Crazy Tuesday - theme of September 6, 2022: libraries and books
Happy Crazy Tuesday !
I will catch up in the evening
…
Oh, and it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm trying to get some rest
(from: “American Tune” by Paul Simon)
Simon and Garfunkel's “Concert in Central Park” war die erste CD des Sekretärs (“American Tune” ist Stück Nr. 9). Henri Cartier-Bressons Bildband “America in Passing” sah er auf seiner ersten Dienstreise in Bilbao in der Auslage einer Buchhandlung gleich neben seinem Hotel und konnte einfach nicht widerstehen.

Simon and Garfunkel's "Concert in Central Park" was Secretary's first CD ("American Tune" is track #9). He saw Henri Cartier-Bresson's photobook "America in Passing" on his first business trip to Bilbao in the display of a bookstore right next to his hotel and simply could not resist.
Eine kleine Hommage des Sekretärs an Erich Salomon (* 28. April 1886 in Berlin, † 7. Juli 1944 in Auschwitz) war einer der Väter, wenn nicht DER Vater, des modernen Fotojournalismus in der Zeit nach dem ersten Weltkrieg. Zu seinem Markennamen gehörte der Doktortitel (der Rechtswissenschaften), und so vermarktete er seine Bilder als «Dr. Erich Salomon». Berühmt wurde er vor allem durch seine Aufnahmen von Politikern und den zahlreichen diplomatischen Konferenzen dieser Zeit sowie des «Völkerbunds».

A small tribute by the Secretary to Erich Salomon (* April 28, 1886 in Berlin, † July 7, 1944 in Auschwitz) was one of the fathers, if not THE father, of modern photojournalism in the post-World War I era. His brand name included a doctorate (of law), and so he marketed his images as "Dr. Erich Salomon." He became famous mainly for his photographs of politicians and the numerous diplomatic conferences of the time, as well as the "League of Nations".
Auch in diesen zum Reisen wirklich nicht idealen Zeiten kann der Sekretär nicht aufhören, Pläne zu schmieden...
---
Even in these times, which are really not ideal for traveling, the secretary cannot stop making plans...
Den Spanischen Bürgerkrieg hatte er überlebt, auch den zweiten Weltkrieg (wo er unter anderem am D-Day die erste Welle der Landungstruppen begleitet hatte). Am 25. Mai 1954 setzte Robert Capa (eigentlich Endre Ernő Friedmann, André Friedmann oder auch Andrei Friedmann), für viele DER Kriegsfotograf seiner Zeit, in Thái-Bình in Französisch-Indochina seinen Fuss auf eine Antipersonenmiene.
---
He had survived the Spanish Civil War, also World War II (where, among other things, he had accompanied the first wave of landing troops on D-Day). On May 25, 1954, Robert Capa (actually Endre Ernő Friedmann, André Friedmann or also Andrei Friedmann), for many THE war photographer of his time, set his foot on an anti-personnel mine in Thái-Bình in French Indochina.
Gelegentlich nimmt der Sekretär bei beruflichen Veranstaltungen die Rolle des «Hoffotografen» ein. Dann versucht er mal mehr und mal weniger erfolgreich, unsichtbar zu sein ohne sich zu verstecken, mittendrin zu sein und doch als Beobachter daneben zu stehen, und insgesamt dem grossen Vorbild Dr. Erich Salomon (1886 – 1944) nachzueifern, den etwa Arisitide Briand (1862 – 1932, französischer Politiker, Friedensnobelpreis 1926 gemeinsam mit Gustav Stresemann) spöttisch wie anerkennend als «Roi des indiscrets» bezeichnete (angeblich auf dem gezeigten Bild, als er ihn gerade entdeckt hatte).
---
Occasionally the Secretary takes the role of the "royal photographer" at professional events. Then he tries, sometimes more and sometimes less successfully, to be invisible without hiding, to be in the middle of it all and yet stand beside as an observer, and all in all to behave like the great role model Dr. Erich Salomon (1886 - 1944), whom, for example, Arisitide Briand (1862 - 1932, French politician, Nobel Peace Prize in 1926 together with Gustav Stresemann) mockingly as well as appreciatively called the "Roi des indiscrets" (allegedly in the picture shown, when he had just spotted him).
Mit der Anschaffung eines Elmar 3.5cm f3.5 zusätzlich zum Summar 5cm f2 und Elmar 9cm f4 ist die Leica-Ausrüstung des Sekretärs komplett (zumindest bis auf Weiteres...). Nun brennt er darauf, mit der guten alten Leica IIIb, den Objektiven und etwas weiterem Zubehör durch die Strassen und Gassen zu schlendern.
---
With the purchase of an Elmar 3.5cm f3.5 in addition to the Summar 5cm f2 and Elmar 9cm f4, Secretary’s Leica gear is complete (for the time being, at least...). Now he is eager to stroll through the streets and alleys with his good old Leica IIIb, the lenses and some additional acessories.
Der Sekretär arbeitet halb-ernsthaft an einem ziemlich verrückten Projekt: seinem ersten Buch.
Die Aufnahmen in “writing on the wall” sind teilweise in Farbe und teilweise in Schwarzweiss. Teilweise wurden sie mit halbwegs zeitgemässen Kameras aufgenommen, teilweise mit verschiedenen älteren analogen Modellen.
Professionell gestaltet von des Sekretärs Tochter, hat er nun zwei Musterexemplare bei einem Hersteller hochwertiger Fotobücher herstellen lassen – einfach, um es einmal in die Hand zu nehmen und ein Gefühl zu bekommen, wie es wirken könnte. Ganz zaghaft fängt er nun an, nach möglichen Verlagen zu schauen.
Hier sieht man Pedro bei einer ersten Durchsicht. Er findet es recht interessant.

