into the sublime, revealing mystical, quirky, and difficult facets of human (and animal) nature.
Carter grew up watching his single mother scrape by as a child portrait photographer, but he never considered photography as a possible career for himself until college. At age twenty-one, the light in one of his mother’s prints caught his eye and inspired him to begin photographing his own pictures. For 15 years afterwards, he assisted his mother’s business around the state.
With no formal photography training, Carter learned to make art from a mentor and his own investigations. A local sculptor let him borrow from a private library of art books and literature. Carter would try to match the tonal range of famous photographs in his own prints. When he was twenty-five, he went to New York with special access granted to the archived prints at the Museum of Modern Art. He spent three weeks examining the work of great photographers first-hand.
Despite the lack of an artistic photography community in Texas at the time he began his work, Carter decided to make his home state the center of his artistic world. According to Carter, he “started looking at where I lived as an exotic land, almost as an allegory.” (Keith Carter Photographs, Introduction)
Carter is a husband and teacher. He is a professor at Lamar University and also teaches workshops. His work is represented around the world and in the permanent collections of many leading art museums.
Carter creates his images on the large, square negatives of a single-lens reflex Hasselblad camera. This camera allows him to make better quality large prints (even life-size), and the heavy machine is still small enough to operate as a hand-held device.
Blurring and limited depth of field are often incorporated into Carter’s work. This contributes to the mystery of his photographs, strongly emphasizes the area in-focus, and creates the sense that time and movement have just barely been captured for the viewer.
Keith Carter has published nine monographs, including Bones, Ezeikel's Horse, Mojo, and Holding Venus. People, especially children, and animals are frequently the subject matter of his pictures.
He says of his art, “These days I treat everything as a portrait, whether it’s a safety pin hanging from a string in a woman’s bedroom, or a man witching for water in a field. They’re the same.” (Keith Carter Photography, Fragments) Carter’s eye for unique portraiture is apparent in the way his work interacts with his subjects, often making the viewer ask questions. He draws on the emotional life of his subjects.
In addition to his portrait work and his fascination with the Texas landscape, Carter has a series entitled “Talbot’s Shadow”. These works, in which he places objects on sensitized paper and creates an image without a camera, have the same unsettling, beautiful quality as his photographs created in the camera.
I had a chance to shoot with Steffi Carter who is with the San Diego Ballet.
This was shot with a single Rotolight Neo with the factory supplied #250 Half White Diffuser (3/4 Stops).
The settings were f1.8, 1/80, ISO 800 and 85mm.

