Paul Delaroche, The Execution of Lady Jane Grey, 1833, oil on canvas, 246 x 297 cm (The National Gallery, London)
This area was a bit eerie - as soon as I came near the place I had a heavy feeling, even before knowing what it was.
Several hundred protesters against the pending execution of Willie McGee picket in front of the Lincoln Memorial while other protesters chain themselves to the columns May 6, 1951.
McGee was facing execution after being convicted of the rape of a white women in 1945 in Mississippi.
He was the subject of a six-year campaign by the Civil Rights Congress involving demonstrations, letters and petitions from around the world and legal maneuvering that brought attention to the routinely imposed death penalty on black men charged with raping white women.
The campaign resulted in two re-trials and numerous stays of execution, but McGee was ultimately executed May 8, 1951, two days after this demonstration.
McGee wrote to his wife the night before his execution, “Tell the people the real reason they are going to take my life is to keep the Negro down.... They can't do this if you and the children keep on fighting. Never forget to tell them why they killed their daddy. I know you won't fail me. Tell the people to keep on fighting. Your truly husband, Will McGee.

Execution of the Strobist Lighting 102 Unit 1.1 exercise :-)
The top row shows the subject from the camera "point of view", the bottom one from the "point of view" of the light source. Note the correspondence between areas "visible" to the light source in the bottom row and the areas directly lit in the top row.
Obviously, this marks me starting to go through the Lighting 102... I promise to put my pics online so that you can monitor my progress in case you have nothing more interesting to do...

I'll be honest, I'm not sure about the legality of posting these pictures.
These were all photographs and posters from the Natzweiler Concentration camp in France. There were no signs disallowing photography, but the fact is, I didn't take these original pictures. I don't know who the credit goes to but I feel compelled to share them.
The Natweiler concentration camp was a grim experience, yet powerful and worthwhile. We visited on a gray, rainy day which added to the mood.
I share these with the intent of spreading information and helping to show things to people who might not ever be able to make a trip to Europe or be able to tour a camp museum.
When political powers try to deny that these horrid events occurred it is one more reminder that we can't forget these events. We can't forget what many of our grandfathers fought for. We can't deny the grave human injustice that was perpetrated.
A page from the programme for 'The Yeomen of the Guard'. The page includes photographic portraits of Arthur Greenwood as Colonel Fairfax and Miranda Sugden as Elsie Maynard.
The Keighley Amateur Lyric and Dramatic Society staged a production of W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan's 'The Yeomen of the Guard (or The Merryman and his Maid)' at the Hippodrome theatre in Keighley from 18th to 23rd October 1909.
The story is set in the sixteenth century and revolves around Colonel Fairfax, a condemned prisoner in the Tower of London, and his attempts to secure a wife before his execution for sorcery. He manages to escape the Tower disguised as a Yeoman and much confusion ensues before all is righted by the end.
It starred Arthur Greenwood as Colonel Fairfax, with E. G. Moulding, James Pearson, Willie Boyes, J. R. Hammond, H. Connelly, John Merrall, C. A. Greenwood, J. Greenwood, B. Hardacre, H. V. Wilkinson, Miranda Sugden, Ethel Bird, Miss Lambert and Mrs Heaton. The musical director was W. S. Wilkinson and the stage manager was W. G. Bedford. Scenery was hired from the Northern Theatres Co. Ltd. and was specially painted by F. G. Venimore.
The Keighley Amateur Lyric and Dramatic Society had only formed a year previous (in 1908) and the theatre had only been renamed the Hippodrome earlier that year (in 1909). Prior to that it was known as the Queen’s Theatre, although both names remained on the front of the building, and many programmes and adverts continued to refer to the ‘Hippodrome and Queen’s Theatre’.
In 1876, Abraham Kershaw, a piano player and tuner from Huddersfield, had bought 700 square yards of land in Queen Street. On it he had built a five-storey wooden theatre, designed by architect J. B. Bailey, that opened at Easter 1880. The theatre was not a financial success and the wooden theatre was pulled down. A new improved theatre, called the Queen’s Theatre was built instead and opened on 26th August 1889. But even this new theatre was deemed inadequate, and in its place was built the new Queen’s Theatre. This was designed by theatre architect Frank Matcham (1854-1920). It covered 7,000 square feet with a frontage of 86 feet to Queen Street and 48 feet to Adelaide Street. There was an iron veranda fitted with coloured glass that ran the whole length of the front. It could seat almost 2,000 people, the stage was 65 feet wide by 45 feet deep, and it boasted that every person in the house had an uninterrupted view of the whole stage. There were six private boxes, bars on all five floors, and ten dressing rooms. The new theatre opened on the 3rd February 1900.
Impresario Francis Laidler (1867-1955) took over the theatre in 1913 – he also ran the Prince’s Theatre and Alhambra Theatre in Bradford, and the Theatre Royal in Leeds. He was managing director up until his death when his widow, Gwladys, took over until the theatre closed in October 1956.
The theatre was demolished in 1961 and in its place now stands the Airedale Shopping Centre multi-storey car park. Keighley Local Studies Library holds various records relating to the theatre including a scrapbook belonging to Abraham Kershaw, a box office notebook, a theatrical postcard album covering 1906 to 1929, autograph books and various photographs, programmes, and posters.
This souvenir programme was a collaboration between photographer H. Charlton of Lawkholme Crescent, and the printers Wadsworth & Co. of The Rydal Press, Russell Street. It measures approximately 255mm by 190mm and is 36 pages long. The programme was donated to the Keighley and District Local History Society by Tim Neal in 2022. A second copy was received by the History Society from an anonymous donor later in 2022. Both copies are held in the History Society's physical archive.
Isolated inside its own fenced courtyard, the small building is known simply enough as the execution chamber. Between the years of 1937 and 1989, 39 or 40 (depending on the source) inmates were put to death inside the structure. All of the executions, save one, were conducted in the state's gas chamber where the sealed unit was filled with cyanide gas. The sole exception was the prison's last execution on January 26, 1989.

