James was sitting by Carson Pirie Scott on Madison. A mild-mannered friendly man. It was a slow day for him. He usually sits out here. He’s been out here for about 11 months when his wife passed away. He said he has a speech impediment since his stroke, which affected his right side. It just takes him awhile for him to put thoughts together he said. He wants people to know that he’s not out here “for the fun of it”, he has needs and is trying to get assistance. This picture sums up his personality perfectly...
James seemed really surprised when i asked if i could photograph him. He looked almost frightened. He cringed as if i might hit him.
He was missing most of his teeth so he tended to mumble. He had sores on his face and arms and was so very thin. His eyes were red and bleary.
I fired off a couple of shots, sort of throw-aways just to gauge the situation. I told him i put the photos i take of Barstow people online. I always do that just so they know.
We talked about how he ended up on the streets and where he slept.
The homeless shelter Desert Manna won’t allow his dog so he sleeps rough. "I won’t go anywhere without my dog — Baby Girl.”
“Sometimes i go up to the park but there’s always drunks there and i don’t drink so i don’t like to go to the park."
I asked him if it would be ok if i gave him some money. He nodded yes. I muttered something like “maybe for some food or something ...”
Indistinctly he said “ ... daughter ... killed...” but i wasn’t sure so i let it slide by.
Between the two of us there was a lot of mumbling going on.
“Baby Girl” [the dog] was born in my bed — she’s 14 years old. When my daughter was killed, i got her.”
“She was born in my bed,” he repeated under his breath.
He _did_ say his daughter was killed. Oh the sadness in those blood-shot, wet eyes. My heart hurt.
“She was killed texting while driving.”
What do you say after that?
We were walking together to the crosswalk when i reached for a $20 bill in my pocket and gave it to him.
His eyes got tearier and mine welled up.
These photo walks can be very emotionally draining.
Our propane company made some major miscalculations and we came close to running out of fuel right before the sub zero windchills. To say we were happy to see James is an understatement.

