1/100 Strangers
Meet Shawn
I had the pleasure of meeting this fun loving gentle soul at Wat Florida Dhammaram, a Thai Buddhist Temple on my last visit to Kissimmee Florida a few months ago. Shawn once owned a very successful business in the Orlando area but decided some years back to cash it all in and follow a simple spiritual path in part based on a passage from a chapter in the Bible, Phillipians 4:8
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
I don’t think I have encountered anyone quite like him before and there was a radiance about him that was undeniable and so present, for lack of better words. He told me one of his meditation experiences where he ‘visited’ the creation of the Universe and after his vivid description, I have no doubt he actually did go back! You may be able to catch a glimmer of that in his smile… which speaks volumes to me.

We visited the historic Thebes Courthouse and saw the Thebes railroad bridge. Abraham Lincoln is said to have practiced law here and Dred Scott (a slave) was held in the dungeons. The town was also mentioned in the movie Showboat.

Sorry about the lack of updates and photos recently, I have been so busy doing shoots, doing courses and trying to get my website sorted, so I do apologise! Here is a self portrait I took a few days ago, the lighting was naf, so dark and the white balance was totally off, but I hope you enjoy this and I promise to keep updating regularly from now on!
Ex 'DRS' - 'Dred', Freightliner class 66418 passes Ely Dock Junction with the 4L85 1228 Doncaster Railport to Felixstowe Liner on the 19.8.2014. (Now sporting 'Freightliner' insignia)

A Freightliner Class 66 hitching a lift has become fairly regular on Monday's Engineers train through Blackburn,I suspect this is because a few locos probably end up in the wrong place after the weekends Engineering Possessions etc. Seen here is 66430 with 66552 D.I.T. and 37 empty spoil wagons working 6K05 Carlisle North Yard-Crewe Basford Hall Departmental service accelerating away from Blackburn.

Not long after meeting Julzz in Centre Place, I was drawn towards a lonely figure sitting at a table enjoying a coffee and a smoke close to the front door of the café. Initially it was Zeke’s long dreds (which you can’t see in my shot) that made me stop and talk with him.
Whilst going through the blurb I sensed a big fat rejection coming as he was pretty much un-moved by my request and the project. But, I do like a challenge and his ambivalence made me try even harder to win him over. Luckily for me within a minute or two he casually said “Yeah OK, why not?”
As with the previous stranger, the light was not ideal and was coming straight down creating shadows under his eyes and nose in an unflattering way. So, in an effort to reduce this unwanted effect I knelt right down on my haunches to get an “up and under” shot. The only problem with that was my position was right in front of the door way to the café. This meant that customers coming in and out of the café were bumping into me which made me lose my balance on a couple of occasions.
Now I know what you’re thinking because I was thinking it too….what a dumb place to shoot someone, but, I really didn’t want to ask Zeke to move just in case he changed his mind plus I really liked his position at the table so I made the best of the situation.
Zeke is a former actor and now wants to work on the other side of the camera but finding work in a competitive industry isn’t easy. Also, his is creative with leather goods and makes all sorts of items including the leather wrist strap he was wearing that day.
He struck me as a nice guy who was a little reserved but I felt we connected even for just a minute or two.
Thanks for being part of the 100 Strangers Project.

Auguste Chouteau and John Lucas donated land to St. Louis County for a courthouse in 1816. The original courthouse was constructed of brick in the Federal style of architecture and completed in 1828. A second courthouse was designed by architect Henry Singleton, which incorporated the original courthouse as the east wing of the building. The second courthouse was designed with four wings and a dome in the center of its axis. The Old Courthouse underwent a second period of construction beginning in 1851. Due to the extensive remodeling, the original dome, a classic revival style, was replaced. The new dome was of wrought and cast iron with a copper exterior in an Italian Renaissance style, and was designed by William Rumbold. Carl Wimar was commissioned to paint the murals on the interior of the dome. The Old Courthouse was abandoned by the City of St. Louis in 1930. In 1935, St Louis voted a bond issue to raze nearly 40 blocks around the courthouse in the center of St. Louis for the new Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. The courthouse was deeded to the Federal Government in 1940 by the city of St. Louis.
In 1846, slave Dred Scott sued for his freedom in the St Louis County Courthouse based on the fact that he and his wife had lived in the free state of Illinois and the free territory of Wisconsin. The case was ultimately decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1856 case Dred Scott v. Sandford which ruled against Scott. The decision In effect, ruled that slaves had no claim to freedom; they were property and not citizens; and they could not bring suit in federal court.
The Jefferson National Expansion Memorial (including the Arch, Old Cathedral, and Old Courthouse) is on the National Register #87001423, and is also a National Historic Landmark.

