One of the photos from Saturday's session with Jo.

There are those times when one has to withdraw from the party and for a moment think about the past. About people long gone, and about those who will come by.

I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque

I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades

I like it in the city when two worlds collide

You get the people and the government

Everybody taking different sides

Round my hometown

Memories are fresh

Round my hometown

Ooh the people I’ve met

Are the wonders of my world

Letter to a Tooth Fairy.

Not just memories but a priceless heirloom from 1988.

The tooth itself is 'on special loan' for this image from the Tooth Fairy Bank.

It's structure made it perfectly suited to become the shute for out-of-hours deposits of Fairy Dust.

Oh, if you could only imagine the magic this tooth has been privy to in the intervening years. Perhaps you've even been touched by some of that magic yourself :).

Some memories don't ask to be remembered. They simply refuse to leave.

Sometimes the hardest part isn't saying goodbye... it's living with the silence that follows.

please don't use this picture without my permission

... don`t need much

The levitation of her didn't quite work out so well, but you get the point. Ariel is just too amazing to copy agggghhhh.

This hand painted china was done by my mother in 1928...77 years ago!

The sign in the door I think may be wrong. I don't think this filling station has been open for at least 15 years. If you look to the right of the building you can see the car lift so that they could change oil. As a young boy (about 55 or so years ago). I use to spend 2 weeks each summer with my grandparents. On Saturday nights when this little town was thriving, the farmers would come to town for their supplies. Also, to the left of the filling station, in the summer, there was free movies that would start about sundown. There were benches so people could sit and watch.

The inequity of fate

The pains of love and hate

The heart-sick memories

That brought you to your knees

And the times when we were young

When life seemed so long

Now you are left alone

Where did it all go wrong

Day after day

You burned it all away

(and it's too late)

All the hate that feeds your needs

All the sickness you conceive

All the horror you create

Will bring you to your knees

Bishopsgarth Fire HQ, Rosehill Crescent. The house acted as the Headquarters of the Suffolk & Ipswich Fire Service up to 1964, the date of the photograph. While the caretaker was on holiday, the Bond Street crew did the cleaning. The new Birkin Haward-designed Headquarters building on the Fire Service site on Colchester Road replaced these offices in December 1964. Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service is the statutory fire and rescue service covering Suffolk in East Anglia, England. It was formed in 1948 as the Suffolk & Ipswich Fire Service, before changing after the 1974 Local Government Review to 'Suffolk Fire Service'. Following the 2004 Fire & Rescue Services Act, the service name was changed to Suffolk Fire & Rescue Service to better reflect its role.

These photographs depict the life of the fire service in the town and neighbouring areas. Retired Ipswich fireman John Harvey bought four of Billy Griss's photo albums – he was a former fire service colleague and good amateur photographer. The photographs are annotated from the albums, supplemented by John’s memories.

♪Estoy harto de esto llamado vida

Sin espacio para respirar

Me muevo y doy vueltas en mi cama toda la noche

Soy el único que no encuentra paz?

Qué estás esperando?

Qué estás esperando?

Escapar a las estrellas

Sentirse tan libre

Solos tu y yo

Escapar a las estrellas

Atrapando un sueño

Todo lo que necesitamos es creer

Escapar a las estrellas

Yo siempre he sido el único que me entiende

lucho contra la corriente

aceptar el sistema o darle la espalda

y encontrar una nueva realidad

¿a qué estas esperando?

¿a qué estas esperando?

Escapar a las estrellas

Sentirse tan libre

Solos tu y yo

Escapar a las estrellas

Atrapando un sueño

Todo lo que necesitamos es creer

Escapar a las estrellas

Superar la gravedad

sujetándote

a la tierra

libres de la demencia

no hay nadie alrededor ♫

For this week artist of inspiration we have Joseph Cornell and I made a digital memory box with some stuff from my childhood: dolls, marbles, comic books, Sesame Street, pink meringues, musical films in the afternoon session on TV, pick up shells on the beach, make-believe tea parties...

Background and box in Joseph Cornell Box; some embellishments by Angie Young; everything else was googled.

Class of 1975 Memories

This is a tag to everyone who may have tag me during my absence to my trip to Haiti due to so much fun (haha) I had no time to upload any pictures on Flickr but now I am back with wonderful shots from my country. I hope you all are doing great and I am ready to stalk your streams filled with beauty.

Here is a full shot of one side of this vintage memory vase. There are a lot of old buttons here and a lot of metal jewelry pieces such as crosses and brooches.

Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.

Summer now seems a distant memory. This was taken at sunset on the summer solstice.

Memory Lane, also known as Piss Alley, is a small, cramped dingy alley filled with small restaurants. Some restaurants are filled with exotic dishes like pig testicles and grilled salamander, and the area is rumored to be popular with Yakuza.

This page is for Donna's 'Shades of Brown' album. The tag inside the envelope reads:

For me, this colour and shades of it, represents treasured memories and keepsakes: aged letters and photographs.

………………………………

I found an article recently which talked about how, under threat from their loss of natural habitat, polar bears are resorting to cannibalism, wandering into human habitats looking for food and — incredibly - there is some evidence that their fur is subtly beginning to change colour (brown) to blend in with their changing surroundings!

………………………………

So - perhaps, one day - a photograph of a white polar bear, will also be regarded as a treasured memory or keepsake — a reminder of something lost.

This is a piece I did for OPUS Magazine. It will be featured in their online edition for an article entitled "Lethe" which discusses Dr.Freud and his studies on memory. Originally I was going to use another illustration that I had been working on but then decided to scrap it after hitting a few road blocks. I jumped to my next idea which was to incorporate Freud using some some sort of hypnotic psychic ability to extract memories from his patients. I'm pretty satisfied with the way this turned out and hopefully a lot of people will get to read the great article it'll be attached to.

Some scraps left behind from the torn down Chicken Shed Bar at Çatalhöyük, along with torn out posts for the laundry line. Today they've been reposted next to the dining room.

I wasn't sure if I would be able to complete this LO by today, but yeah, I did. I am working on a new scrapbook of my childhood memories. This week's challenge was a great starting point for me. The photos are of my sister and me in the 1950's on our trip to Florida. This was fun to put together and recall the memories. (I have to start working on this book before I can't recall the memories, LOL.)

HA stamps: CL232 for the bubble above the donkey and LL746 Swirl Patterns.

Also Rubber Stampede for the Sun, and Basicgrey PP. I tried Tim Holtz crackel paint on the title (tarnshed brass) and inked over with Adirondack lights (juniper) A little difficult to see in this photo.

This LO is for my personal use only. South of the Border Photo is not to be reproduced.

Thanks for looking.

i love this one
