This is one of 2 final animations for my latest ISTD project which has been sent off for examination- yay!
This is basically just typographically expressing the lyrics in the song: Papa's Got a Brand New Bag by James Brown.
(Just got the results... I got the ISTD award for both animations!)

STROBIST INFO:
I used a GODOX v850 flash inside an Apollo 28 inch softbox, triggered by the FT-16 trigger. Thanks to the leaf shutter in the x100t I was able to use a 1/1250 shutter speed to kill off some of the ambient light.

this was new to Shearings but came to James Travel from Cymru Coaches..
This is James, a homeless man whom I encountered on Edgewood Avenue while I was taking pictures of one of the old factory buildings there. He gave me some pointers about where I could find other ones and shared bits of his life story.
James identified himself as a "Grady baby" and mentioned that his mother died there, many years later of course. James also let me know that he was hit by a car at the age of 6 while crossing Marietta Street on his way to school. The ambulance took him to Grady. Grady Hospital, about a half mile from where we were standing, was much on James's mind.

.ate today for the first time in about two months which is good news. He's rapidly becoming a "senior citizen" at most likely 25+ years old. He has a small piece of unshed skin on his chin which will soon fall off. I've cared for him for 21 years. He's an albino Burmese python (Python molurus bivittatus). Life span for Burmese pythons is around 25 - 30 years. Photo by Frank.

American actor James Stewart (1908-1997) is among the most honored and popular stars in film history. Known for his distinctive drawl and everyman screen persona, Stewart had a film career that spanned over 55 years and 80 films.
James Maitland Stewart was born in 1908, in Indiana, Pennsylvania. Stewart started acting while studying at Princeton University. After graduating in 1932, he began a career as a stage actor, appearing on Broadway and in summer stock productions. In 1935, he signed a film contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). The studio did not see leading man material in Stewart, but after three years of supporting roles and being loaned out to other studios, he had his big breakthrough in Frank Capra's ensemble comedy You Can't Take It with You (1938). Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, the film is about a man (Stewart) from a family of rich snobs who becomes engaged to a woman (Jean Arthur) from a good-natured but decidedly eccentric family. The following year, Stewart got his first Oscar nomination for his portrayal of an idealised and virtuous man who becomes a senator in Capra's Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (Frank Capra, 1939), again opposite Jean Arthur. He won the Academy Award for his work in the screwball comedy The Philadelphia Story (George Cukor, 1940), which also starred Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant. A licensed amateur pilot, Stewart enlisted as a private in the Army Air Corps as soon as he could after the United States entered the Second World War in 1941. Although still an MGM star, his only public and film appearances in 1941—1945 were scheduled by the Air Corps. After fighting in the European theater of war, he had attained the rank of colonel and had received several awards for his service. He remained in the U.S. Air Force Reserve and was promoted to brigadier general in 1959. He retired in 1968 and was awarded the United States Air Force Distinguished Service Medal.
After the war, James Stewart had difficulties in adapting to changing Hollywood and even thought about ending his acting career. He became a freelancer, and had his first postwar role was as George Bailey in Capra's It's a Wonderful Life (Frank Capra, 1946) with Donna Reed. Although it earned him an Oscar nomination, the film was not a big success at first. It has gained in popularity in the decades since its release and is considered a Christmas classic and one of Stewart's most famous performances. In the 1950s, Stewart experienced a career revival by playing darker, more morally ambiguous characters in Westerns and thrillers. Some of his most important collaborations during this period were with directors Anthony Mann, with whom he made eight films including Winchester '73 (1950), The Glenn Miller Story (1954) and The Naked Spur (1953), and Alfred Hitchcock, with whom he collaborated on Rope (1948), Rear Window (1954), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), and Vertigo (1958) with Kim Novak. Vertigo was ignored by critics at its time of release, but has since been reevaluated and recognised as an American cinematic masterpiece. His other films in the 1950s included the Broadway adaptation Harvey (Henry Koster, 1950) and the courtroom drama Anatomy of a Murder (Otto Preminger, 1959), both of which landed him Oscar nominations. He was one of the most popular film stars of the decade, with most of his films becoming box office successes. Stewart's later Westerns included The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) and Cheyenne Autumn (1964), both directed by John Ford. He signed a lucrative multi-movie deal with 20th Century-Fox in 1962 and appeared in many popular family comedies during the decade. After a brief venture into television acting, Stewart semi-retired by the 1980s, although he remained a public figure due to the renewed interest in his films with Capra and Hitchcock and his appearances at President Reagan's White House. He received many honorary awards, including an honorary Academy Honorary Award and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, both in 1985. Stewart remained unmarried until his 40s and was dubbed "The Great American Bachelor" by the press. In 1949, he married former model Gloria Hatrick McLean. They had twin daughters, and he adopted her two sons from her previous marriage. The marriage lasted until McLean's death in 1994. James Stewart died of a pulmonary embolism three years later in Beverly Hills.

