National Portrait Gallery - June 27, 2026
.
The Primary Collection contains more than 12,700 portraits. Of these, over 4,100 are paintings, sculptures and miniatures. In addition, there are over 8,500 light-sensitive works on paper, shown on a rotating basis to avoid excessive light exposure and thus to minimise deterioration and fading.
Located on the ground floor of the National Portrait Gallery, Room 33 is one of the first spaces visitors encounter on arrival. Known as History Makers Now, this display is dedicated to contemporary sitters through the very best of contemporary portraiture across all mediums. As a result, this room undergoes frequent refreshes and is an ideal space to hang new acquisitions including paintings, photography and sculpture.
The space is arranged in a constellation hang, featuring a cluster of sitters making significant contributions to Britain across a range of industries. Visitors will recognise some of their generation’s most well-known actors and singers alongside others they may be less familiar with who are trailblazers in their respective fields, nonetheless.
For this most recent display changeover, the Contemporary and Photography Curators first consulted the Paper Conservators as to which photographs had reached or were nearing their maximum light exposure levels and were required to come down from this display. Next, the curatorial team discussed how the remaining available space on the wall could be rearranged to show a diverse balance of portraiture that was visually and biographically appealing.
With a wish list of works in hand, the Curatorial and Collections team came together to determine what was practically and logistically possible. Works that were too delicate to display, promised on loan or pending acquisition were no longer contenders. What emerged was a final, carefully curated selection of portraits that you can now see on display.

___________________________________
" After a three-year closure, the gallery opens its (new) doors to reveal a brilliant transformation that includes a luminous show on a British pioneer of colour photography
The first image is sky high and spectacular: David Bowie, turning to face the world from a silver screen in his twenties. Colossal photographs glimmer and shift in two-storey projections at the foot of the escalator. Watch long enough and they eventually give way to other people, other images, including the late queen, painted with rigid precision on a damask couch with her favourite corgi. Suddenly, the painting appears to move, very slightly. The corgi twitches one ear.
The National Portrait Gallery (NPG) has come alive, after three years of closure and many more of shadows and stasis. Its temporary exhibitions came and went, almost always superb – Russian portraits, Elizabethan miniatures, Picasso, Cézanne, Freud – but corners of its permanent collection were too often deserted. Now everything (literally) has changed.
You walk from the shining new entrance straight into the present. Marcus Rashford in a humble headshot, Stormzy sitting tight with his mother, Jeanette Winterson posing with a garden spade in Susanne du Toit’s specially commissioned painting.
Tom Shakespeare: Intellect, with Wheels, Lucy Jones’s scintillating vision of the bioethicist and disability rights campaigner, wheeling round in his chair, has his irrepressible energy and mirth. Alex Katz’s massive yet minimalist diagram of Anna Wintour has the Vogue queen’s icy style to perfection. Slotted in between, emphasising its absurdly flattering elongations, and oleaginous glint, Jamie Coreth’s oil portrait of two actual royals, Prince William and the Princess of Wales.
You are immediately in the here and now – and the great feat of this renewal is to sustain that effect from first to last. Visitors ascend by escalator to the Elizabethan court, where the queen appears surrounded by her many male champions, all briefly captured in stupendous portraits before their respective executions or fall from grace. Round a corner, you are confronted by funeral monuments, spotlit in dramatic darkness.
Oliver Cromwell and his Roundheads face Charles I and his Cavaliers in a marvellous reprise of the English civil war through art. Eighteenth-century London is a fabulous throng of writers, drinkers, actors and ribald satirists. Nobody is isolated; every person, and their image, is treated as part of a living society.
The most perfect instance of this homes in on a single historic night. In the summer of 1816, Mary Shelley, her half-sister Claire and her lover, Percy Bysshe Shelley, visited Lord Byron and his physician, Dr John William Polidori, at Lake Geneva. Byron proposed a competition for the best ghost story. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein won. Their portraits are drawn together, Romantic heads hugger-mugger against a dark wall.
