I'm trying to get organized, I like having as many elements as possible on hand......this allows each piece to be one of a kind.
I've been so under the gun to get this bike done in time for Classic Rendezvous Weekend that I've totally dropped the ball with taking and posting pictures. I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel so I figured I'd catch up a little
Home grown tail light.
I was recently contacted by Chris Pullen, the editor of this book:
www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415998673/
He is writing a new book about the "It Gets Better" project. He ran across my Flickr photo collage linked below, and asked if he could use it in his book.
I told him that I couldn't give him permission to use that particular collage because I don't own the rights to any of the original images. But, I offered to create a new collage in which I would get advanced permission to use the images from the photographers/subjects. For this new collage, I decided to focus specifically on friends that I have made here on Flickr.
I'm excited about being asked to participate in this project. And, at the risk of sounding mushy, I'm charmed that all of the individuals in this collage agreed to participate. I have made so many wonderful friends on Flickr who have inspired me and supported me, both creatively and personally. These are but a few who I am closest to. Unfortunately, I was not able to include every great contact I have made on Flickr. So, I hope that no one feels left out.
This is the final collage that I have submitted for publication. I also wrote the caption below, understanding that the author may or may not be able to include it and/or may need to edit or rewrite it.
"After joining Flickr.com, I quickly discovered that it's much more than a photo sharing site, it's also a social network. I have met dozens of wonderfully creative, and friendly people on Flickr, from all around the world. When I started seeing several of my Flickr friends post photos with the "it gets better" theme, I realized that it really does get better… not in spite of being gay, but because of being gay. Being gay doesn't prevent friendships, it creates friendships.
Chris Pullen asked me if he could use a collage that I had created of photos of family, friends and loved ones in this book. Instead, I offered to create this new collage specifically featuring Flickr friends from across the US, including Puerto Rico and as far-reaching as the Canada, The United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Italy and Brazil."
Thanks to input from Bob Montgomery 2012, we now know that this bicycle race took place on the cycle track built by William G.D. Goff, pioneer cyclist and motorist, in the People's Park, Waterford. The track opened in May 1891.
