Here is a photo of a 1952 Chevrolet flatbed truck that I bought back in 1975 for about $350.
This truck had one of Chevys 105 HP 235 cubic inch “Big Six” engines with a 4-Speed synchro-mesh transmission, and I remember it being a really noisy ride at highway speeds.
It was equipped with a hydraulic rear lift gate activated by pulling out a PTO knob in the cab and then using a few levers by the rear of the truck to operate the up, down, and folding movement of the gate.
I only owned it about six months before I sold it to a friend who had a body shop business in Pewaukee, Wisconsin where I would occasionally help out part-time.
This photo from the winter of 1976 was the truck parked behind the spray booth of the shop after I had sold it and was taken with one of those little instamatic cameras with Kodak 110 color transparency film. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©

Some months ago I started to work part time, and take a preparatory course (this course is to take the test that was supposed to be the begining of this year, but it will supposely happen only next year). This course finally reached its end on April. I took a couple of weeks off and am now, working in the morning, taking my preparatory courses in the afternoon, I run three days per week in a park after classes, get home, eat, watch the news, and read whatever I have in hands (related to the test I want to take) 'till I find it's time to sleep, usually 22:30.
I am now making a lot less money than I used to, but am also studying a lot more in a less stressing way.
I was planning to go to USA on June/July this year, but that won't happen because I didn't get enough money (and there was the car problem, and some other unplanned expenses), nor time to go to São Paulo to request a Visa.
I was invited to go to Spain on Novermber, and I really would like to go, but that will happen only if I boost print sales sky high.
I would also like to go to USA on March or April next year (If the test I want to take really takes place on February as everyone expects), but according to my finances, that seems even harder to happen.
The problem with the test is that the last time it took place was in 2005!!! It should had taken place in 2007, 08 and 09! And nobody is sure if it will take place next year.
I'm just saying it all because I kind of said some of it to some people, who told other people whom I hadn't told anything and they got pissed because I hadn't said anything to them, and then there were other people worried about the amount of time I'm still "wasting" with photos and this and that... So, just making things clear, I take a camera where ever I go, so most photos "just happen" and don't take much of my time. The editing takes just as little of my time, lately, no more than 15 minutes. I upload photos usually during lunch time, while my brain is in "roaming mode".
That's it... and I'm kind of up set.