Turn round and you can see Mary’s mother through a doorway: the pioneering feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, sleeves rolled up in John Opie’s pure and pensive portrait. Equally, there is a direct vantage point between Byron and his daughter, the mathematician and proto-computer-programmer Ada Lovelace. Everyone and everything connects, history knitting up.
The NPG was established in 1856 as an archive of exemplary figures. It was the first museum, outside the Uffizi’s self-portrait corridor, to be devoted entirely to portraits. And here lies its double conundrum: who should be included (it has the power to commission new images) and who should portray them? These two questions produce a third – how to balance the status of the sitter with the quality of the portrait.
So the image of Samuel Pepys is as stiff as the wig the great diarist wears, whereas Lord Beaverbrook, questionable media magnate, gets a tellingly confrontational painting by Walter Sickert. The poor queen got slick Pietro Annigoni, deadpan Bryan Organ and dogged Michael Leonard. No wonder they have tweaked the corgi’s ear.
But along with his terrific team of curators, director Nicholas Cullinan has made the most judicious of selections with this balance in mind. The rare and profoundly significant are beautifully displayed: the Chandos portrait, quietly off to one side, just as one imagines Shakespeare himself. The only surviving portrait of the three Brontës, a damaged fragment in a poignant case. The sole likeness of Jane Austen, so small it is presented at the end of a sequence of perfect miniatures like the coda to an evolving narrative.
And for supreme theatre, look at Joshua Reynolds’s early self-portrait with one hand shielding his eyes against the light, while also appearing to salute the future. What he now has in prospect is his own lifesize (and far-sighted) portrait of Mai, Britain’s first visitor from Polynesia in 1774, with his high intelligence and his tattooed hands, now hanging in pride of place in the 18th-century galleries.
Portraiture comes in every medium at the NPG, from toby jug to daguerreotype, church sampler to public statue, marble bust to digital print. A barely used rotunda has now become an eerie gallery of death masks – the London trees outside cast their fluttering reflections on the bronze face of Oliver Cromwell, strangely outsize even in death. The life mask of Marc Quinn, cast in 10 pints of his own blood, has so deteriorated with the decades as to stand as its own presage of death.
Photography often overshadowed painting towards the end of last century, exposing the inept and kitsch portraits the museum sometimes commissioned. But this is no longer true. It is not just that mediocre paintings have been discreetly stored away, but that the photographs are so well chosen. George Bernard Shaw in warm living colour, Noël Coward absolutely hidden – bar one silvery eye – in darkness, Malala Yousafzai exquisitely dressed in Arabic script in Shirin Neshat’s photographic portrait.
And the first of the temporary shows is the jubilant and uplifting Yevonde: Life and Colour, celebrating Madame Yevonde (1893-1975), the first British photographer to exhibit colour portraits. Born in Streatham, south London, an early suffragette and fast learner in a Westminster studio, Yevonde Middleton was a tireless original. Her idea of colour was practically DayGlo.
She photographed the red-haired actor Joan Maude against scarlet and vermilion, the gloweringly machiavellian Duchess of Argyll through sinister blue cellophane, Mrs Michael Balcon in gold with shotgun and owl as Minerva.
Her society ladies got up as goddesses are tonic and hilarious, especially Anthony Eden’s wife as the muse of history in something like a bathing cap, sent up by a watchful classical bust. Yevonde’s own self-portrait – tiny, in jaunty tweed suit, holding the flash wire of a camera magnified to the size of an elephant – is a final exclamation point to this wittily brilliant exhibition.
Almost half the sitters and artists at the NPG are now women. One gallery is devoted to women’s self-portraits, another to new portraits by women. A Rebel Women display includes mutinous aristocrats, coruscating poets and the original Roaring Girl, Moll Cutpurse. Grace Darling appears head to marble head against her contemporary Queen Victoria; Malala opposite the Princess of Wales.