Secretary is working semi-seriously on a rather crazy project: his first book.
The photographs in “writing on the wall” are partly in color and partly in black and white. They were partly taken with reasonably modern cameras, partly with various older analog models.
Professionally designed by Secretary's daughter, he has now had two sample copies produced by a manufacturer of high-quality photo books - simply to hold it in his hand and get a feel for how it might look. Very tentatively, he is now starting to look for possible publishers.
Here you can see Pedro taking a very first look. He finds it quite intersting.
Es hat (erwartungsgemäss) nicht lange gedauert, bis Pedro des Sekretärs "neue" Kamera für sich entdeckte. Nun hat er sich noch einen Bildband und Reiseführer der Bretagne geangelt und schmiedet in seinem (und des Sekretärs) Lieblingssessel Reisepläne...
---
As expected, it didn't take long for Pedro to discover Secretary's "new" camera. Now he has also picked up an illustrated book and travel guide to Brittany and is making travel plans in his (and Secretary's) favorite armchair...

I wanted to show you all a few photos of an outdoor patio space that I have created for a client. My client wanted to maintain a traditional feel to the decor as the home that they are currently using is rather traditional. However, still being able to incorporate modern elements and pieces into the space in order to make the space feel updated and current was a top priority.
These photos have been taken by my amazing friend Alexxandro www.flickr.com/photos/153856267@N06/
P.S. If you would like to know the name of the store or designer who has created any of the pieces you see in this photo please feel free to IM me in world (Brinks Lemmon) and I'll send you the store/designer information.

