Found photos, a lost life.
Photos found in a plastic bag at Waterlooplein flea market.
All photos in this set belonged to Willem Agathus Huygens, a Dutch artist who was born on June 24th 1914 in Poerwokerto, the Dutch Indies.
A life in a plastic bag.
If anyone knows more about this gentleman, his family or what is shown on the pictures, please let me know.
Note: I chose this photo, among the five that I uploaded to Flickr on the morning of Mar 30,2012, as my "photo of the day." I could not take my eyes off the giant sneakers the young woman was wearing. Unfortunately, the photo doesn't really show the rather bizarre tights that she was also wearing...
Note: this photo was published in an Mar 29, 2012 issue of Everyblock NYC zipcodes blog titled "10024."
**************************
This is the continuation of a photo-project that I began in the summer of 2008 (which you can see in this Flickr set), and continued throughout 2009, 2010, and 2011 (as shown in this Flickr set, this Flickr set, and this Flickr set): a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan -- between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue. These are the people in my neighborhood, aka "peeps in the 'hood."
As I indicated when I first started this project nearly four years ago, I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a zoom telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me. Sometimes I find an empty bench on a busy street corner, and just sit quietly for an hour, watching people hustling past on the other side of the street; they're almost always so busy listening to their iPod, or talking on their cellphone, or daydreaming about something, that they never look up and see me aiming my camera in their direction.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting -- literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep my camera switched on, and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture ... after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject. Indeed, some of my most interesting photos have been so-called "hip shots," where I don't even bother to raise the camera up to my eye; I just keep the zoom lens set to the maximum wide-angle aperture, point in the general direction of the subject, and take several shots. As long as I can keep the shutter speed fairly high (which sometimes requires a fairly high ISO setting), I can usually get some fairly crisp shots -- even if the subject is walking in one direction, and I'm walking in the other direction, while I'm snapping the photos.
With only a few exceptions, I've generally avoided photographing bums, drunks, crazies, and homeless people. There are plenty of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. There have been a few opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. This is one example, and here is another example.
The other thing I've noticed, while carrying on this project for the past four years, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed ... unfortunately, there was just nothing memorable about them. They're all part of this big, crowded city; but for better or worse, there are an awful lot that you won't see in these Flickr sets of mine...

It's common practice to pay a vender's fee here at the night market.Certain areas are controlled by different groups of people and that's who collects the fees.
The chain of command is very obvious in this shot. He spoke very little english but enough ting-glish to get by, plus I know what he wants .All white men in Thailand have ATM written across their forehead.
During our brief conversation one of my brother-in-laws barked out a command from 2 meters behind me and Mr Gray T-shirt politely nodded and disappeared back into the crowd along with his boss.
Brother-in-law has been in the Navy for over 30 years and holds a rank that commands a lot of respect ..;-)
So there ya go a short piece of life in the back street markets deep in downtown Bangkok.

This is just me, not the way I am choosing to show myself... like fake bloggers out there who write fiction. This is just who I am, I'm not sucking up to anyone.
When making notes for genealogy I enjoy my vast collection of color ink pens. When I change sources or persons being researched I reach in and grab another color to make the notes.
Here is a picture I shot of my desk. Quite a mess I know. I added notes to describe some of the stuff you see on and around my desk.

April 25: Day 38 of Project 365
I had a folder filled with random notes and ideas that I have accumulated for a couple years. Spent a few hours collecting them into a single notebook.
Hooray! Blue arrived today. After denying myself so many purchases, a pack of three notebooks is really splashing out! Also, husband cracked a laugh over the "Band of Rubber" included. I love the clicky ballpoint pens that come with these, but secretly not a fan of the pencil other than as a desk accessory. Nevermind. I had to amend this because I just sharpened one up, and the lead was much softer than I remembered. Just about perfect in fact, but I still love the Rhodias - their orange and black color scheme look smashing with Field Notes.
i know it's slightly silly and cheesy, but we like to leave little notes for the other to stumble upon.
those little reminders are nice.
ok.... so i am not a slave to every new skin on the market!
HENCE .. i will rehash skins i bought last year ( or whenever ) with these new heads !
some work well and others don't .
so if u don't recognize a so called "latest" skin name ,that is probably because i used a skin that is still available but not a recent release .
(since we try to name our shapes the same name as the skins they are on :)
saves us to come up with these exotic names they all seem to have .
(whatever happened to names like tom ,dick & harry ?)
anyway, on a serious note .... in the end.... turning out new skins every week must be a pain in the "you know what" and tbh .... some of them just start looking "same as" to me .
hence.... i go back in to my horrible, messy(totally over my head ) inventory and drag out stuff that i probably only wore once. and then i try to recycle.
naturally, they are evox skins and were created by consistent and well known brands .
so no "fly by night creators" with the att span of a sparrow who only keep their skins in their store for a month. (& THEN never to be seen again )
i don't have time to muck around with inconsistent creators .
SORRY! exclusive sounds all well and good but doesn't work for me .
any good shaper can make a skin look any which way they want to .so i don't get the exclusive "sell soo many skins then they gone" thing