Toronto is lagging behind other cities when it comes to the return of workers downtown. Will things ever get back to normal?
Chris Fox, CP24.com Managing Digital Producer
A new study suggests that downtown Toronto’s economic recovery is lagging behind other urban centres and one of its authors says that it has now become clear that “we are not going back to normal.”
The study, called “Death of Downtown?” used data from cell phone towers to track the return of people to the core in 62 urban centres.
It found that the level of cell activity measured in downtown Toronto between March and May of this year was only at about 46 per cent of the pre-pandemic norm.
Karen Chapple, who is the director of the School of Cities at the University of Toronto and one of the co-authors of the study, told CP24.com this week that Toronto’s recovery has been slower, in part due to lockdowns that were deeper and longer-lasting than in many other cities.
But she said that there are also “structural” issues with Toronto’s economy that make the full return of office workers to the core going forward less likely, mainly the prevalence of technology and financial services jobs that lend themselves to remote or hybrid work.
“This is a collective action problem and Toronto seems to have been very passive, waiting for individual actors to make it all better and it's not (going to get better),” she said. “It's going to take a real concerted effort of the public and private sectors together to figure out what are the spaces that are likely to continue to be dead in the future? What are those specific blocks? How can we liven up those blocks? How can we get new tenants there? How can we make both the private space work, the commercial space work but also the public space work? That's a problem we have together, so it is something that we should be solving together.”
The data suggest that cell phone pings in downtown Toronto dropped to as low as 28 per cent of the pre-pandemic norm, both at the outset of the pandemic in 2020 and during a devastating third wave in the spring of 2021.
In recent weeks there has been a sustained rise in activity downtown, but the data is beginning to show signs of a levelling off and Chapple said that she doesn’t foresee a scenario where the vast majority of office workers return downtown five days a week.
Not this fall, not ever.
“We're not going back to normal,” she warned. “The question people are debating right now is will it be going to 40 per cent or 60 per cent? Will people be going back for two days a week or three days a week? That hasn’t really been settled. But if you're going to have, you know, half of the downtown economy on a hybrid work schedule, then you really have to think about how you're going to reuse that space.”
Meanwhile, the latest data from the Strategic Regional Research Alliance suggests that overall occupancy in downtown Toronto workplaces is still only at 27 per cent of pre-pandemic levels, virtually unchanged from last month.
The slow pace of the recovery isn’t a surprise to Marcy Burchfield, who has been tracking it as part of her work with the Toronto Region Board of Trade’s Economic Blueprint Institute.
The city has taken an active role in encouraging the return of workers downtown and was among the first major employers to require its employees to return to the office, at least part time.
Canadian cities have lagged behind when compared to the U.S
The return of workers to downtown Toronto has been particularly slow when compared to several large American cities, including New York, where cell phone pings are now at about 76 per cent of their pre-pandemic norm.
Toronto’s experience, however, is not entirely unique among Canadian cities, with both Vancouver (55th) and Montreal (57th) among the cities the study identified as having a slower recovery.
Chapple said that she speaks to a lot of stakeholders and business organizations and gets the impression that they are “waiting for the employers to crack down on folks.”
But she said that may be the wrong attitude amid what appears to be a significant shift around the very nature of work in many industries.
“Cities like San Francisco and Toronto are just going to have to rethink what their downtown should look like and refocus on arts and entertainment, even non-profits and health sector and education sector. These are the future of downtowns once you have professional services kind of clearing out,” she said.

Head Harbour Lightstation - 210 Lighthouse Road, Wilson's Beach, Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada
More of an image of the island, than the light, but it does make itself known nonetheless.
Note:
I made a half dozen different crops of this composite capture, but when they were all up on the screen at the same time, this one distinguished itself from the rest.
Cropping images is an art in itself that (sadly) many photographers don't give enough consideration to how what's included, what's left out, and how the shape of the image affects the composition. And how the only way to really see how that plays out is to do it and see what happens.
It's been quite a while since I've managed any meaningful photos but I got lucky this morning. My part time job is slow and I've had two sunny days off in a row where I really had no plan other than to get up when I felt like it and see what's going on. Yesterday I didn't get out the door until 0800, but today I was out at 0415. I headed down to the station to watch the sunrise with a coffee in hand and to check various sources for intel. One eastbound went by and then this beauty showed up with me having no idea what was on it. It pretty much meant a chase and although the crew was not having a really good day, I was ! An hour or so waiting on a meet at Wolverton allowed this shot of 135 working upgrade approaching Drumbo, Ontario at about mile 73 of the Galt Subdivision. These heritage units are pretty sweet.