I wrote software that creates delaunay triangulation behind the mouse. I printed it out on an inkjet and used a lightbox to trace it with pen.

SERIALS: THE EXECUTION
20" x 30 "
Aerosol + Acrylic on Canvas
"Interior information told me once I was a serial sexual predator and killer in my past life. I was never caught. I came into this lifetime wanting to be a cop. Perhaps, to balance things out, perhaps out of remorse and guilt.
I'm not a cop now. I'm a poet. I'm a painter. I practice magick. Perhaps, it is good that I don't need to repeat the life i had before. I keep things safe with fantasies. Or are they memories? I get thrilled and excited when I think i'm on the hunt. I look at strangers and I know exactly what I want to do with them. But I do not.
I write, I paint, I fantasize.
These things keep me safe and distanced from a very old itch, or at least that is what I believe. Perhaps, these things keep other people safe, from a deep and possible part of another me.
SERIALS attempts to capture this side of me, for whatever it's worth."
Pereira Irving Paul, March 2014
In the sixteenth-century Smithfield was an open area mainly used as a market for cattle and horses. Yet it was also the setting for executions, used so since the reign of Henry I.
A number of individuals accused of heresy were burnt at the stake here. During Henry VIII’s reign, both radical reformers and Catholics loyal to the Pope were sent to die in agonising ways at Smithfield. This included the Franciscan friar John Forest, who refused to recognise the royal supremacy, and was subsequently hanged by chains and had a fire light underneath him in May 1538. His execution was witnessed by thousands of people; the archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, and the Henrician minister Thomas Cromwell, were amongst the crowd. Anne Askew was burnt here for heresy in 1546; she had been tortured on the rack so extensively that she could no longer stand unaided.
Two executions for heresy occurred during Edward VI’s reign though only one, George Van Parris, died at Smithfield.
The executions that occurred during the reign of Mary I at Smithfield tend to be the most remembered. The phrase the ‘fires of Smithfield’, popularly used, specifically referred to the Marian martyrs. Seven Protestants were burnt at the stake here, including John Rogers, John Cardmaker, John Bradford, John Philpot, Thomas Tompkins, John Warne and John Leafe. Rogers was the first protestant to be sent to the stake during Mary’s reign, and his courageous example was regarded as inspirational by supporters. Offered a pardon at the execution, Rogers refused, told the crowd to be unwavering in their faith, was tied to the stake and the fire lit. Whilst the flames consumed his body he allegedly ‘washed his hands in the flame’ (Foxe, Acts and Monuments) until it covered his whole body; a symbolic act of washing away the sins. A plaque commemorating the Marian martyrs can be found on the site.
Since the automation emergence, the demand for warehouse execution software is at its peak. This solution is not only available at affordable rates but also can improve the efficiency, productivity, and safety within the environment.
José Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda was a Filipino nationalist and reformist. He was the most prominent advocate for reform in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era, which made him one of the Philippines greatest national heroes. He was wrongly accused of being the leader of the Katipunan Revolution. This false charge led to his execution on December 30, 1896. December 30th is now celebrated as Rizal Day in the Philippines.

Chum Mey (born c. 1930) is one of only seven known adult survivors of the Khmer Rouge imprisonment in the S-21 Tuol Sleng camp, where 20,000 Cambodians were sent for execution. He survived two years of torture and fear in a Khmer Rouge death camp, sustained by thoughts of his pregnant wife and unborn child. His life was only spared because of his high level of competence in machine repairing for Pol Pot's soldiers.
Marched at gunpoint into the provinces by his fleeing Khmer Rouge jailers following the Vietnamese invasion, he had a chance encounter with his wife and the young son who was born a few weeks after he was sent to the infamous Tuol Sleng prison in early 1977.
For two days they travelled together to an isolated hamlet with a group of other prisoners. On the second evening, as the family rested beside a pagoda, the guards ordered them to walk into a rice field before suddenly opening fire with their AK-47 assault rifles.
"First they shot my wife, who was marching in front with the other women," he said. "She screamed to me, 'Please run, they are killing me now'. I heard my son crying and then they fired again, killing him. When I sleep, I still see their faces, and every day I still think of them"
Chum Mey later remarried and had 6 children, 3 sons and 3 daughters.
In 2003 he appeared in the Rithy Panh documentary S-21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine along with Cambodian artist Vann Nath where they were reunited and revisited the former prison, now known as the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh. They meet their former captors – guards, interrogators, a doctor and a photographer – many of whom were barely teenagers during the Khmer Rouge era from 1975 to 1979. Their appearances are in stark contrast to the two former prisoners, who are both elderly men. Vann Nath, who was made to paint portraits of prisoners, has a full head of white hair.
The guards and interrogators gave a tour of the museum, re-enacting their treatment of the prisoners and daily regimens. They looked over the prison's detailed records, including photographs, to refresh their memories.
Chum Mey giving evidence at the Khmer Rouge Tribunal, 30 June 2009
In 2009, he gave evidence at the Khmer Rouge Tribunal, the trial of surviving leaders of the Khmer Rouge regime. On 9 November 2014 Mey appeared on BBC's The Mekong River with Sue Perkins.
