Yesterday I learned that my sideburns are Mutton-Chops. Now I feel like I'm walking around with two pieces of meat slapped to the side of my face...
I like sideburns, I think they're cool and I love to experiment with them and have different styles. Turns out there's a name for all sorts of shapes and sizes, funny how I never noticed there was.
I'm a bit busy the last couple of days. At least it feels like it, even though I'm not doing that much. I just don't feel like spending to much time on Flickr right now, so be patient I'll be back soon to reply and comment on you all.

Today, Im writing christmas cards. I"m not a big Christmas guy, but took this awesome photo with some talented ladies and decided to make a card for the first time ever. Clack clack
You can see the previous version in the comments (below)...
And today I shave it all off.
I'll let the van dyke (moustache and goatee) grow back and all will be right with the world again...
The three old chaps on the right hand side of the road appear to be seafaring officers and all appear to have standard-issue white beards or muttonchops. The hooded figure on the left seems a bit more mysterious.
These are from the third batch of 'Liverpool - Then and Now' photo collages that I put together during a hectic but interesting couple of week's project in December 2012.
I've treated the project as a 'treasure hunt' trying to work out the exact location that the original shot was taken, and this section of the set were taken at various times between 1890 and 1980, mainly around the suburbs in the south end of the city, but there are also some taken in town and a few in the north end.
Sometimes the exact angle is no longer possible, due to new buildings in the way etc but I have got myself as close as I could and learned a bit more than I did about the buildings and lives of people that were around Liverpool before I was.
For the 'Now' shots, I tried to put the onus on duplicating the original rather than necessarily getting the 'best' shot I could, so if the original was wonky, I wonked up the modern one. I also tried, where possible, to catch any modern equivalent details, so if a
tram or car or pedestrian was in the original, I tried to get a bus or car or pedestrian in the same spot - that was by no means always possible, though.
A note on copyright issues - the last thing I would want to do is use someone else's work without their permission. Most of the 'Then' pictures I either bought in a secondhand bookshop or found on the internet. I believe most of these pictures are either postcards, engineers or sanitation department records pictures and just the very occasional individual person's photograph. I believe very old postcards and the like are generally 'in the public domain' so haven't done much checking on ownership of them. On the shots where I have been able to work out a previous Flickr appearance, I have emailed the persons I believe to be the owners and asked for their permission to use them.
Where they have given permission I have credited them accordingly.
If anyone sees others that they hold the copyright for, please do contact me - I would be more than happy to credit you as such and add any information you would like, or I would remove them altogether if preferred. Saying that, I hope as many people as possible enjoy what I've put together, and I would be interested if anyone has any questions, comments or corrections!
I've thoroughly enjoyed the project so far, so if I have the time, the weather stays reasonable and I find some suitable 'Then' shots, possibly more north end of Liverpool suburb-based, pubs and docks, I may well soon add some more.
Thank you for looking!

Many of the movie posters I saw in Tokyo had this hyper-dramatic, bisymmetrical layout. They looked quite ridiculous to me, and I would have ignored it as just another unknowable Asian movie advertisement if I hadn't eventually recognized Matt Damon behind all that pancake and eyeliner. I'm not kidding--I walked by this poster several times before I realized just who it was making bedroom eyes in my direction from under that teasingly tousled do.
Given the whole presentation--the heavy makeup, the Sigfried and Roy hair and muttonchops, the phallic tower in the middle, the bedroom eyes--a more gay movie poster I could hardly imagine (not that there's anything wrong with that; remember, I live in San Francisco after all). It's fascinating to imagine how this poster would go over in America. Clue: not very well, unless it were for a Broadway adaptation playing in Las Vegas, and the production included lots of tigers, magic, and sequins.
By the way, the movie that's being adverstised is The Brothers Grimm. Especially odd to give it this presentation since I thought it was a tongue-in-cheek romp.

Hey... it was a weekend and we were hanging at my Grandpa's place. And look at that -- it's not even my camera. I also have no idea who shot this photo (might have been my Dad).
All hail my 8-layer bitchin' bean dip!!

Thanks to Puckles for the grammar help.
Last week, I shaved my beard into these mutton chops. I'm pretty sure this picture would fit quite well in history books, but I think I'll keep it for my personal archives. Next up is taking off the chops to see what my jaw looks like after four long months without seeing it.
I've seen this guy do Wolverine each year I've gone to the Con. Out of all the Wolverines I've seen, he is the most authentic.

This is what you can expect to see if you take my camera and shoot some frames without written permission. No touchy!
Bristol LH / ECW GPD 304N was new to London Country as their BN36. Following sale by London Country it passed through a number of independent operators before arriving with Classic Coaches of High Wycombe in whose ownership it is seen here at Amersham Running Day in October 1997.
His torso comes with very detailed and multi-colored front and back printing. The front features a hunter’s/archer’s forest outfit with printed details like a silver wolf broach (harkening back to the LEGO Wolfpack logo from the 1990s), shoulder strap (presumably for the quiver), and sash around his waist. The back pulls his outfit together with thick leather laces and with his sashes wrapped around from the front.
The Rogue’s legs also come with great printing on the front, namely a leather belt, leather pouch on his right leg, and his boots. The legs remain dual-colored on the back. His arms and hands continue the trend of great detailing. His right hand is brown to indicate that it is gloved to shoot arrows, while his left arm is dual-colored to suggest a brown leather sleeve over his primarily green outfit.
The minifigure’s head comes with a self-assured face, including a small brown beard and muttonchops. Like any good rogue, he comes with a green mask that is similar to LEGO’s ninja masks, but the shape varies a bit. Finally, the Rogue is equipped with a standard longbow-and-arrow piece along with a quiver that attaches to his neck.

There was a certain People In Costume demographic, but they weren't a forceful presence. Here we see fine field specimens of a Green Arrow and a Black Canary. Bonus points for the real facial hair.
(My muttonchops present a bit of a problem at these venues. A few years ago, I approached a table to greet a writer whose work I greatly admired. He opened by complimenting my "Wolverine sideburns." Frankly, it became an awkward moment.)
A note about photography. I obviously enjoy taking pictures at these things but ironically, the people at the show who are most photographable and most willing to have their picture taken are usually the hardest to photograph.
I seek the classic Henri Cartier-Bresson "Decisive Moment" in my photojournalism. Which is tough enough when your subject is Spider-Man, but it's made tougher still when he appears to be using his superhuman powers to sense any camera nearby and strike an immediate "cover pose." Thus destroying the natural and far more interesting candid moment you had been hoping to capture.
Problem Two? Many of the people in costume are, in fact, women in skimpy costumes. I want to get some natural, candid photos of (say) Elektra examining a "Batman" mask for sale, but I don't want to be mistaken for someone who's just trying to sneak a shot of her never-you-mind, or dare I say her whatsits.
Three smaller cabinet cards. The muttonchopped gent on the left was photographed at the J. H. Dodge studio in Boston, the second set of muttonchops was photographed by C. C. Hayes of New Haven, Connecticut and the clean shaven guy on the right did not have any printing on the back of his card.

Thinking about shaving off the mutton chop sideburns. It may be insanely vain to even ask, but hey, the more input the better.
So what do y'all think? Should they stay, or should they go?
UPDATE: they're gone for now.
