These beautiful old books were on display at Westland London, a specialist restorers of period fireplaces and architectural elements. Their warehouse is like a museum.
Found this old person at the company guesthouse. He couldn't see properly; had some issue with his eyes. I asked if he had any children. He said he never got married and that his brother looks after him. He used to be a porter at the railway but now due to old age he is unable to continue that work. Misery is apparent from his expression.

Came upon this old place out on Hwy. 1 and just had to take a pic of it. I'll bet this was a bustling home in its day.
Old Vic Theatre, Waterloo, London. Today 11th May 2018 is the 200th anniversary of the first production at the Royal Coburg Theatre (as the Old Vic was originally known). Since 1818 it has seen many owners and changes to the fabric of the grade 2* listed building, but currently continues to present a popular and challenging programme. So Happy Birthday Old Vic!

Another shot from my trip to Colorado's west slope. This is the old mill at Crystal City. Once an old mining community back in the late 19th century, the small collection of buildings is owned by a couple that rent the cabins out to anyone adventurous enough to dare the six mile, extremely rough jeep trail to get back to Crystal City. My family and I went back there in June of 1999 in a suburban and it took an hour to do the six mile drive. My brothers and I drove it in a Ford F150 this time and were able to make it in 45 minutes. The light was not real great as the setting sun was lighting the background but the foreground was well in the shade of the mountainside. I'd like to go back at dawn sometime when the lighting is even… I prefer not to shoot hdr unless I have to, and in this case I didn't have a choice. I was fairly pleased with the results though. Next time I'll plan to have more time there, and I'll do some morning shooting there as well.

Jess just got a new (old, really) canon rangefinder, found for ridiculously cheap at the local flea market, so she came out walking with me yesterday.
A shot of a friend who specializes in wet plate photos. I tried to digitally create the look of an old tintype.
4 cubic yards. Only one left like this that I know of. Most have had those weird "stilts" removed, had the chainlink replaced with sheet metal, and have plastic lids now. This one hasn't ever been repainted!
I see this old car on 16th every day on my way to work, so one day I simply had to stop and take a photo of it.

Steampunk weekend at the 2013 Old West Festival in Williamsburg, Ohio. Of all the characters I saw that day, this guy looks more like the real deal than any other right down to the bullet hole in his hat. I don't know if he was a sheriff, deputy or what, but the badges make me certain he was some type of law enforcement agent. There was no steampunk influence so, I have to say he was a regular.
The story of a woman. She was born in Romania in year 1930. At 18 years old, in 1948, she married. In Romania the communist regime was already established. One by one she lost her religion, land and the values system in which she believed. Five children were born. From time to time the husband is taken from the family. This is how it was then. She endures and keeps going. Better times arrive, but it is still very hard. She struggles with her husband to raise and educate their five children. Back then education and training ensured you a chance in life. Time passes and year 1989 arrives. In Romania the political regime changes. The battle starts again to retake her lost land. She wins it. She understands fast that it is harder and harder to work it. Sometimes she probably asks herself if it was worth it. In short, this was the story of this woman. The story of my mother.
According to Wikipedia: "Old Gorhambury House located near St Albans, Hertfordshire, England is an Elizabethan mansion, built in 1563-8 by Sir Nicholas Bacon, Lord Keeper, and twice visited by Queen Elizabeth.
The house was built partly from bricks taken from the old Abbey buildings at St Albans, then in process of demolition following the Benedictine priory's dissolution some 25 years earlier. It was used as a residence by his youngest son, the polymath (scientist, philosopher, statesman and essayist) Sir Francis Bacon, before being bequeathed by him to his former secretary, Sir Thomas Meautys, who married Anne Bacon, the great-granddaughter of the Lord Keeper.
The estate passed in 1652 to Anne's second husband Sir Harbottle Grimston, Master of the Rolls and Speaker in the Convention Parliament of 1660. The estate is owned by the Grimston family to the present day, having been passed via Harbottle Grimston's son Samuel, who died childless in 1700, to his great-nephew William Luckyn, who in turn became the first Viscount Grimston in 1719.
Towards the end of the 18th century, in 1777-84, a new building was built nearby (the current Palladian-style Gorhambury House, designed by Sir Robert Taylor and commissioned by James Bucknall Grimston, 3rd Viscount Grimston). Old Gorhambury House itself was left to fall into ruin. The surviving remains include a two-storey porch, chapel and clock tower."
