Douglas C-47A Skytrain (cn 12857) Built in 1944 as 42-92995 and seen as it performs a perfect wheels landing on rwy 15 at ANC.
Most British companies viewed scooters disparagingly but Douglas could see a future in them. As a result the Bristol based firm came to an arrangement with Piaggio to manufacture the Vespa under licence from 1951. Manufactured in Bristol, Douglas Vespas featured British components from Amal, BTH and Lucas among others.
(Tamiasciurus douglasii), also called Chickaree.

With each passing outing, I'm using the Graflex more and more as a landscape camera. It won't replace my Chamonix, but this past weekend, I shot with it almost exclusively, taking out the Chamonix for a post-sunset color photo which I sort of regret not taking with the Graflex.
When I started this, I was fully convinced that the lens I was using just wouldn't cut it as a landscape lens. Now I think that it depends upon the film.
With Foma Retropan, it's very soft, and I think that plays well with the lens. I think Arista Ortho Litho does for the same reason.
Once again, the clouds were pretty ... weird. I don't really get what they were trying to do, but they did it and I just shrugged and wished they wouldn't.

Not the greatest of shots , I took this hand held at one-o-clock in the morning just before we were pounced on by the local security.
From a recent long postponed and delayed trip to the Isle of Man. MER Car No.32, dating back to 1906, is taken for a ride from the Derby Castle Tram Depot in Douglas. This was taken on a Thursday when no MER services run at present so it might have been a test run before a forthcoming event over the following weekend. These open cars are nicknamed 'Toastracks' for obvious reasons! The weather was pretty miserable for most of our time on the island this time.

The Douglas squirrel (Tamiasciurus douglasii) is a pine squirrel found in western North America, from the Pacific Northwest.
Both the squirrels and the firs they call home bear the name of David Douglas. In 1825 and 1826, the Scotsman Douglas tramped and canoed over 6000 miles of the Northwest, documenting plants and collecting seeds and cuttings.
Well this takes a bit of explaining.
This is a 4x5 shot taken with a 4x5 camera using a piece of cut film. That is, a 4" piece of film cut from a much longer roll (500' to 2,000').
The emulsion is some sort of Plus-X (probably Aerographic or Aerecon II, though likely the latter since it's on a very thin base). It was originally rated at 200, but this shoots at 100ish.
I don't really know how to dev it, so I've been doing HC-110, 1+90 for 18mins. The negatives come out pretty thin, so I'm wondering if just a regular Plus-X dev time is okay.
The film was originally intended to be shot through cameras like the Fairchild K20, though I'm sure there were much newer ones out there.
Kodak continued to produce this film well into the 2000s.
I wish I knew more about the history of this. I'm not a huge Plus-X fan (or, more than likely, I just don't know how to dev it best), so I'm not wild about the look here, but I am utterly thrilled to be testing this out.
That said, I am not used to devving film with sprocket holes, and obviously need to take greater care.
This was devved in a Steerman Press tank, which wasn't at all designed to handle sprocket holes, but I think with a bit better washing after both the dev and fix it should be okay.

I liked the way the birch tree with the trail of fallen leaves seemed to mimic Douglas Falls and the water flowing downstream.
Sutileza XIII. Inspirada en las imágenes de Douglas Hall. Hace unos meses que vi las fotografías de Douglas Hall sobre instrumentos musicales; algunas de ellas tenían una estética minimalista resaltando sus perfiles y me gustaron. Al pensar en curvas para este reto me acordé de ellas.

13th July 2019 - Another artist from Liverpool that dosn't get talked about enough is 'Douglas Savage' he joined the 'Kazimier Garden's' stage at around Five O'clock and blessed us all with some mellow summer vibes during the 'Deeper Cuts' festival on Seel street in Liverpool.
This is the Seth Swank House. Or rather, it was. It's so falling down at this point that in my notes I dubbed it "gone house," which I guess isn't really true.
Seth was born in 1853 and seemed to be living at this location by 1903. He married Anna M Tipton, who was 19 years older than him. Before moving here, they had a son named William, who was born in Iowa.
William married Lydia Abardeen House in January 1919, but died within the year. At 22 years old, Lydia was a widow. They had no children and she never remarried. She died in 1965.

