Port Isaac has been an attractive fishing village since the early fourteenth century. Its narrow, winding streets are lined with old white-washed cottages and traditional granite, slate-fronted Cornish houses, many of which are listed as of architectural or historic importance. From the Middle Ages until the middle of the 19th century, Port Isaac was a busy port handling various imports and exports, including coal, timber, pottery and Delabole slate.
believe it or not I actually draw occasionally, still. Done for Beth Wagner's self-published "Isaac & Lee". I'm still a bit rusty, and I think it shows. Mind you, this was done in two days.

Port Isaac (Cornish: Porthysek) is a small and picturesque fishing village on the Atlantic coast of north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The nearest towns are Wadebridge and Camelford, both ten miles away. Port Gaverne, commonly mistaken to be part of Port Isaac, is a nearby hamlet that has its own history. The meaning of the Cornish name is "corn port", indicating a trade in corn from the arable inland district.
Since the 1980s the village has served as backdrop to various television productions, including the ITV series Doc Martin, and is home to the group Fisherman's Friends, sea-shanty singers.
The morning of this picture I decided to go out and try to find someone for the project, so I grabbed my camera and headed out the door. In the rush I forgot to bring my notepad and pen, so I decided to stop and grab what I needed from a dollar store.
This young man was sleeping outside the store on the sidewalk as I hurried into the store. While I searched the isles for what I needed, I knew that I should try to engage with the young man outside when I had what I needed.
My camera was still in my car so I had to go back there to fetch it, and I have to say, my instinct was to just say forget it and carry on, but I grabbed the camera and headed back towards him.
Isaac appeared to be asleep as I approached him, but he opened his eyes and noticed me coming at him and sat up. There was no way to bail out now!
I introduced myself and explained what I have been doing and asked if he would be willing to take part in the project.
Without hesitation he said yes, brushed himself off and immediately produced a smile. I chatted with him a bit and he explained that he had just lost his apartment a couple of weeks ago, and has been living like this since. He said it was temporary and hasn't been too bad, but the recent nights have been getting cooler so being outside was becoming more difficult - as evidenced by the black plastic bag he was wrapped in when I found him sleeping.
This is not his first time living on the streets. When he was 18, circumstances led him to leave home and he spent his first nights without a roof then. Isaac did seem optimistic and hopeful about improving his situation. He told me that he wanted to get a job in construction, and that he was heading to an agency later that day to get setup with some help with that.
I wished Isaac good luck, thanked him for sharing a tough situation with me, and gave him a little something to get a breakfast in him.
I did get a head shot portrait of Isaac, and struggled somewhat with posting the one I chose above. But I felt this environmental portrait you see was more accurate of the interaction we had, and more honest to the situation I found him in.
This interaction was not one I expected to have during the project, and while there is not much I can do to help Isaac, it feels good to share his back story and maybe humanize the struggle that he and others like him are going through.

Isaac Stern was an American violinist
(21 July 1920 – 22 September 2001)
The son of Solomon and Clara Stern, Isaac Stern was born in Kremenets, Poland (now Ukraine), into a Jewish family. He was 14 months old when his family moved to San Francisco in 1921. He received his first music lessons from his mother. In 1928, he enrolled at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where he studied until 1931 before going on to study privately with Louis Persinger. He returned to the San Francisco Conservatory to study for five years with Naoum Blinder, to whom he said he owed the most. At his public début on 18 February 1936, aged 15, he played Saint-Saëns' Violin Concerto No. 3 in B minor with the San Francisco Symphony under the direction of Pierre Monteux. Reflecting on his background, Stern once memorably quipped that cultural exchanges between the U.S. and Soviet Russia were simple affairs:
"They send us their Jews from Odessa, and we send them our Jews from Odessa."
Stern toured the Soviet Union in 1951, the first American violinist to do so. In 1967, Stern stated his refusal to return to the USSR until the Soviet regime allowed artists to enter and leave the country freely. His only visit to Germany was in 1999, for a series of master classes, but he never performed publicly in Germany.
Stern was married three times. His first marriage, in 1948 to ballerina Nora Kaye, ended in divorce after 18 months, but the two of them subsequently remained friends. On 17 August 1951, he married Vera Lindenblit. They had three children together, including conductors Michael and David Stern. Their marriage ended in divorce in 1994 after 43 years. In 1996, Stern married his third wife, Linda Reynolds. His third wife, his three children, and his five grandchildren survived him.
Stern died 22 September 2001 of heart failure in a Manhattan, New York, hospital after an extended stay

The grave of eminent 19th century astronomer Isaac Roberts and his wife. A grey granite monolith with elaborate decoration.
"Isaac Roberts was renowned for his considerable advancements in the field of astrophotography
He developed a technique of "piggyback" astronomical photography, mounting the camera/lens on a larger equatorial mounted telescope that was used as a "guidescope". The combination kept the camera aimed accurately over the long exposure time as the Earth rotated.
Most consider Roberts' magnum opus to be a photograph showing the structure of M31, the Great Nebula in Andromeda (now known as the Andromeda Galaxy). He made the photo on 29 December 1888, using a 20-inch aperture reflecting telescope. The long exposure photograph revealed that the nebula had a spiral structure, which was quite unexpected at the time. Photographs such as this changed astronomy by revealing the true form of nebulae and clusters, and eventually helped to develop the theories about galaxies. He published his celestial portfolio in a large format book that is the first popular account of celestial photography of the deep sky.
Roberts also invented a machine called the Stellar Pantograver that could engrave stellar positions on copper plates."