Extraordinary lives are rediscovered – the Georgian boxer Jem Belcher, the Victorian miniaturist Sarah Biffin, born without arms or legs. The hang is so democratic, it unites servant with mistress and raw recruit with general on the same level. The wall texts are all enthralling knowledge.
This magnificent reinvention could not happen without deep observation, curiosity, wisdom and experience. And above all, perhaps, with the sense of humour that is everywhere apparent and perceived as a British trait. You could spend days here, in this spectacular building, with its cobalt and vermilion walls and more than 1,000 exhibits, and come away every time with a new understanding of British history, life and art."

Dedicated to all gay people who suffer prejudice due to intolerance by political and/or religous groups.
Inspired by the movie "The Bubble" which we saw at the Johannesburg Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.
Touchin your eyebrow to say "I love you" comes from the original play "Bent" about the love between a Jew and a gay guy in a concentration camp which is featured in the movie!

Richard Barwell (1804) on monument by his friend J Nollekens with cornucopia and elephant -
"This monument is dedicated to the memory of Richard Barwell esqre of Stanstead Park in the county of Sussex; who in the service of the Honorable East India Company, during a period of 23 years, attained to such situations of high trust and emolument, as his talents and unblemished reputation most justly entitled him, with an understanding strong and cultivated, and a mind open and honourable, were united other qualities rare and estimable; and by all who could appreciate affection towards his family, attachment to his friends, and benevolence widely spread around, he was respected when living and died lamented on the second day of September 1804 in the sixty second year of his age"
Richard Barwell (8 October 1741 – 2 September 1804) was a merchant with the East India Company who amassed one of the largest fortunes in early British India.
He was the son of William Barwell, governor of Bengal in 1748, and afterwards a director of the East India Company and Sheriff of Surrey in 1768. , by 3rd wife Elizabeth Pierce of Calcutta.
Richard was educated in England at Westminster School then joined the East India Company and returned to Calcutta in 1758.
Vast fortunes could be made in India and Richard did not scruple to benefit from his position within the company. In the 1760s he chose his half-sister, Mary Barwell, to manage his financial affairs in England. In 1766 she began investing in stocks for Richard and was to become the Barwell family's leading adviser in matters of money.
In 1773 the Government in London passed the Regulating Act which appointed Warren Hastings, then Governor of Bengal to be Governor General of Bengal, subsuming the Governments of Madras and Bombay. The executive council appointed to assist him consisted of Richard, Lt-Gen John Clavering, George Monson and Philip Francis. Clavering, Monson and Francis had been sent out from England so it is perhaps not surprising that Richard should become a firm supporter of Hastings in his disagreements with them.
Barwell has been cited for sharp business practices. Writing in the Cambridge History of India, H.H. Dodwell says:
"He made a great fortune in India, and, as Sir James Stephen says, this fact of itself raises a presumption against his official purity. ... his standard was low. We find him writing to his sister in 1769: "I would spend 5,000 to secure to myself the chiefship of Dacca, and to supervise. the collection of the revenues of that province". In another letter he states that he considers himself justified in evading the law which prohibited the Company's servants from trading, by engaging in salt contracts under the names of native Indians.
A scandalous story about him is found in a rare book entitled The Intrigues of a Nabob; or Bengal the fittest Soil for the Growth of Lust, Injustice, and Dishonesty It alleges that Barwell had enticed away the writer's mistress, who passed at Calcutta for his wife and then discontinued an annuity promised to the writer as the price of his acquiescence.
While member of council he was accused of deriving an illicit profit of 20,000 a year from certain salt contracts. His prosecution was ordered by the court of directors, but the proceedings fell through. In connection with this affair he fought a bloodless duel with General Clavering. Francis and Barwell were antagonists at the whist-table, where Francis is said to have won 20,000 at a sitting. In 1780, after a truce between Hastings and Francis, Barwell retired from the service.