Energetic, wise-cracking James Cagney (1899-1986) was an American film actor, famous for his gangster roles in the 1930s and 1940s. One of the brightest stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood, Cagney was not only a multifaceted tough guy but also an accomplished dancer and he easily played light comedy.
James Francis 'Jimmy' Cagney was born in 1899 on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in New York City. His parents were Carolyn (Nelson) and James Francis Cagney, Sr., who was a bartender and amateur boxer. Jimmy had one sister, the actress Jeanne Cagney, and three brothers, including the actor and film producer William Cagney who was also his manager. In his first professional acting performance in 1919, Cagney was costumed as a woman when he danced in the chorus line of the revue 'Every Sailor'. In 1920, Cagney was a member of the chorus for the show 'Pitter Patter,' where he met Frances Willard "Billie" Vernon. They married the following year. Cagney spent several years in vaudeville as a dancer and comedian, until he got his first major acting part in 1925. He played a young tough guy in the three-act play 'Outside Looking In' by Maxwell Anderson. He secured several other roles, receiving good notices, before landing the lead in the 1929 play 'Penny Arcade'. When Warner Bros. Pictures bought the film rights to the play, they took Cagney and his colleague Joan Blondell from the theatre to the big-screen version, retitled Sinner's Holiday (John G. Adolfi, 1930). Cagney received a full seven-year contract at $400 a week. His role as the sympathetic "bad" guy was to become a recurring character type for Cagney throughout his career. Cagney's fifth film, The Public Enemy (William A. Wellman, 1931) with Jean Harlow, became one of the most influential gangster movies of the period. Notable for a famous scene in which Cagney pushes a grapefruit against Mae Clarke's face, the film thrust him into the spotlight. Cagney starred in many films after that and was nicknamed the tough guy by a series of crime films such as Blonde Crazy (Roy Del Ruth, 1931) with Joan Blondell, and Hard to Handle (Mervyn LeRoy, 1933) with Mary Brian. Sandra Brennan at AllMovie: "Cagney was a small, rather plain-looking man, and had few of the external qualities usually associated with the traditional Hollywood leading man during the '30s. Yet, inside, he was a dynamo, able to project contentious and arrogant confidence that made him the ideal Hollywood tough guy." However, Cagney was not content to simply play one type of role.
From 1935 on, James Cagney was cast more frequently in non-gangster roles. He played a lawyer who joins the FBI in G-Men (William Keighley, 1935) with Ann Dvorak. That year, he also took on his first, and only, Shakespearean role, as top-billed Nick Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream (Max Reinhardt, 1935) alongside Joe E. Brown as Flute and Mickey Rooney as Puck. In 1938 he received his first Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for his subtle portrayal of the tough guy/man-child Rocky Sullivan in Angels with Dirty Faces (Michael Curtiz, 1938) with Pat O'Brien. In 1942 Cagney won the Oscar for his energetic portrayal of George M. Cohan in Yankee Doodle Dandy (Michael Curtiz, 1942). Later memorable films were White Heat (Raoul Walsh, 1949) with the quote "Made it, Ma! Top of the world!", and Mister Roberts (John Ford, Mervyn LeRoy, 1955) opposite Henry Fonda. He was one of the founders of the Screen Actors Guild and was its president from 1942-1944. The satire One, Two, Three (Billy Wilder, 1961) was the end of a career that spanned more than 70 films. During the next decades, Cagney turned down all roles in order to spend time learning to paint (at which he became very good) and maintaining his farm in Stanfordville, New York. In 1974, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute. After 1979, his health declined rapidly and he suffered from diabetes. Then he returned to the cinema for a small but crucial role in Ragtime (Milos Forman, 1981), the screen adaptation of E.L. Doctorow's novel. In this film, he was reunited with his frequent co-star of the 1930s, Pat O'Brien. In 1984 he also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from his friend Ronald Reagan. Cagney's final performance came in the title role of the made-for-TV movie Terrible Joe Moran (Joseph Sargent, 1984), in which he played as a grumpy ex-prizefighter opposite Art Carney. In 1986, he died of a heart attack in Stanfordville (New York), at the age of 86. He is buried in Hawthorne in New York. Cagney and his wife, Frances Wilhard "Billie" Vernon (1899-1994), were together for 64 years. They adopted a son, James Cagney Jr., and a daughter, Cathleen "Casey" Cagney. James Cagney's electric acting style was a huge influence on future generations of actors. According to IMDb, actors as diverse as Clint Eastwood and Malcolm McDowell point to him as their number one influence to become actors.

The King of Funk, James Brown, on a southside graffiti wall vandalized with gang graffiti. How ironic.
I fell in love with this. I believe it's a 1940s James Comet with a Villiers 10D engine. The owner first had this bike when he was 12 years old. For reasons long forgotten his Dad confiscated the bike. It stood unused for decades and when his Dad sadly recently passed away he reclaimed it. It still runs and he's going to keep it just the way it is with just a little mechanical fettling.

