Leyland Mastiff 6x6 on trial with the Australian army in the seventies,Mack in the end got the contract.
Bella. I asked if I could pet her and she came over obligingly. I didn't ask her breed but presumably she's a Mastiff, right? Busy place in the park: humans of all ages, dogs on leashes, birds on the loose but interested in Duck Feed pellets underfoot.
Never trust towing eyes when the mountings and the welds are suspect as the Reiver made a break for freedom on the hilly route back but thankfully i had some shackles and joined the straight bar to the n/s front hanger! -a very memorable recovery for both of us!
Seen at the Motormans cafe in 2016 you can see how close Gary has got with the hand built structure he has created on the back of a basic model.
Left-hand drive Leyland Mastiff rigid four-wheeler with Hiab operating in Tregueux in Northern France in the mid-70s. I doubt if many Mastiffs were sold in Europe and should imagine that this example was supplied by British Leyland's branch in Belgium.
Re-shoot of Precious the 11 week old Bull Mastiff/American Bulldog puppy.
Whenever I screen/edit a days photo shoot the first thing I see is what I could do differently to improve on the results. You don’t get a second chance with subjects like scenics, action shots or many other once in a lifetime opportunities. I was able to spend another morning with precious and try some different settings and techniques and got some amazing expressions this time :) Unfortunately I see once again where I was way off on exposure settings :( I was able to salvage most of the shots but they’re still way over-exposed in areas. Looks like another day with Precious soon. Maybe by the time she’s full grown I’ll get it right :)
Down at this years Gaydon classic commercial show and looking at the model displays i was blown away by Flickr member Gary Knights scratch built replicar of my Bmc recovery and i would say perfect in every detail and even better than i ever expected after i saw it on his Flickr site ( Garyk 77) earlier this year but to top it all he gave it to me!!!
But i only wish now i had had my picture taken with him in front of his display with the Mastiff of course so the next best thing was to get a picture of it with the real thing but the pictures did not work out...so i had to place it on the back instead.
Tomb models such as this alert watchdog reflect an increasingly humanistic and mundane view of the afterlife. Its compact, hollow earthenware body has been molded in two halves, joined lengthwise along the head, chest, back, and rump. The lead glaze, colored green by the addition of copper oxide, has decomposed into thin layers that reflect light with silvery iridescence.
Eastern Han Dynasty (25–220 CE), China, 2nd century CE. Brick-red earthenware with green lead glaze.

Fate 20 Nov 1939 was engaged in the recovery of a mine, which had broken loose from a field laid on the night of 18 Nov by German DDs Wilhelm Heidkamp, Hermann Künne and Bernd von Arnim. In the process of hauling it aboard, the mine detonated, destroying the trawler. The mine they were attempting to retrieve was one of the new magnetic mines which threatened to close the Thames to shipping

Gary told me many people recognised it as my Mastiff when it was on display on his stand before i came along.
The real Mastiff at the moment is at the back of the shed and hasn't been out for a while...that is until i wake the beast up!

Neapolitan Mastiffs are among the biggest dog breeds in the world and are easily identified by their facial wrinkles and skin folds.
As one of the biggest dog breeds in the world, Neapolitan Mastiffs are affectionate, calm and loving
a neighbours dog, a tibetan mastiff, was being walked by his trainer when he obliged me with this portrait. this dog is massive and i mean really humongous, if there is such a word!!! if he stands he will be taller than me and i'm 178cms tall. according to the trainer, they keep his coat short to adapt to the tropical weather conditions. i could only imagine the amount of food he consumes and the crap he produces. furthermore, the trainer also mentioned that puppies of this breed sell for around USD2,000 each. this is a very high maintenance dog. anyone who look after this dog must really be a dog lover because it really needs a lot of care and attention compared to smaller, more manageable breeds!
Just lately ive gone for my Butties on a Sat morning in something different every week lately and gives my trucks a run out -and the locals like them too including the lads from Readymix.
The Dogue de Bordeaux, Bordeaux Mastiff, or French Mastiff is a large and of the most ancient French dog breeds. The French Mastiff has a very muscular body. This brawny breed has been put to work in many different capacities, from pulling carts and hauling heavy objects, to guarding flocks and, historically, the castles of the European elite.
This 1978 Leyland Mastiff was caught rusting away at a breakers yard in West Sussex. It has been there a very long time. Originally owned by E. Powell and Son of Eastbourne, builders merchants. It appears to be complete but is probably past redemption.
"Cosmonautical Appurtenance: Sophia Mastiff (Shitheeling The Demiurge No.3)"
Cyanotype, created like all in the series -- by degree, or accretion, and blooming autotelical -- dedicated to the memory of my real first love whose unflagging portliness of spirit ever rises but is yet all-succumbing like a burst packet of memory tainting the sunrise or a sweet pot of bell-rung honey.
What's really interesting about this piece is that the areas which are exposed, hesitantly almost, but really more congealingly cloyed ---the areas exposed but appear to be only half-so, the fatigable loft-purple haze dipping most prominently from upper left and corpsulating in the sameward bottom area --- is entirely the result of fixing the paper not with gelatin, as is my wont, but rather with semen.
One assumes the darker pigmentation indicates the presence of virile sperms, at least so far as sperms can be measured photomorphically.
