I finally got the large old two handed Hamilton proofing roller recovered and ready to use. I had it covered with rubber, because composition would never survive the variations of temperature and humidity that I experience in my shop space. The core of the roller is 14 inches and made of wood, which helps with the weight, but I doubt that it would survive another re-coating. The missing handles were replaced with handles from T. N. Lawrence, and it weighs in at five pounds. The three green rollers are also from Lawrence, and have held up very well considering they are about 15 years old. The poster composing stick hanging on the right was sold by R. Hoe & Company, and is easily 100 years old. The brackets used to hold the rollers are curtain-rod brackets; for the smaller rollers they had to be significantly altered to hang the rollers closer to the backing board. My father always cautioned that I didn't have to re-invent the wheel, but I have discovered in the letterpress field, and especially the hand-press part of it, that re-invention is almost a daily necessity.
Finally, the end of a slow burn decoration project.
A friend kindly gave us a whole load of vintage wallpaper scraps (mostly William Morris - including some interesting colour-ways from the 1960/70s - and a bit of Voysey). I also had some samples and offcuts left over from having wallpapered elsewhere in the house.
I decided I might frame a few so went into this great shop nearby stuffed literally floor to ceiling full of junk from house clearances. I said "How many frames will you let me have for 30 quid?". "Give me 40 and you can take the lot", he replied. Amazing! A few extra charity shop finds and I had enough to cover the entire corridor.
And so little by little over the last two years or so I've been framing everything up.
Earlier in the afternoon Transdev Wrights Renown "Refurb" Volvo B10. 1087, PO51MUA was seen and fotted in Wetherby on her way to Leeds on the 771 route. Then a small txt message tipped me off that she was now on Knaresborough Road service 1B from Harrogate to Eastfield in Knaresborough
She is seen here returning to Knaresborough Bus Station along Manor Road with Martin at the wheel....... Thanks a lot Martin
After so much pain and patient to peel off the kraft, clean, regrout, clean again, I think this is it.
Now, choose the right frame and...next project !
For two mornings in a row, there has been frost on the car windshields. Finally the maples have taken on some color.
A visit to Coughton Court in Warwickshire, on the Spring Bank Holiday Weekend in late May 2018. A National Trust property, it was the home of the Throckmorton family.
Coughton Court is an English Tudor country house, situated on the main road between Studley and Alcester in Warwickshire. It is a Grade I listed building.
The house has a long crenelated façade directly facing the main road, at the centre of which is the Tudor Gatehouse, dating from 1530; this has hexagonal turrets and oriel windows in the English Renaissance style. The gatehouse is the oldest part of the house and is flanked by later wings, in the Strawberry Hill Gothic style, popularised by Horace Walpole.
The Coughton estate has been owned by the Throckmorton family since 1409. The estate was acquired through marriage to the De Spinney family. Coughton was rebuilt by Sir George Throckmorton, the first son of Sir Robert Throckmorton of Coughton Court by Catherine Marrow, daughter of William Marrow of London. The great gatehouse at Coughton was dedicated to King Henry VIII by Throckmorton, a favorite of the King. Throckmorton would become notorious due to his almost fatal involvement in the divorce between King Henry and his first wife Catherine of Aragon. Throckmorton favoured the queen and was against the Reformation. Throckmorton spent most of his life rebuilding Coughton. In 1549, when he was planning the windows in the great hall, he asked his son Nicholas to obtain from the heralds the correct tricking (colour abbreviations) of the arms of his ancestors' wives and his own cousin and niece by marriage Queen Catherine Parr. The costly recusancy (refusal to attend Anglican Church services) of Robert Throckmorton and his heirs restricted later rebuilding, so that much of the house still stands largely as he left it.
After Throckmorton's death in 1552, Coughton passed to his eldest son, Robert. Robert Throckmorton and his family were practicing Catholics therefore the house at one time contained a priest hole, a hiding place for priests during the period when Catholics were persecuted by law in England, from the beginning of the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The Hall also holds a place in English history for its roles in both the Throckmorton Plot of 1583 to murder Queen Elizabeth I of England, and the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, although the Throckmorton family were themselves only indirectly implicated in the latter, when some of the Gunpowder conspirators rode directly there after its discovery.
The house has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1946. The family, however, hold a 300-year lease and previously managed the property on behalf of the Trust. In 2007, however, the house reverted to management by the National Trust. The management of the property is renewed every 10 years. The family tenant until recently was Clare McLaren-Throckmorton, known professionally as Clare Tritton QC, until she died on 31 October 2017.
The house, which is open to the public all year round, is set in extensive grounds including a walled formal garden, a river and a lake.
The gatehouse at Coughton was built at the earliest in 1536, as it is built of stones which came from Bordesley Abbey and Evesham Abbey after the Dissolution of the Monasteries Act in 1536. As with other Tudor houses, it was built around a courtyard, with the gatehouse used for deliveries and coaches to travel through to the courtyard. The courtyard was closed on all four sides until 1651, when Parliamentary soldiers burnt the fourth (east) wing, along with many of the Throckmorton's family papers, during the English Civil War.
After the Roman Catholic Relief Act was passed in 1829, the Throckmorton family were able to afford large-scale building works, allowing them to remodel the west front.

