The Park Lane Hotel in London was hosting an exhibition of iconic David Bailey Photographs, which I’d gone to view with 3 other photo-friends. It was fairly quiet in the bar and I saw Rachel enjoying a beer with her (male) friend. We were feeling thirsty and before too long the 6 of us were chatting away – ½ hour spent in excellent and amusing company.
Rachel is a beautician, having studied at College. She lives in Kent but travels regularly into London by train for work. She has two children – boy and girl. When asked to guess her age, I was only 2 years out but won’t reveal it on Flickr (!)
I asked what she felt was her proudest achievement and she replied straight away “...my 2 children” – quite a common response I’ve found with this 100 Strangers Project.
I also asked Rachel what her favourite piece of music was – and “Sacrifice” by Elton John was the immediate choice!
Rachel had no problem with her photo being taken. I took 3 and the one I’ve posted is the one she approved of. I handed my Flickr details over and Emailed the photos a couple of days later. The indoor low-light was fairly challenging so I opened up the lens, which also helped to blur some of the distracting lighting in the background.
Thanks Rachel for being part of my project to photograph 100 strangers

Från kronogård till utarrenderad egendom
Även från 1600-talet finns uppgifter om skatt som betalades i form av mjöl och ål. Ålgård var en kronogård (ägd av staten) fram till 1689. Då donerades gården till kronobefallningsmannen (kronofogde) Johan Seth, som också bodde där något år. Gården förblev i släktens ägo till 1827.
Därefter kom en period med många ägarbyten, ibland bolag med flera ägare, ibland enstaka eller enskild ägare. Fåtal ägare har själva varit mjölnare. De som ägde fastigheten fick som regel en viss procentdel av intäkterna från kvarn, såg och ålfiske. Periodvis har ytterligare en arrendator eller en dräng tagit hand om djur och jordbruk.
Den ursprungliga kvarnen låg vid Grindsbyvattnets naturliga utlopp. Vattennivån i Grindsbyvattnet reglerades genom ett dämme fäst i berghällarna en liten bit nedströms. Järnbultarna från de gamla dammluckorna finns fortfarande kvar alldeles under den lilla träbro som byggts över vattnet.