I have a request for some of you!!!
I think I speak for a majority of people (especially those of the sensitive-creative-variety) when I say that it's so hard to to gather up the courage to ask for anything. But here goes.
If you have purchased my book in the U.S. using Amazon: (direct link: NY Through the Lens - US Version )...
Or if you have purchased my book in Europe and other parts of the world using Amazon UK: (direct link: NY Through the Lens - UK Version )...
...could you take a moment or two to write a review of the book on Amazon?
I know. I know. It's hard to get the fingers and mind warmed up enough to do the deed. I, myself, have bizarre procrastination issues when it comes to writing reviews of things.
I would be super grateful if somehow all moments in the universe align perfectly to rev up your fingers and mind to write a review of my book! :)
I would also like to take the time to say thank you to everyone when it comes to my book’s impending book release (it releases in stores in the U.S. in 5 days!).
I have received so many moving messages and comments in the various places I can be found online posting my photography. All those photos you have shared with me with my book arriving to your homes have been so incredibly touching. This is one of the most surreal experiences I have ever had and I am so grateful. I am also trying to brainstorm some fun and interesting ways to thank all of you.
On a related note, I finally had a little time to create a Goodreads Author profile for myself. If any of you are on there too, here is my author profile: bit.ly/nycauthorgoodreads .
There is a really great community of book lovers on Goodreads that I am enjoying immensely.
For anyone waiting on the book to arrive, or waiting to buy it in stores, thank you for your excitement and support. It so inspiring. I hope you enjoy the book when you finally get to dive into it.
Much love to all of you ♥.
There is a HUGE post about this over at my blog with tons of photos. It looks prettier and makes more sense and has all relevant links:

If you are curious about the book, this is the book post with all of the information about the book:
When the one24thscale team finally gets around to publishing our coffee table book, one24thscale Road Trips, we will need a preface to talk about the secrets of our success.
Of course, we shall share stories of our humble beginnings, making mediocre musicians look and sound like rock stars and transforming amateur actors into glamorous Hollywood stars. We will tell tales of all the noble sacrifices we made to make yammering, bobble-headed reporters and talk show hosts look like practitioners of a noble medium instead of being the priests of the fiendish boob-tube cult started by one, Philo T Farnsworth.
However, we would be remiss if we were to ignore the importance of the little things, like making sure our heads are screwed on tight when we start to work our magic.
What is your favorite one24thscale photo of all time? Chime in below!
What images would you like to see in a potential coffee table book? Perhaps, you might like to see something we haven't done, yet?
We ask out of curiosity and because "the ask" circles back to the starting point of this post.
Have a terrific holiday season!

"Dance Central" in Lynn, Massachusetts, thirty-three years ago.
That's me sitting in the front left. They needed a partner, and I was there. It was the most fun I ever had in a class! Lifts were very delightful, and I remember it well. The dancers were totally weightless and I was on cloud nine.
The photographer, Peter, (visible in the mirror) came to do a photo shoot of the studio and the dancers before and during classes for a coffee table book on One Day USA. A different photo from Dance Central did make it into the book. It was not taken during this partnering class.
Leanne is sitting right behind me in this photo. In this photo, she is fourteen years of age.
Leanne and her lovely family are spending a few days of their vacation in the USA visiting Miss Cecily, Raf, and me. We have had such a happy time with them. Leanne is like a daughter to Miss Cecily and me.
I will be posting photos of their family visit...:) We have had such a happy time during their visit.
I had nothing in mind for a photo this week and I was reminded of seinfeld and then I had this weird idea. I hope all you seinfeld fans like!!!

Well I reposted this shot for a number of reasons ...
.... first ... I had the pleasure of winning first place in the "Streetscapes" category in the recent Capture Oakville 2009 competition with this image ...
... secondly ... I have been very busy framing a collection of shots from my Night Moves series which will be exhibited at the Williams Coffee Pub at Trafalgar & Dundas here in Oakville, this image makes up one of my approximately 20 framed shots that will be on display at Williams ...
... thirdly ... I have just finished my first publicly available book through Blurb, entitled "Night Moves Volume I" which highlights the images on display during this upcoming exhibit. The link to the book ... www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/963512
Wish me luck folks ! Sorry I haven't been commenting on your work as I have been busy preparing for the exhibit.
On the move .... Night Moves
The title is Chronicle of the 20th Century. It was created by a German journalist and published in the 1980s. It was licensed around the world, and though published in multiple countries, the content is from the perspective of each country's news sources.
The US Edition was named "1987 Book of the Year" . Thus, its copyright was 1987. The publisher claims the book was gargantuan and colossal!
My husband bought it at an estate sale. We are proud to have it as we enjoy its month by month replay of history in the 20th Century! BTW, we were born midway through this century! And that's good history!!!