Staithes. North York Moors National Park. Yorkshire.
Staithes has a sheltered harbour, bounded by high cliffs and two long breakwaters.
Staithes is a seaside village in the Scarborough Borough of North Yorkshire, England. Easington and Roxby Becks, two brooks that run into Staithes Beck, form the border between the Borough of Scarborough and Redcar and Cleveland. Formerly one of the many fishing centres in England, Staithes is now largely a tourist destination within the North York Moors National Park.
At the turn of the 20th century, there were 80 full-time fishing boats putting out from Staithes. A hundred years later there are still a few part-time fisher men. There is a long tradition of using the coble (a traditional fishing vessel) in Staithes.
It was reported in 1997 that the Royal Mail were encouraging the occupants of Staithes to number their houses instead of relying on names. Whilst the regular postperson had no difficulty with the narrow streets and cottages, the relief postal staff were getting confused. Royal Mail also claimed it would aid efficiency by their postal machines which automatically read the addresses.
Cruden Bay, Aberdeenshire
Cruden Bay is a small village in Scotland, on the north coast of the Bay of Cruden in Aberdeenshire, 26 miles north of Aberdeen.
Just west of Slains Castle, Cruden Bay is said to have been the site of a battle in which the Scots under King Malcolm II defeated the Danes in 1012. Traditionally, the name was derived from the Gaelic Croch Dain (Slaughter of Danes).
Today, Cruden Bay attracts tourists with its hotels and golf course. It has a long, unspoiled, beach made famous by Norwegian aviator Tryggve Gran who made the first solo flight across the North Sea.
Dr Samuel Johnson and James Boswell were guests at Slains Castle in 1773. Johnson said that "no man can see with indifference" the sea chasm known as the Bullers of Buchan, which is near the village.
Dun Bay, or Yellow Rock is also near the Bullers of Buchan, and is associated with Walter Scott's The Antiquary.
Bram Stoker was a regular visitor between 1893 and 1910. Because he was a part-time writer, his Cruden Bay holidays provided him with the largest amount of spare time to write his books. He stayed at the Kilmarnock Arms Hotel in 1893 and 1894, and thereafter in cottages in Cruden Bay and Whinnyfold. The early chapters of Dracula were written in Cruden Bay, and possibly most of the rest of it was too. He also set two novels in and around the village, The Watter's Mou' (1895) and The Mystery of the Sea (1902).
James Macpherson's poem The Highlander (1758) takes the battle of Cruden as its model. [Wikipedia]
Port Erroll Harbour, Cruden Bay, Aberdeenshire
Port Erroll developed as a fishing community to some extent but the tidal nature of the harbour restricted the size of craft which could operate from it and the village missed out on the herring boom. Tourism provided another source of income for the village. Even before the coming of the railway, the long pink curve of the Bay of Cruden sands and scenic cliffscapes to the north were attracting visitors and a small seaside resort was grafting itself onto the fishing community.
I'm Back and more photogenic then ever!
well I'm back anyway.
I heard the call of a fine cigar somewhere in Flickrspace and I answer the call.
Been doing a lot of soul searching these past few weeks. didn't find many souls but I found some sweet vintage Minolta Glass. since then I have been thinking about my life behind the lens and what I left behind here. then I checked my stream and I was deeply touched by what all of you had to say, I didnt realize I had that much impact.
so with this cigar I return to Flickrhood if only in a part time Fashion, no 365 for me, sorry to say that journey is done but this place is still the best place to smoke on Friday night.
its good to be back folks.
Dear Dad:
Do you remember shopping with me for my first car? I do!
We looked around until I found that very cool Mercury Monterey. It had a gold body with a black top.
The neatest feature was that it had that angeled window in the back which I could automatically draw down. It burned way too much fuel, but it was a safe first car to drive. I thought of that car when I watched some sit-com where the dad bought his daughter a first car that was really a boat on wheels and then put relfective tape all the way around the outside for detailing! What a funny show that was for me, as my first car was also a boat.
You told me that you would take out a litle loan under your name and I could the payments with my little part time job. I was the first one among my friends to have a car and I was the most responsible one too.
You told me that if I did not make payments, that meant I'd defaulted on our agreement and you would sell my car. I never missed a payment.
You also told me that as long as I had car payment, you would pay my auto insurance. Once the car was mine, then I wold take over the insurance.
No insurance, no driving my car. Those were the rules, you said.
Buying that car and learning these lessons were some of the most important things you could have taught me about life.
Thanks Dad!
Happy Father's Day Week.
I love you,

Shadows fall on a small pisé building overlooking Kanimbla Valley, probably one of the oldest surviving (just) buildings in the valley, where the first land grants date from the 1820s. The weathering has revealed the layers of rammed earth under the mud plaster.