I camped on a small ridge overlooking this house, walking to it in the dusk and then again, with cameras, in the dawn.
This was a homestead. There was an early log cabin here. And then the house, and a root cellar off to the side. There was an orchard, a well, and a large garden. They made a go of it here.
The place was remote. I don't know where the kids would have went to school. There's a creek called School Creek somewhat nearby, but I can't find any mention of an actual school there. With only a few other homes in the area, I'm not even sure there would be a reason for a school.
This was adjacent to a ranch, however, and it's possible the ranch had its own school.
I took no photos of the land this time. I've found it's almost impossible to capture how it looks, or even how it feels. This is a place I want to show to visitors, to friends, to everyone.
But the four mile hike (walk) to this spot makes that almost out of the question. Tack on the four hour drive from Seattle, and there's really no reason to even ask.
So this is my place. Not really *mine* - it's owned by the State of Washington. It's our place. And if we treat it well (or not at all) we'll have it unchanged for generations to come.
In Washington, Wildlife Areas are specific things, with specific rules for preservation.
Motorized vehicles are prohibited. As are fires. Camping is allowed, but not encouraged by campgrounds or bathrooms. The people using these lands aren't there for parties. Most are hunters who, apart from our disagreements over animals and often politics, want to preserve their local lands.
At least in Washington, public lands (especially those owned by the state) are either cherished or go unnoticed. Both aid in preservation. These are not parks. They're minimally managed, but the "wilderness" part is taken very seriously.

This is a photo from my phone of the original photo, and to be honest seems as good as the scanner in the office.
Built in 2003, this Postmodern-style building was designed by Rem Koolhaus of OMA to serve as a campus center for the Illinois Institute of Technology, incorporating the Commons Building, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and built in 1953, which is similar in appearance to many of the campus’s academic buildings. The building is clad in perforated and textured metal panels with large exterior glass walls, unconventional use of materials inside and out, a large corrugated metal tube above the building’s butterfly roof that contains the Green Line of the L, reducing noise pollution within the building, three interior courtyards, and an eccentric layout with various ramps, stairs, and angled corridors winding their way through the irregularly-shaped footprint of the building. The building is the home of the campus’s dining options, various student services, and multiple gathering areas, making it a central focal point for on-campus activity at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Arriving from Tucson as "Jet USA (JUS) 833" is this 32 year old MD-88. Delivered new to Delta in 1991, and converted to freighter in Jan. 2022. First visit for an MD-88 type to YVR. Everything good always comes in the worst weather!
Douglas Falls is on the other side of Blackwater Falls State Park and is easy to get to. Although, you have to get down a rocky slope to the to the side of the river. Someone Strung a rope that can be used to shimmy down to the bottom. There are old railroad tracks that run along this creek that were used to take coal and other resources from the mines to be processed or sold. The coke ovens are just upstream.
Douglas Falls. The rocks have been stained orange due to the acid mines found upstream. The orange rocks make the water appear a beautiful turquoiseblue.

Everything is shut down in Washington right now. All state parks and state wildlife areas, including (I guess?) this particular wildlife Area.
What "shut down" means for most parks is that gates are locked and visitor centers are closed, as are all facilities. But for remote wildlife areas, that's basically normal.
Cars are barred from this 33 square mile tract of land - there are two roads leading into it and both are always gated. There are no parking lots ( you park on the side of a public road), no visitor center, no bathrooms, nothing but open land.
These closures have essentially not effected this chunk of public land at all. And whether we can still use these lands is a bit vague.
Current hunting and fishing seasons have not been effected, though future ones might be (and I'm not a hunter or fisherman, so I don't really care).
Overnight camping is always allowed here, though finding the documentation that tells you you're allowed to camp here is incredibly difficult. It makes some sense then that there's confusion about camping.
Generally, I think it's off. Probably.
That said, I'm likely the only person in the state who wants to be at this place and not hunt, so my concerns are definitely not on the forefront of anyone's agenda (nor should they be).
I'm just excited to get back out there.

Built in 1952-1956, this Modern International-style building was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe to house the architecture school of the Illinois Institute of Technology. The building features a glass and steel exterior facade with exposed exterior portal frames and roof beams, a raised basement, a concrete north terrace flanked by sunken stairways that provide direct access to the building’s basement, and a travertine south terrace. Inside, the first floor is a completely open clear-span interior with a cloud ceiling, oak wood partitions, a travertine floor, two staircases flanking the central core, two utility chases, and glass-walled meeting rooms and offices, while the lower level is divided into studios, classrooms, and a library through the use of glass and concrete block partitions. The building was designated a Chicago Landmark in 1997, as well as being listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a National Historic Landmark in 2001. The building is also a contributing structure in the Illinois Institute of Technology Academic Campus Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Today, the building houses most of the College of Architecture, which has grown in size, today also occupying space in the adjacent Tech North and Materials and Metals Building.