St. Louis is an independent city and inland port in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is situated along the western bank of the Mississippi River, which marks Missouri's border with Illinois. The Missouri River merges with the Mississippi River just north of the city. These two rivers combined form the fourth longest river system in the world. The city had an estimated 2017 population of 308,626 and is the cultural and economic center of the St. Louis metropolitan area (home to nearly 3,000,000 people), which is the largest metropolitan area in Missouri, the second-largest in Illinois (after Chicago), and the 22nd-largest in the United States.
Before European settlement, the area was a regional center of Native American Mississippian culture. The city of St. Louis was founded in 1764 by French fur traders Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, and named after Louis IX of France. In 1764, following France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, the area was ceded to Spain and retroceded back to France in 1800. In 1803, the United States acquired the territory as part of the Louisiana Purchase. During the 19th century, St. Louis became a major port on the Mississippi River; at the time of the 1870 Census it was the fourth-largest city in the country. It separated from St. Louis County in 1877, becoming an independent city and limiting its own political boundaries. In 1904, it hosted the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the Summer Olympics.
The economy of metropolitan St. Louis relies on service, manufacturing, trade, transportation of goods, and tourism. Its metro area is home to major corporations, including Anheuser-Busch, Express Scripts, Centene, Boeing Defense, Emerson, Energizer, Panera, Enterprise, Peabody Energy, Ameren, Post Holdings, Monsanto, Edward Jones, Go Jet, Purina and Sigma-Aldrich. Nine of the ten Fortune 500 companies based in Missouri are located within the St. Louis metropolitan area. The city has also become known for its growing medical, pharmaceutical, and research presence due to institutions such as Washington University in St. Louis and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. St. Louis has two professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball and the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League. One of the city's iconic sights is the 630-foot (192 m) tall Gateway Arch in the downtown area.

Dred Scott (c. 1799 – September 17, 1858) was an enslaved African American man in the United States who unsuccessfully sued for his freedom and that of his wife and their two daughters in the Dred Scott v. Sandford case of 1857, popularly known as the "Dred Scott case". Scott claimed that he and his wife should be granted their freedom because they had lived in Illinois and the Wisconsin Territory for four years, where slavery was illegal and their laws said that slaveholders gave up their rights to slaves if they stayed for an extended period.
In a landmark case, the United States Supreme Court decided 7–2 against Scott, finding that neither he nor any other person of African ancestry could claim citizenship in the United States, and therefore Scott could not bring suit in federal court under diversity of citizenship rules. Moreover, Scott's temporary residence outside Missouri did not bring about his emancipation under the Missouri Compromise, as the court ruled this to have been unconstitutional, as it would "improperly deprive Scott's owner of his legal property".
While Chief Justice Roger B. Taney had hoped to settle issues related to slavery and Congressional authority by this decision, it aroused public outrage, deepened sectional tensions between the northern and southern states, and hastened the eventual explosion of their differences into the American Civil War. President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, and the post-Civil War Reconstruction Amendments—the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments—nullified the decision.
The Scotts were manumitted by a private arrangement in May 1857. Dred Scott died of tuberculosis a year later.
The Old Courthouse is part of Gateway Arch National Park. In addition to being historic by its age, its steps served as a slave market and its interior courtroom saw the start of the Dred Scot decision.