Some recent research (2021) leads me to believe it may at one time have been an early part-time schoolhouse, possible Genbenang.
Two young enthusiastic cycle rikshaw drivers who took us to Effiel Tower. The ride was fun and they were enjoying their work and talking to us. Both of them were part time college students who work to earn their fees. In my eyes they are noble human beings and need a salute from us.
Spools of thread, cards with trim or bias tape and bits of lace totally remind me of my childhood. My mother always sewed all my clothes and I didn't wear a 'store bought' dress until I was old enough to have a part-time job and buy my own.
Mum was an excellent seamstress and could make the most complicated patterns. When I was in high school and all the other girls were beginning to dress like hippies I was the one kitted out in tweed suits sewn from Vogue patterns that made me look like Angela Lansbury from Murder She Wrote. I even had jackets with bound buttonholes. I betcha there is hardly anyone reading this who is familiar with a bound buttonhole but take it from me it's very complicated sewing.
Do you think I was happy wearing these designer clothes? Not even a bit....it was horrifying...it was humiliating.....it was persecution. :-D I wanted to be like all the other girls and wear cheap stuff off the rack. This caused no end of consternation in our household resulting in tears, harsh words, foot stomping and pouting but I still had to wear those remarkably well made clothes.
One of my greatest liberating triumphs came when my mother made my coat for school. It was a dressy knee length coat with a lovely weave in powder blue. It was an old lady coat. There wasn't a day that went by that this ungrateful daughter didn't complain about her embarrassing coat so finally my mother said she would dye it navy blue if it would make me happier about it. It seemed a compromise I could live with.
So Mum set about dying the coat and when she was done it had shrunk to the size of something only a five year old could wear.
I was overjoyed.
She was dismayed.
It was vindication.

Hartnett Falls on the Mersey River.
Named for pioneering trapper, bushman, miner, postmaster, store keeper, raconteur, tour-guide and part-time degenerate... Paddy Hartnett (1876-1944).
Alongside Gustav Weindorfer and others, Paddy was among those first white folk that opened up the land that eventually became the Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park. Sections of today's renowned Overland Track are formed over Paddy's trapping circuit and modern huts are sited close to his basic, original shelters.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The hospital derived its name from Joseph Brant, an early inhabitant of Burlington, member of the nearby Grand River tribe of the Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk) nation and prominent political figure in the early history of Thayendanegea region. Joseph Brant Hospital stands on part of the land bought for him by Upper Canada's Lieutenant Governor, John Graves Simcoe.
Joseph Brant Hospital opened on February 1, 1961, with 228 beds. In 1971, the Hospital expanded to 450 beds. In 1996 due to a major hospital restructuring occurring in Ontario, the Hospital contracted to 273 beds and in 2006 reduced to 256 beds. The hospital now has 245 inpatient beds.
From 2012-2013, the hospital had 13,258 admissions, the Emergency Department had 47,326 visits in 2012-13 and 1,459 births were recorded. The hospital has a skilled staff of 175 physicians, 1,400 full and part-time professional health care staff and more than 600 active volunteers.
Throughout its history, Jo Brant has never wavered from its mission to be the finest possible full-service, acute care community Hospital. On either an inpatient or outpatient basis (or both), Jo Brant offer six distinct categories of patient care: medical services, surgical services, maternal and child care services, emergency and ambulatory services, rehabilitation and geriatric services and mental health services.
I have to say that the Delhi locals are very creative when it comes to electrical reticulation. Still, wouldn't go amiss if the local council hired a part-time electrician just to tidy things up a bit.
Don't worry I am not really crying honest although I have been rather emotional of late. I am finding that the more Helen grows the more empathy I have for others. I feel their pain and anguish l like never before.
One friend is having trouble in her relationship since her partner found out about her, I so wish I could it make it better for her.
Another friend is struggling with full time life. its hard to find work when you are like us. she is really having trouble making ends meet.
Yet another part time girl I know has just split from a long time girlfriend partly over his being a T Girl and a woman he was interested in ran a mile when he told he dressed.
All this makes me rather emotional nowadays.
Think I need a good night out.