Isaac Asimov has got to be one of my favourite authors ever. A proper icon. In today's world of vapid and empty sounding celebrities who are famous for nothing more than looking good here we have a true celebrity. Famous for being outstanding in his chosen field. Not only was he terrifyingly prolific - his bibliography is over 500 works long (and that doesn't include individual short stories) - but he was far ahead of his time when it came to imagining the future and humanity's part in it.
His 'Foundation' and 'Robot' series are some of the finest science-fiction works available and I would urge you to get them read. Countless of his stories have been made into films and many of his ideas have influenced a wide range of creators. In honour of his work and the inspirational stories he imagined we thought we'd immortalise him on slate. Combining his distinctive glasses with an exposed robot eye gave us the germ of an idea and from there we were away. I reckon that once this one has been framed suitably it will look spot on. Hopefully we'll have a few more in this series once I can actually work out who else is worth commemorating...

Port Isaac is a small fishing village on the north coast of Cornwall. This was taken from a cliff top that looks back towards the harbour and the village. Originally taken in colour, after looking at it I thought it had more mood as a BW.
Russian-American genre scene painter, Isaac Soyer, specialised in portraits, interiors and dancers. He was born 1902 in Tombrov, Russia and along with his family emigrated to the United States in 1912. Isaac had two older twin brothers, Raphael and Moses Soyer who were also artists. They settled in New York City, inspired by everyday attitudes, thoughts, and gestures of people doing everyday tasks. Isaac Soyer died in New York City in 1981.

My son Isaac laughing at me while he waits patiently outside Bewilderwood, the 'treehouse adventure park' in Norfolk, in the UK, that we took him to for his 6th birthday. I was trying to get a nice picture of him with the '6' badge on his jacket visible but he, and the wind that day, didn't want to cooperate. And yes, we did call him 'gappy' all day!
Isaac is one of the newer heroes around, because of this his knowledge on combat is minimal, so he's on door opening duty.

Ramstein, Germany 2008
On the early morning of September 11, 2001, walking through lower Manhattan, New York City, Ethan Isaac saw something unfold before his eyes that would alter the course of his life. He would later capture his experiences in a song called “Into the Sunlight.” The song found its way to the offices of Armed Forces Entertainment, and so began a mission for Ethan and his band that continues to this day: bring music and fun to an audience of some of the most die-hard music fans Ethan has met; the soldiers of the US millitary.
To date, Edisun has performed for US troops in over 20 countries, including tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay, among many other places around the world where no band would typically choose to play. For Ethan Isaac, who never forgot his experience of fighting through the soot, smoke, and ash to escape Manhattan on the morning of 9-11, perhaps all of this was inevitable. The band's efforts to boost troop morale have garnered media attention world-wide, with Edisun's story being featured on ABC World News Tonight, and in a wide array of publications including The Wall Street Journal, New York Post and Rolling Stone Magazine.
They released their first self-titled full-length studio album in 2010, breaking through the noise of active-rock radio with their melodic rock songs “Medicate” and “Wide Awake." SInce then, they've produced several more videos, driven thousands of miles across 48 of the United States and flown on tours across Asia, Africa, Europe, Scandinavia, Baltic States, and the Middle East. They've done media interviews by Rolling Stone Magazine, Wall Street Journal, and ABC World News Tonight and participated in charity drives to raise awareness and money for pediatric cancer, ALS research, human rights and veterans causes. In 2010 their song “Ready to Believe” was picked up by ESPN for use during various sports shows and championship games, and also caught the ear of US Olympic athlete Kelly Gunther, Sony Electronics, and nationally syndicated NBC sports host Dan Patrick, and the US Army.
Continuing to chart their own unique course in an ever-evolving music career, Edisun released their second album Collision on July 31, 2015. With worldwide distribution by ILS/Universal Music Canada/Caroline Music, Edisun released the new 9 song album on Factory Underground Records. This diverse album reveals the band's deep alternative roots, yet retains the active rock sound that attracted Edisun fans at the start. Dark acoustic textures round out the album marked by soaring vocals, introspective lyrics, and tightly knit, progressive arrangements. Produced by Claude Villani and Charley Drayton, with mixing by Kenny Cash, John Shyloski and Ron Saint Germain, Collision was recorded at Factory Underground Studio in Norwalk, Ct.
With "Pins and Needles" spinning in the Top 40 of the Under the Radar chart and breaking organically at Mediabase Active Rock stations across the US, the album’s diverse colors have put it into heavy rotation on 50+ college and Triple A stations nationally--all of this marking Edisun’s growth as a band from where it started purely in the Active Rock market. The evolution of the group continues with multi-media projects, appearances on reality television shows, and constantly evolving music video content. Never forsaking its roots as a touring band, Edisun continues to travel across the US and around the world to play for military and non-military fans alike. True to form and in keeping with their unique history, Edisun's next show will be on Veteran's Day weekend, when they take the stage to perform for US troops stationed in Southwest Asia.
