LOC Title: Arlington, Virginia. Georgetown aqueduct from Virginia side of Potomac with Georgetown University in background
Date: 1861
Photographer: George N. Barnard (1819 - 1902)
Notes: Notwithstanding the LOC title, there's not much of Arlington visible in this photograph. This view of Union Soldiers on Mason's Island (now Theodore Roosevelt Island), looks across the Potomac river to the city of Georgetown, which was the southern terminus of the C&O Canal.
The merchants of Alexandria, Va., wanted to share in the business opened up by the C&O Canal, and so they built their own canal to reach it. The Alexandria Canal coursed for seven miles along the Virginia shore, crossing the Potomac on the bridge you see here, and connecting to the C&O Canal on the opposite shore. The Aqueduct Bridge was basically a water-filled wooden trough, with a narrow towpath, for canal boats to cross the Potomac, while floating within the trough, 30 feet above the river. According to Wikipedia, both the bridge and the Alexandria canal were completed in 1843.
At left, on the hilltop, can be seen all the major buildings of Georgetown University, including the Georgetown University Astronomical Observatory, built in 1844. If you zoom-in above the 2nd bridge abutment (from the left) the observatory is clearly visible with its domed roof. This is one of the earliest known photos of the Georgetown University campus.
With the coming of the Civil War, Union forces occupied the Virginia shore, Arlington Heights, and took over the bridge, emptying it of water and converting it from an aqueduct to a roadway for horses and wagons to haul men and supplies across the river. This took place in 1861, around the time this photo was taken.
Union forces also occupied the Georgetown heights and were quartered in some of the Georgetown University buildings seen here; a brief extract from the University Library website:
".....69th Regiment of the New York State Militia, known as the “Irish Regiment,”..... which numbered fourteen hundred men, arrived on campus on May 4, 1861. The College was given less than 24 hours’ notice of their arrival and the 60 or so students who still remained (the others having been withdrawn by their anxious parents) had to quickly move out of the buildings on the south side of the Quadrangle. These buildings were turned over to the Regiment, and College operations moved into Old North."

Direct scan, tidied up, of a vintage school letter jacket "music note," belonging to a Band Student. No clue as to the school, but it came with three other blue-and-white patches (a big white "W" and two lacrosse patches) that were tagged $1.00 at Bussey's Flea Market in Schertz, Texas.
North American Pachi Pachi dolls of Tuxedo Mask and Mars along with some other fun items.
Below the Pachi Pachi dolls are some Japanese memo note pad books, one spiral and two with laminated plastic protective covers. The insides have halftone printed images from Sailormoon.
On the right is a set of 5 erasers, one of the best gashapon swings (keychain) ever of Eternal Sailormoon, a Japanese foldup purse mirror, and another gashapon swing of Sailormoon S in Chibi form.

There are a number of challenges I face when shooting ballet pics of Jessie. Mind you, I'm not complaining. I've very very grateful to the teacher (who is also the owner of the studio) for letting me shoot. But I just thought I'd give some insight into how I shoot and what kinda things I run into.
See the notes for explanation. :)

Note how Micki is briefly checking her device and texting in the middle of dinner. This is perfectly acceptable (and even expected) behavior in today's modern highly interconnected multitasking culture. Get used to it. Evolve or die.

Earlier today I found these two bank notes from the old country snuggled in the back of a dusty book. These were in general circulation between 1978 and 1990, and so would have seen me through the end of high school, my two years national service, my three degrees and my initial move to the UK. Fascinating times.
The note is supposed to depict Johan Anthoniszoon "Jan" van Riebeeck, but some National Party bureaucrat screwed up and the portrait on the old bank notes is of Bartholomeus Vermuyden, as painted by Dirck Craey (1650) and currently hanging in the Rijksmuseum. The actual van Riebeeck was far less glamorous as this portrait of him in the Rijksmuseum reveals. Researcher Jonkheer F.G.L.O van Kretschmar has also determined that the popular portrait of van Riebeeck's wife, Maria, was more likely that of Catharina Kettingh, wife of Bartholomeus Vermuyden. The real Maria van Riebeeck (nee de la Queillerie) was as frumpish as her husband - this is the portrait of her in the Rijksmuseum. Worse still, by all accounts the statue in Adderley Street, Cape Town, is not a likeness of Maria either, but of the "wife of the chairman of the Dutch committee that helped to organise the 1952 Van Riebeeck festival in Cape Town." (Giliomee and Mbenga, 2007, "New History of South Africa"). Incredible - you couldn't believe a goddamn thing under the old apartheid regime.
Interesting read here.

In early 1943 Lyttleton Ballard’s wife, living in Staunton Virginia, filled out an income tax form for 1942 and mailed it to Lyttleton in Alaska for his signature. It was not returned and Mrs. Ballard made out another form. More than two years later, in July 1945, an envelope was delivered to the Ballard home, now in Charlottesville Virginia containing a water logged envelope and an explanation of the “delay in delivery.” Inside was the tax form mailed in March 1943 that had been discovered in aircraft wreckage. In the interim years the family address had changed from Staunton VA, to Wickford RI, to Bradford RI to Martha’s Vineyard MA and finally to the home of an uncle in Charlottesville VA. Thomas Ballard, son of Lyttleton, gives the postal service a great deal of credit for tracking the family down and delivering the long lost letter. The post office included a letter of explanation with the long lost letter and tax form.

This is a little less intimidating than passing from West to East Berlin used to be when I was there in the 1980s – note the tram tracks in this view. The street scene is not very much changed, although there are now no formalities at the frontier.
Note: the left pedipalp is missing in this specimen. I fed him a large fly and took him home, but he soon died. Poor fella.