Zárókép az Auschwitz-sorozatból.
Nincs nagy hűhó, nincsenek elsötétÃtett helyiségek, múltidézÅ‘ hanghatások.
Csak a néma, borzasztó valóság.
És csend. Itt mindenki elcsendesül.

Thankyou Shaxx! After 50 or so crucible rank up packages, I finally got my hands on a year 2 longbow tonight. I admit I'm still in shock, partially due to the insane perk roll mine came with. Shortgaze, Ambush, and Hidden Hand, when I opened it, I acted a little like a kid on Christmas morning. Just an all around great weekend playing Destiny. It's very rare that I get any good weapons to drop, and this weekend was crazy, I got a nice hawksaw w near perfect stability, a party crasher as an end of game reward in the crucible dropping with aggressive ballistics and rifled barrel, and a conspiracy theory out of a blue engram also with aggressive ballistics and rifled barrel, a darkblades spite with braced frame from the nightfall, and then this beautiful sniper drops as kind of the cherry on top of my weekend. It seems like 95 percent of the time I'm disappointed in the rewards I get from destiny, but these 5 percent when the stars align...it's why we play. Worth.
There are 6 photos from this series...which I'm calling "Scared at Bedtime". This little guy is so sensitive. He really gets scared easily. Even cuddly tv characters like "Big Bird" scare him! This was after he was FINALLY feeling better. The story behind this series---The postman comes around his naptime on a motorbike and it makes a really loud noise. He cringes when he hears it. So I put him in our bed this day. I think he might have played it up so he could STAY in our bed for naptime. He won! I just loved the emotion in these shots. I have been meaning to do more 'genuine' emotion shots this year, and I'm really happy with how this series turned out.
Finally here! There is one thing I changes from the teaser picture. I moved the engine intake down one plate. There was already pieces that weren't connected to the car already so that's why I did the change, so now there are more pieces not connected.
The model still would be displayable in real life without pieces falling to the ground though, just don't pick it up. This is one of my favorite Can-Am cars so I had to make one.

It's not much of a photo quality-wise. It looks a bit better large. It is a cropped, low light shot taken with my iPhone. But I am excited; it took me YEARS to get this shot!
Hopefully I can explain...
As you all know, Dora loves to snooze in her hammock. One of the funniest, most adorable things is the way she flips up the top cover and pokes her head up when someone walks by. It's just the way she does it, it cracks me up every time. I am glad to have finally captured it.
Happy Mother's Day to all you moms-- I hope your day is filled with love and laughter.
Finally home and settled down here back in the beautiful USA .. I cannot begin to tell you how awesome it is..
This is my beautiful wife Ashley and my son Aspen, who is hardly the same even kid that I remembered!!
Our business has been crazy busy since we got back with lots of shoots so its been interesting for sure!
Hope you guys are all having a great weekend!
To avoid Anahid once more being frozen to an icycle Iggy surprised her with a holiday in the warmth of her home country. While spending time under the sun, within bright colours and relaxation without work and 'someone' trying to take over their wedding, the pair decided to elope and get married on the spot.
After years of evading a certain someone's question when they would finally get married (yes we mean you Reese) they tied the knot on Wednesday, the 19th of January in front of Ganesha guiding their path into a new chapter.
i got this yesterday (june 7, 2008)
it means a lot to me and i've wanted it for a long time now. i'm so happy that i've finally done it.
(this is for every person that plays an important role in my life.
and it is also to remind myself that when there is no one else there i have the strength within myself.....corny.....but true.)
So why did I title this FINALLY? Well all the way back on October 22, 2009, I submitted this as my week one entry to this fledgling Musically Challenged group. Feeling Croppy chose that weeks songs. Her and Alibubba were the founders of the group. This image was for The Logical Song By Supertramp. I decided to throw my name into the hat to pick a weeks song list. I ended up being Week 14, so on January 23, 2010 I got to post my first list of songs.
So here we are, and I FINALLY get to post my second list of songs for week 95 of the Musically Challenged group starting Sunday! ! No idea why it took so long, rumors and conspiracy theories abound, but I am just glad to get to post my new list after almost a year and a half of waiting ;-)
If you have never played in the group, you should check it out! It's a great way to find inspiration for photos, and there are some pretty cool people that play along as well! It's also a cool way to get exposed to all kinds of different music :-)
So stop by the Musically Challenged group on Sunday and my list should be up. If you find something you like, then play along!
TGIF :-)
*** If any of you have experience selling an image to a book publisher, please FM me. I am looking for information on pricing and licensing.***
... there's light at the end of the tunnel. 1000 photos on my account now. :)
Wishing you a happy weekend!
