He used to be black space guy (I don't want to sound racist here. His space suit was black.) until he was accidently zapped when testing an experimental lazer. His body parts were blasted into space and never found. Since then, his fellow space guys plugged his head onto a cyborg body and gave him a shiny silver helmet that is now part of his body, preventing his head from rolling off. I painted the space logo.

For the full story regarding this collection of images Please read the NEW album introduction HERE; www.flickr.com/photos/jbschofield/sets/72157632196706891/... It tells a much fuller story than that provided below.
This is a scanned print from a collection of photographs taken by the late Jim Taylor A number of years ago I was offered a large number of photographs taken by Jim Taylor, a transport photographer based in Huddersfield. The collection consisted of 30,000 prints,20,000 negatives – and copyright! Although some prints were sold elsewhere, particularly the popular big fleet stuff, I should have the negatives, unfortunately they came to me in a random mix, without any sort of indexing and as such it would be impossible to match negatives to prints, or, to even find a print of any particular vehicle. I have only ever looked at a handful myself unless I am scanning them.
I hope to avoid posting images that Jim had not taken his self, however should I inadvertently infringe another photographers copyright, please inform me by email and I will resolve the issue immediately. There are copyright issues with some of the photographs that were sold to me. A Flickr member from Scotland drew my attention to some of his own work amongst the first uploads of Jims work. I had a quick look through some of the 30 boxes of prints and decided that for the time being the safest thing for me to do was withdraw the majority of the earlier uploaded scans and deal with the problem – which I did. whilst the vast majority of the prints are Jims, there is a problem defining copyright of some of them, this is something that the seller did not make clear at the time. I am reasonably confident that I have since been successful in identifying Jims own work.
You may notice photographs being duplicated in this Album, unfortunately there are multiple copies of many prints (for swapping) and as I have to have a system of archiving and backing up I can only guess - using memory - if I have scanned a print before. It is easier to scan and process a print than check my files - on three different PC's - for duplicates. There has not been, nor will there ever be, any intention to knowingly breach anyone else's copyright. I have presented the Jim Taylor collection as exactly that-The Jim Taylor Collection- his work not mine, my own work is quite obviously mine. To anyone reading the above it will be quite obvious that I can’t provide information regarding specific photos or potential future uploads in this Album – I didn't take them!
None of my photographs are free to use - only free to view!
Please read the album intro’ before contacting me with requests, it may answer your query.

I met him today while on a walk-he was talking to another neighbor, Linda. He and his wife and daughter are staying with his in-laws. His wife and daughter loved the dogs. Never did get his name.
Today was a day of meeting folks. A young man that moved in up the street asked me if I was a photographer, as I walk by. I told him it was just a a hobby. He told me the he and his girlfriend are planning on getting married at the end of the street, by the river, and wanted to know if I would consider taking some wedding photos for him. I said sure, just let me know when. He said soon as the pick a day he will let me know. I made sure he and his girlfriend know I am not a Wedding Photographer, just a guy that likes taking photos.
The guys arrived today and replaced the old plastic gutters we had with new metal seamless ones. They will clean and fix the old metal ones as well. Also they will come back each year, clean and repair them as needed. I'm happy to finally see this done!
Guy Bailey was drafted into the US navy in 1943, at the age of 17, and spent the next couple of years operating teletype apparatus, climbing masts to maintain shipboard antennae and, on bad days, hauling huge bags of classified messages to the incinerator, turning them into a slurry of ash and water and dumping the gloopy mix over the side of the boat. By the time he came home from the war, not yet 20, he had become a radioman, first class.
There wasn't much call for radiomen in New Castle, so he worked in construction for a few years before the navy recalled him and sent him off to Korea in 1950, where he would have passed his days doing pretty much what he'd done in world war 2.
Between his wars, he found time to marry a woman called Agnes Lynch, have a son with her and drunkenly crash his car into a parked car on Washington street, which resulted in him posing for this busted-lip mugshot on July 27, 1948, when he was 22.
After the Korean war, New Castle still hadn't come up with a use for Bailey's special radioman skills, so he went back to his construction job, where he worked until he died in 1975, at the age of 49, just two months after the death of his wife.
