An image from an album of prints by the Revd David Benson, a curate in Hull when he took most of his photographs. Nearly all from the late 1960s, he not only chased steam (plenty of such photographs from others), but didn't ignore the first generation diesels, of which there are some fantastic images. Also a good number of shots around Hull Docks. Loaded into the Flickr album 'A Curate's Collection' in reverse order, so when I've uploaded them all you can browse the album as it was compiled.

okay, a LOT has happened really fast, and i've gotten some questions asking what's happened to... well, just about everything.
so this is the present: the guy on the left is david. a lot of you probably recognize the guy on the right- that would be tank. i've relocated to the west coast. and i live with them.
everything was done on a leap of faith on all our parts, and it's been one of the most rewarding leaps i've ever made.
Front view.
David Lloyd George, 1st Earl Lloyd-George of Dwyfor, OM PC (17 January 1863 – 26 March 1945) was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1916 to 1922. He was a Liberal Party politician from Wales, known for leading the United Kingdom during the First World War, social reform policies including the National Insurance Act 1911, his role in the Paris Peace Conference, negotiating the establishment of the Irish Free State, disestablishment of the Church of England in Wales and support of Welsh devolution in his early career. He was the last Liberal Party Prime Minister; the party fell into third party status shortly after the end of his premiership.
Lloyd George was born on 17 January 1863 in Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester, a Welsh speaker born to Welsh parents. From around three months of age he was raised in Wales, briefly in Pembrokeshire and then in Llanystumdwy, Gwynedd. His father, a schoolmaster, died in 1864, and David was raised by his mother and her shoemaker brother, whose Liberal politics and Baptist faith strongly influenced Lloyd George; the same uncle helped the boy embark on a career as a solicitor after leaving school.
Lloyd George became active in local politics, gaining a reputation as an orator and a proponent of a Welsh blend of radical Liberalism which championed Welsh devolution, the disestablishment of the Church of England in Wales, equality for labourers and tenant farmers, and reform of land ownership. In 1890, he narrowly won a by-election to become the Member of Parliament for Caernarvon Boroughs, in which seat he remained for 55 years. He served in Henry Campbell-Bannerman's cabinet from 1905. After H. H. Asquith succeeded to the premiership in 1908, Lloyd George replaced him as Chancellor of the Exchequer. To fund extensive welfare reforms he proposed taxes on land ownership and high incomes in the "People's Budget" (1909), which the Conservative-dominated House of Lords rejected. The resulting constitutional crisis was only resolved after two elections in 1910 and the passage of the Parliament Act 1911. His budget was enacted in 1910, and the National Insurance Act 1911 and other measures helped to establish the modern welfare state. In 1913, he was embroiled in the Marconi scandal, but he remained in office and promoted the disestablishment of the Church of England in Wales and until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 suspended its implementation.
As wartime Chancellor, Lloyd George strengthened the country's finances and forged agreements with trade unions to maintain production. In 1915, Asquith formed a Liberal-led wartime coalition with the Conservatives and Labour. Lloyd George became Minister of Munitions and rapidly expanded production. Amongst other measures, he set up four large munitions factories as a countermeasure to the shell crisis of the previous year. The so-called 'National Filling Factory' in Renfrewshire was named 'Georgetown' in Lloyd George's honour.[3] In 1916, he was appointed Secretary of State for War but was frustrated by his limited power and clashes with the military establishment over strategy. Amid stalemate on the Western Front, confidence in Asquith's leadership waned. He was forced to resign in December 1916; Lloyd George succeeded him as prime minister, supported by the Conservatives and some Liberals. He centralised authority through a smaller war cabinet, a new Cabinet Office and his "Garden Suburb" of advisers. To combat food shortages he implemented the convoy system, established rationing, and stimulated farming. After supporting the disastrous French Nivelle Offensive in 1917, he had to reluctantly approve Field Marshal Haig's plans for the Battle of Passchendaele which resulted in huge casualties with little strategic benefit. Against the views of his commanders, he was finally able to see the Allies brought under one command in March 1918. The war effort turned in their favour that August and was won in November. In the aftermath, he and the Conservatives maintained their coalition with popular support following the December 1918 "Coupon" election. His government had extended the franchise to all men and some women earlier in the year.

Taken in the West End neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio.
There are lots of old buildings around town that have ghost signs on them. This one is visible from a couple of major roads. I've long wondered about the history of the David Shoe Company, but found next to nothing on it on the web.
I would really like to know what the deal is with windows like these with multiple panes of glass which do not match. It is a feature I've seen on many older factory buildings. I assume that the original panes were all clear glass which when broken, were replaced by any colored glass the maintenance men had around, but why this was such a common practice is beyond me.
The top floor windows are mostly transparent while the first floor ones, while protected by heavy metal screens and the second floor window panes have been replaced by opaque ones. I guess that people wanting to break windows concentrated on the first two floors.
I haven't been in this area in several months. It wouldn't surprise me if the building has been torn down to make way for a soccer stadium which is being built in the area - like we need a new stadium at some cost to taxpayers particularly when the team owners are extremely wealthy. Over the years, the West End area has been a whipping boy of sorts that the powers have tried to break up to keep slums from developing too much. Unfortunately some of he coolest homes in the city were once there and are now mostly gone. Ah, progress.

I produced this impression of David Bowie this moning after hearing of his untimely death. such a shock.
David was near the northwest corner of Dearborn and Randolph. I asked him how he was doing and he said "I'm blessed". He's been out here for two years. Even so, he was a positive, optimistic man.At night he rides the train, because the shelters are dirty and have bedbugs. "I've had some drug problems in the past, but I'm in a treatment program and I'm doing better now. You just take one day at a time....sometimes one hour or one minute at a time...you gotta crawl before you can walk."
Oh man, My cable release stopped working after taking this shot. I'm so depressed. I don't want to have to send my camera in, nor do I want any other camera. Damn Damn Damn!

David from North Carolina. Was married once and then 'just kind of dropped out'. Doesn't mind working but can't seem to get himself out of his current state. Has lived on the streets of Santa Monica for seven years. Lilah, his dog, keeps him from being lonely. Even though she drives him crazy sometimes.
Michelangelo’s 17-foot tall David lives up to its reputation as a great work of art, and Florence has done very well in displaying the 500+ year-old sculpture in an accessible and visually-pleasing setting. Installed at the Accademia Gallery (rather than the Uffizi Gallery as many people mistakenly assume), the hall is flooded with natural light from a skylight above. While the Accademia is expensive and more difficult to find than the Uffizi, the line is far shorter and amazingly they allow non-flash photography. With the light pouring in from above one can easily do hand held and still get great shots.
From Wikipedia:
David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture created between 1501 and 1504 by Michelangelo. The statue represents the Biblical hero David, a favored subject in the art of Florence. Originally commissioned as one of a series of statues of prophets to be positioned along the roofline of the east end of Florence Cathedral, the statue was placed instead in a public square, outside the Palazzo della Signoria, the seat of civic government in Florence, where it was unveiled on 8 September 1504.
Because of the nature of the hero it represented, the statue soon came to symbolize the defense of civil liberties embodied in the Republic of Florence, and the eyes of David, with a warning glare, were turned towards Rome. The statue was moved to the Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence, in 1873, and later replaced at the original location by a replica.
