Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
When the thunder calls for me
Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
Standing on my own two feet

My favorite statue in the Tuilleries in Paris. Visited it with a dear friend.

Tip: When the groomsmen bust out the cigars... backlight the Shi* out of it.
Pic taken *exactly* 14 years ago (03-Sep-2006) in Tokyo, Japan of my two boys in their "Sunday Best"...
History-Redux
This is not a photograph but a digital retouching of a painting with a real face adapted to be consonant with it's environment. Nor is it a plugging of a whole.
Spotted this dapper dad & his boy at harbourfront last summer. In a horde of Sunday shorts, flip-flops, T-shirts & baseball caps, their refined yet casual elegance gave the impression they had stepped out of another time, Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby maybe.
I followed them for quite awhile...felt a bit like a stalker... but hey...got to get the shot, right? The quiet moment here captured the essence of their Sunday stroll.
Cabinet card by Ahlborn, 335 West Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois. 1880's, I would guess.
Photographer William J. (Wilhelm Julius) Ahlborn was born in Germany, August 29, 1853. He arrived in the United States in 1872. He married Caroline Stoelk (born 1860) in Chicago in 1884. They had four daughters. They were: Emily, born in 1885; Dora and Minnie (twins) born in 1889; and Helen H., born in 1896.
They are listed as living on Fairfield Avenue, in Ward 13, in the 1900 census, which lists William as a photographer. His studio was at 335 West Madison Street 1886-1889, and at 333 West Madison Street, during the 1890's. William J. Ahlborn died in Chicago, March 11, 1921.
I am that person. I buy ties for my cat. However, he doesn't seem to mind wearing them*, so it's sort of like he's encouraging me to do it. Right?
*He's been wearing the bow tie around the house for that past half hour and he so does not care.
The dapper Mr. Mendes can be seen at events or just in the NY streets photographing with his vintage equipment. www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/new-york-citys-most...