Not happy with contribution, painted alongside Colt 45 and Keen53.... the sun was out, and so was everyone else.... busy down tottenham. Shouts to all
James Bond Island from “The Man with the Golden Gun”, also known as Ko Tapu or Nail Island locally. Way too many tourists here, I would not recommend getting a tour group, a private tour would have been a lot better!
This is a three-masted, iron-hulled barque, restored and sailed by the Sydney Heritage Fleet. She is seen here in 2009 at her berth at Wharf 7, Darling Harbour, near Australia's National Maritime Museum.
Built in 1874 in Sunderland by Bartram, Haswell, & Co., she was originally named Clan Macleod. She was employed carrying cargo around the world, and rounded Cape Horn 23 times in 26 years. In 1900 she was acquired by Mr J J Craig, renamed James Craig in 1905, and began to operate between New Zealand and Australia until 1911.
Unable to compete profitably with freight cargo, in later years James Craig was used as a collier. Like many other sailing ships of her vintage, she fell victim to the advance of steamships, and was first laid up, then used as a hulk, until eventually being abandoned at Recherche Bay in Tasmania. In 1932 she was sunk by fishermen who blasted a 3m hole in her stern.
Restoration began in 1972, when volunteers from the 'Lady Hopetoun and Port Jackson Marine Steam Museum' (now the Sydney Heritage Fleet) refloated her and towed her to Hobart for initial repairs. Brought back to Sydney under tow in 1981, her hull was placed on a submersible pontoon to allow work on the restoration to proceed. Over 25 years, the vessel was restored, repaired by both paid craftspeople and volunteers and relaunched in 1997. In 2001 restoration work was completed and she now goes to sea again.
She is open to the public, and takes passengers out sailing on Sydney Harbour and beyond. She is crewed and maintained by volunteers from the Sydney Heritage Fleet. The cost of maintaining her is approaching A$1 million a year and the ship relies on generating income from visitors alongside, charters, events, and regular fortnightly daysails with up to 80 passengers.
She is deemed to be of exceptional historical value in that she is one of only four 19th century barques in the world that still go regularly to sea. As such she is a working link to a time when similar ships carried the bulk of global commerce in their holds. Thousands of similar ships plied the oceans in the 19th and early 20th centuries linking the old world, the new world, Asia and Oceania. She is sailed in the traditional 19th century manner entirely by volunteers from the Master to the galley crew. Her running rigging consists of 140 lines secured to belaying pins and spider bands. Many of the crew know each rope by name. She achieved 11.3 knots on a return voyage from Melbourne in February 2006 and "she was loving every minute of it!" - from Wikipedia.
The Ko Ta Pu rock, seen from Khao Phing Kan, a.k.a. James Bond Island, Phang Nga Bay, Thailand.
This island was featured in the 1974 James Bond movie "The Man With The Golden Gun". It is currently a major tourist attraction.
This photo was taken using a Panasonic Lumix 20mm f/1.7 "pancake" lens and Olympus OM-D E-M10 camera.
If you have seen the James Bond film “No Time to Die”, you probably know it was filmed partly in the Faroe Islands, and Bond’s gravestone is on the island of Kalsoy, right up in the north of the archipelago. This coach has carried the livery ever since, and has been parked in various places, currently outside a private house in Brattabrekka.
St James Gate shot from the tracks. Have to admit, I'm pretty pleased with this one. I got the hyperfocal distance just right and I think the image came out pretty moody.
An HDRI comprised of 6 shots. Focal distance was set at 1.2 feet according to my iPhone "DoF" app. This is down a little side street facing the gate. If you go up to the gate, turn left, then right, you'll be with all the other tourists.

James Abbott McNeill Whistler (July 14, 1834 – July 17, 1903) was an American-born, British-based painter and etcher. Averse to sentimentality in painting, he was a leading proponent of the credo "art for art's sake". He took to signing his paintings with a stylised butterfly, possessing a long stinger for a tail. The symbol was apt, for Whistler's art was characterised by a subtle delicacy, in contrast to his combative public persona. Finding a parallel between painting and music, Whistler titled many of his paintings "arrangements", "harmonies", and "nocturnes".
In 1863 Whistler's mother moved to England to be with her son. In 1871 his style moved towards greater simplicity when he painted Arrangement in Grey and Black: Portrait of the Painter's Mother. The figure sits in profile on a light background. The horizontal lines of the skirting boards are what holds the elements in place; the only decoration seen in the light dabs of paint defining a pattern on the curtain. The painting was purchased by the French government and is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.

One of my favorite spots on the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Harry Flood Byrd bridge. I've taken thousands of shots from this spot ( even had one published :) but am never satisfied so I keep coming back again and again. This one I like because of the gorgeous sky but the water was just a bit too turbulent to get that perfect reflection... one of these days the conditions will be perfect, and I'll probably be working!
As another night in the Ammo Arms gets under way, James cannot but notice that there is something different about Electra??
As I had to buy a new body for Jenna due to heavy staining from dark clothes, I decided to use Jenna's old body for Electra, upgrading her to a phicen body. I had to trim down the rubber on the neck to accommodate the CY Girl head. I think she came out really well.