From India he allegedly brought back one of the largest fortunes ever accumulated with rumours suggesting an estimate of about £400,000 (equivalent to about £25 million at today's prices
In 1781 he bought the estate of Stansted Park in Sussex from the trustees of the Earl of Halifax for £102,500 and subsequently added to his possessions in that county. He enlarged and remodelled Stansted House "in a style of expense which contributed to exhaust the oriental treasures by which it was supplied.' Architects, Bonomi and James Wyatt were employed on the work for 5 years, while Capability Brown laid out the grounds.
In 1781 Barwell was returned as tory M.P. for Helston, in 1784 for St Ives, and in 1790 and 1796 for Winchelsea, but in December 1796 he resigned from his parliamentary seat.
In 1776 aged 34 he m1 in St. John's Church Calcutta, 22 year old Elizabeth daughter of Robert Sanderson, another official of the East India Company. The couple lived in grand style

(Till a fortnight before his 2nd marriage he was keeping a very beautiful mistress close to his park, by whom he has several children, and till very lately he declared most strongly against matrimony This was a Mrs Seaforth, an assumed name for Rebecca Lyne 1764 - 1851 a relative of John Lyne one of Richard's tenants who was one of the witnesses of his will.
She had 1 son and 3 daughters by him including
1. Louisa b 1790 ).
Shortly after his death his estates in Sussex were sold by his trustees
His memorial inscription is in stark contrast to the views of William Hickey as published in the second volume of his
'Memoirs; 'Mr Barwell made it his study to render himself obnoxious to persons of all ranks, shutting up gates and paths through the park that had, as an indulgence, been always open to the public; prevented the poor from providing themselves from a spring they had been used to frequent, in
short doing everything illiberal and ill natured. His very name from such conduct, soon was held in such detestation that men, women and children hissed and hooted at him as he passed in all his oriental status through the village'. - Of the real Richard Barwell , we know he was wealthy, that this wealth was not entirely the product of endeavour; we know he treated some of his tenants with arrogance and disregard, we know he had little time for incipient democracy other than
how it might serve his own interests, and scant regard for Parliamentary institutions, at one time refusing to attend a House of Common hearing into Indian affairs. His legacy was the refurbishment of Stansted House, undertaken at great cost on his fortune and liability on his estate. Sadly that building no longer survives; it was destroyed by fire on the evening of Friday3rd August 1900.

Dedicated in 1935, Valley of Fire is Nevada's oldest state park. It is located only 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas. The rough floor and jagged walls of the park contain brilliant formations of eroded sandstone and sand dunes more than 150 million years old. These features, which are the centerpiece of the park's attractions, often appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun's rays
The Resort Shirakami is a dedicated sightseeing train that runs along the Gono Line, connecting the coastal communities of Akita and Aomori prefectures. The 147-kilometre route is shaped by its diverse scenery, tracking closely along the rocky beaches of the Sea of Japan before turning inland toward the ancient beech forests of the Shirakami-Sanchi mountain range. The train uses large panoramic windows to keep passengers connected to these changing vistas, which transition from crashing waves and unique rock shelves to rural farmland.The train serves as a moving link between the isolated fishing villages and farming towns along the remote northern coast. It makes extended stops at local stations like Noshiro and Senjojiki, allowing travellers to step onto the platforms.
Don't know why, but this song just popped into my head while I was walking on the beach...
(Pauling and Bass)
While I'm far away from you, my baby,
I know it's hard for you, my baby,
Because it's hard for me, my baby,
And the darkest hour is just before dawn -
Each night before you go to bed, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby.
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love.
Love can never be exactly like we want it to be.
I could be satisfied knowing you love me.
There's one thing I want you to do especially for me -
And it's something that everybody needs.
While I'm far away from you, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby,
Because it's hard for me, my baby,
And the darkest hour is just before dawn.
If there's one thing I want you to do especially for me
Then it's something that everybody needs...
Each night before you go to bed, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby,
And tell all the stars above -
This is dedicated to the one I love.
This is dedicated (to the one I love)
This is dedicated to the one I love
This is dedicated (to the one I love)
This is dedicated...