Portrait of my friend James, a homeless Army veteran on the streets of Kansas City, smiling and saluting at passing traffic. I had the opportunity to meet James and his wife, Gina, earlier in the week while they panhandled on a street corner near downtown. I've met a lot of homeless folks over the years, and almost all of them just want to be treated with respect and dignity, like we all do. James was no different.
I made the cushions for his bed - he chose the hipp fabric in the pillows.

The James Webb Space Telescope is set to launch in just about one year. It will be 6 times larger than Hubble and able to see infrared light as well as longer wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum.
Ron and James were sitting outside a department store on Michigan Avenue. The connection they had was inspiring. Ron is a vet and has been homeless for many years. James has only recently become homeless. They met up a while ago and Ron really became a father figure for James. He showed him the "ins and outs" of being homeless and steered him clear of trouble. Ron stays away from shelters, because he doesn't like the negativity. So they sleep on the street, away from trouble. "Once you get in a hole", Ron said, "it's hard to get out...but with God's help, I will".
James Ensor - 1860-1949.
Museum Plantin-Moretus (Antwerp, Belgium):
Ensor's States of Imagination.
Ensor's adventure with etching starts in 1886. He is 26 years old then, at the height of his career. During the following years, he is completely taken by the art of etching. He creates over 130 prints. Befriended artists and master-printers teach him the intricacies of the art.
Work of James Ensor.
From left (heads): Bartholomew, James the Younger, Andrew, Judas Iscariot, Peter (Simon), John, Jesus Christ, Thomas, James the Older, Philip, Matthew, Judas Thaddeus, Simon Zealotes.
Note: Judas Iscariot leans back so his head is to the left of Peter. Judas, the only disciple facing away from the viewer, carries a bag of money in his hand, while Peter has a knife rather awkwardly in his hand behind Judas’ back.
Note the knot in the tablecloth on the far right. It is a wordplay on Italian for knot — il vincolo — and Da Vinci’s name. Such knots appear in several of Leonardo’s paintings and he might have thought of it as a signature or trade mark.
Leonardo's Last Supper Museum in the Santa Maria delle Grazie convent in Milan is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage-listed site and one of the top sights to visit in Italy. Book early is the top tip to secure the cheapest tickets, otherwise only more expensive tours are available. Tours may be booked months in advance. The visiting process is strictly timed so arrive on time and be prepared for the 15 minutes around 30 visitors may spend with Il Cenacolo Vinciano in the refectory of the monastery.

The James River Bridge was two lanes and completed in 1928, at that time it was the longest bridge in the world over water. The 5.2 million bridge was opened on November 17, 1928, by the press of a button in Washington D.C., where U.S. President Calvin Coolidge, sitting in the Oval Office of the White House, sent an electric signal to lower into place the upraised lift span over the James River.
The original two-lane bridge was replaced from 1975 to 1982 with a wider four-lane bridge that could handle increased traffic volumes.