Lomography Fisheye + cheap Fuji 400 film.
back to Carters Steam Fair, a fantastic day out, as much for the vehicles and caravans as for the rides. This was taken the morning after the last day, when they were breaking down all the rides.
Shot a roll with my LCA only to lose the film. So the only pics I have are from the Fisheye (and some double exposures still to come). Bit annoyed about that...
Pre-war Allard Specials
The first Allard cars were built specifically to compete in Trials events – timed rally-like events on terrain almost impassable by wheeled vehicles. The first Allard was powered by a Ford flathead V8 in a body mostly sourced from a Bugatti racer. It used the American engine's high torque to great effect in slow-speed competition.
Further Allards were soon built to order with a variety of large, Ford-sourced engines, including Lincoln-Zephyr V12 powerplants. By the outbreak of war in 1939 twelve Allard Specials had been built. Sydney Allard's planned volume production was pre-empted by work on Ford-based trucks during the conflict. By its end, Allard had built up a substantial inventory of Ford parts.
Post-war Models
Using its inventory of easy-to-service Ford mechanicals built up during World War II and bodywork of Allard's own design, three post-war models were introduced: the J, a competition sports car; the K, a slightly larger car intended for road use, and the four seater L. Sales were fairly brisk for a low-volume car, and demand was high for cars in general, which led to the introduction of several larger models, the drophead coupe M and P.
J2
J2; this very car was third overall at Le Mans 1950
Sydney Allard soon saw the potential of the economically more vibrant – but sports car starved – US market and developed a special competition model to tap it, the J2. The new roadster was a potent combination of a lightweight, hand-formed aluminium body fitted with independent front suspension and de Dion type rear axle, inboard rear brakes, and designed for a Ford "flathead" V8. Allard's distinctive front suspension was produced by splitting the I-beam front axle in two to make swing axles, with long radius rods and a new feature, for their day, of inclined telescopic shock absorbers.[2][3] Importing American engines just to ship them back across the Atlantic proved problematic, so US-bound Allards were soon shipped engineless and fitted out in the States variously with newer overhead valve engines by Cadillac, Chrysler, Buick, and Oldsmobile. In that form, the J2 proved a highly competitive international race car for 1950, most frequently powered by 331 cubic inch Cadillac engines. Domestic versions for England came equipped with Ford or Mercury flatheads. Russian-American engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov, formerly of Ardun (named after founders Yura and Zora ARkus-DUNtov) where he designed and developed aluminium overhead valve hemi heads for flathead Fords, worked for Allard from 1950 to 1952 and raced for the factory Allard team at Le Mans in 1952 and 1953.[4]
Available both in street trim and stripped down for racing, the J2 proved successful in competition on both sides of the Atlantic, including a third place overall at Le Mans in 1950 (driven by Sydney Allard himself, who also placed first in the Monte Carlo Rally in 1952 driving an Allard P1 saloon car). Of 313 documented starts in major races in the 9 years between 1949 and 1957, J2's compiled a list of 40 first place finishes; 32 seconds; 30 thirds; 25 fourths; and 10 fifth place finishes.[5] Both Zora Arkus-Duntov (the first chief engineer for the Chevrolet Corvette) and Carroll Shelby (the creator of the AC Cobra) raced J2's in the early 50's. 90 J2's were produced between 1950 and 1952.[6]
In an effort to extend a line growing obsolete in the face of advances in sports car design, Allard introduced an 'improved' model in late 1951, the J2X (extended). In an attempt to improve handling, the front suspension's rear attaching radius rods were redesigned with forward ones, which required a forward cross member and extending the nose out past the front wheels. This, in turn, allowed the engine to be moved forward, yielding more cockpit room. There is often confusion when it comes to identification of J2 and J2X types because they are seemingly very similar. However, the most obvious differences are that the J2 nose does not extend past the front tyres and has two vents below the grille, while the J2X nose has a more protruding chin with a single vent below the grille, which, as explained extends out past the front tyres. Allard historian Tom Lush, who was Sydney Allard's Personal Assistant and Allard employee from the beginning, said in his definitive book "Allard: The Inside Story" that the chin was the most obvious difference between the two models. In standard form the spare wheel was carried hidden on top of the rear mounted fuel tank but either version could carry one or two side mounted optional spares. This allowed the use of a 40 gallon long distance fuel tank.
Arriving later during a time when sports racing car design was developing rapidly, the J2X was not as successful in international racing as the J2, as it was not as competitive when compared to more advanced C and later D type Jaguars, alongside Mercedes, Ferrari, and Maserati works entries. Thus, it headlined less often in major international races and of 199 documented major race starts in the 9 years between 1952 and 1960, J2X's garnered 12 first place finishes; 11 seconds; 17 thirds; 14 fourths; and 10 fifth places.
P1
Main article: Allard P1
1948 P1 Sports
Known more often than not simply as the Allard 3.6-litre Saloon, the P1 was a five-seat, two-door sports saloon produced between 1949 and 1952. The cars used Ford engines and transmissions, and included a "Sports" model.
In 1952 an Allard P1, driven by Sydney Allard himself, along with Guy Warburton, won the Monte Carlo Rally. Tom Lush was the navigator.
M-Type
1949 M-type Drophead Coupé
The M-Type was offered in 1948 and 1949 as a Drophead Coupé.
Clipper
Main article: Allard Clipper
1954 Clipper
The 1953 Clipper was an attempt to cash in on the era's burgeoning microcar market. A tiny glass-fibre bodied car powered by a rear mounted 346 cc Villiers twin cylinder motorcycle engine, it claimed to seat three people abreast with room for two children in an optional Dicky seat. About 20 were made.
Palm Beach
Main article: Allard Palm Beach
Palm Beach (1952–59)
Allard introduced the 4- and 6-cylinder Palm Beach roadster in 1952. Built until 1958, the MkI was only available with four- or six- cylinder engines. A Mark II was introduced in 1956, it could be had with a six-cylinder 3.4-litre (3442 cc) Jaguar engine.
K3
1953 K3
Also in 1952, Allard adapted the Palm Beach in a K3, an attempt to offer a more civilized variant of the J2 and J2X models seen at the track. Exported to America as a potential "Corvette slayer" Dodge dealers had been clamoring for, it featured one of the most powerful engines of its era, the 331 cu. in. Chrysler hemi engine, fitted with a pair of 4-barrel carburetors.[7] Essentially a rebodied Palm Beach, it failed to find a niche in either market in spite of its performance. Today the exceptionally rare automobile can fetch the better part of a quarter million dollars (US) at auction.[7]
Allard P2 Safari
1953 P2 Safari
In an attempt to further extend its line, Allard adapted its P1 saloon to produce the 8 seater, wood sided, V8 engined, P2 Safari Estate. It too found weak sales.
Decline
Insufficient research and development meant that Allard failed to keep up with cheaper and more technically advanced cars. The Palm Beach was essentially a year behind its competitors, the K3 failed to live up to expectations, and the Safari Estate could not find a market.
By the mid-fifties Allard was struggling to remain solvent. The market was weak due to a late-'50s US recession
Sydney Allard's son, Alan Allard, marketed the Allardette 105, 109, and 116, using the straight four cylinder engine from the Ford Anglia and other Ford models.
In 1966 Sydney Allard died on the same night that an arsonist destroyed the Clapham factory and some of the Allard Motor Company factory records. The Allard factory site in Clapham is now a housing co-operative association, but the showroom and workshop in Putney remains as a car dealership.
I realize the photoshopping wasn't too good this time, but it was a rush job.

This house was built by John Carter and his son, Landon, between 1775 and 1780 on lands bought from the Cherokee Indians. It is believed to be the oldest frame house in the state of Tennessee and the first house to have glass windows. Carter County, Tennessee, is named for Landon Carter. Elizabethton (pronounced eh-liz-uh-BETH-tun) is named in honor of his wife, Elizabeth. More information is available here.

MHV 539L - Fitted with a generator, this well presented truck was seen by me at Beacon Park, Lichfield, Staffordshire in July 2018.
Carters Steam Fair are no longer travelling the country, the last time they visited Lichfield was in July 2021.
I am not sure what they will be doing with their vehicles, some of which, I undersand, will be sold off.
A great number of recreational and commercial vessels are visibly moored in the many bays and coves along the Nova Scotia coastline during the summer and parts of the adjacent seasons. This one in the Terence Bay area particularly caught my eye because of its clean and tidy design and unusual and lovely color coordination.