The Frank Sinatra Starkey Hearing Technologies Celebrity Invitational is dedicated to the memory and music of Frank Sinatra and benefits the Barbara Sinatra Center for Abused Children. This event enjoys a rich history as one of the marquee golf and fundraising events in the Palm Springs, California desert. Each year, celebrities, amateur contestants, loyal sponsors and enthusiastic spectators from all over the country look forward to returning to this unique "celebrity friendly" event.
Known as "Franks little party in the desert", Barbara and Frank Sinatra founded this event in 1988 to raise funds for the Barbara Sinatra Center for Abused Children at Eisenhower Medical Center, which opened in 1986. Through their efforts, and those of supporters throughout the world, the Frank Sinatra Starkey Hearing Technologies Celebrity Invitational is now one of the most successful events of it's kind.
This is a five (5) player team gross and net scramble golf tournament held at Eagle Falls Golf Course in Indio, California. One (1) celebrity and four (4) contestants are a team. The team of four (4) amateur players remains together for two (2) consecutive days. The celebrity contestant changes teams for the second day. Current USGA handicaps are verified and applied to all contestants.
A third film dedicated to the extraordinary botanical garden green houses, Parc de la Tête d'Or, Lyon, France, on February 27, 2023.
I used again a brand new 36-exposure Fujifilm Super X-Tra 400 film but this time with my Canon F-1 SLR camera (year 1973) and its wild-angle lens Canon FD 1:2.8 f=28mm (1979).
The film was exposed for 400 ISO following essentially the Canon F-1 "semi-selective" metering confirmed in some cases by my Minolta Autometer III fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas.
In the warmer and humid tropical green houses, I had to wait about 20 min to leave the camera temperature to equilibrate enough (outside temperature 6°C, inside 30°C) to get no water condensation.
The Canon FD lens was equipped with a Hoya "X-Dry" UV-protection filter (55mm) without shade hood.
Serres Tropicales Chaudes et Humides du Jardin Botanique de Lyon
Parc de la Tête d'Or, February 27, 2023

France
After exposures the film was deposited for C-41 processing in local shop and was then film digitalized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were then processed in LR and finally edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.
----
About the camera and the lens:
I bought this Canon F-1 a year ago in April 2022. The body is stamped "N1129" (in the film cartridge magazine) indicating that the camera body was manufactured in Japan in November 1973 while the FD 28mm lens is stamped "T102" on the rear baffle indicating a construction in the Canon factory in January 1979.
The camera was used very carefully with almost no sign of age. The photometric circuitry needs, as most of te SLR of that time, a 1.31V mercury oxide battery that I replaced by a Kanto MR9 adaptor for a SR43 silver oxide battery.

Oklahoma Baptist Disaster Relief ministry dedicated a new Training, Equipment and Mobilization Center on October 21, 2017. These are images from that ceremony.
The Oklahoma Baptist Disaster Relief ministry began in 1973 during flooding in north central Oklahoma. Nine inches of rain fell in a two hour period around Enid, which was awash. Oklahoma Baptist raised over $25,000 for those impacted by the flooding, but an organized response was determined to be necessary to meet future disaster needs. On December 11, 1973, the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma (BGCO) approved a plan for a Disaster Relief ministry.
From those humble beginnings of providing financial support and hot meals, God has blessed Oklahoma Baptists' disaster relief efforts. Now Oklahoma Baptists provide help through child care, feeding laundry & shower, water purification, ash-out, debris removal, mud-out and chainsaw teams. More than 8,000 Oklahoma Baptists have been trained in Disaster relief.
Oklahoma Baptists have responded to nearly 200 disaster events in 27 states and 18 foreign nations and have prepared over 4.9 million meals. Whenever Oklahoma Baptists respond, they provide hope, help and healing in the name of Jesus to those impacted by disaster.
The facility provides training rooms, overnight accommodation for volunteers returning late at night, parking space for vehicles and equipment and office space for administration staff.
Over the years, our equipment has come to include quite a bit of equipment so the barn will secure and house that equipment when not in use.