The Hotel Baxter, popularly called the Baxter or Baxter Hotel, is a seven-story hotel built in 1929 in the Main Street historic district of Bozeman, Montana. Designed in Art Deco style by architect Fred F. Willson, it opened for business on March 2, 1929. The grand opening party was held Saturday, March 16, 1929. The hotel is named after George Baxter, a prominent Gallatin County rancher who provided much of the funding. It originally contained 76 rooms, two bars, and restaurant facilities. An ornate lobby on the main floor includes a small water fountain. The mezzanine level features a large ballroom. Its upper floors today contain about 20 condominium-style residences, mostly one and two-bedroom apartments. Ted's Montana Grill and the Bacchus Pub are on the ground floor.
Unique features
Unique features of the Baxter building include a 32-foot high by 45-foot wide electric "Hotel Baxter" sign on the roof. Erected when the building was completed in 1929, it was intended to be seen from the top of mountain passes up to 70 miles away to "serve as a beacon for travelers." The red neon sign was nonfunctional for about 40 years, but was refurbished, repaired, and officially re-lit on January 10, 2013, in a ceremony, where U.S. Senator and part-time Bozeman resident Max Baucus called it "A crown jewel of Bozeman." However, a researcher at Montana State University has raised concerns about light pollution, generating some local controversy. The roof of the building also features a flashing blue light, which is turned on throughout the winter to alert local skiers when new snow is falling at the Bridger Bowl Ski Area. First installed in 1988, it is activated each time Bridger Bowl accumulates two inches of fresh snow, and remains on for 24 hours thereafter. Local skiers depend upon the beacon because the ski area can have a great deal of fresh powder snow, dubbed "cold smoke" by the locals, even when it is not snowing in Bozeman. For this reason, maintenance of the light is a priority for skiers and only once in 20 years was it out of operation for two days.

Here we go! On time this week, and I really kind of like it. This week has been b-u-s-y. My part time job went full time for this week only and I’ve also suddenly got a lot of photography work which is truly brilliant. I really did think that this week’s photo was going to be a bit of a bust but all at once I had a bit of free time and a little idea and *poof* the image was created.
What this photo means to me is cutting the ties of things that have held you back. I feel like I’m starting to really figure out this whole anxiety thing. It’s been years and years of being held back but over the last few weeks I’ve been trying something new and it’s really working. I feel like I’m setting myself free from a vice like grip and getting much more freedom....

It felt so good to be back at work at The Salon, after my long honeymoon - and to catch up with Lady Amanda Barclay, Lady Alice Grainger, Lady Audrey Worthington, and all the other regular girls! It was fabulous fun to put on a short dress and shamelessly display myself on one of our high stools - making our clients uncomfortably horny…!
I will certainly continue to work at The Salon part time, even as I adapt to my new life in Monte Carlo as a European Princess. Working as a very high-class prostitute is an empowering experience. It’s something I recommend all women should experiment with, especially if they are interested in methods to control the male of the species!
Nevertheless, Lady Amanda is now 100% in charge - and I will perform at The Salon as her guest. Lady Amanda, as you all know, is the daughter of my housekeeper (and lover) Mrs Hilda Danvers, and Mandy has undergone an intense training process to become the top-drawer call girl and Madame that she is today - although still only in her twenties! Her mother and I are so proud of her wonderful and rapid progress!
Toodle Pip!

the light is changing so much... light in some of my favorite places returning. the days shortening, the softer light filtering into our windows and doors in a different way. i notice this, among the busy of the day.... working more than part time at the moment.
One of the 4 shots from which the previous panorama was composed.
Steeplehouse Farm with the parkland of Ilam Hall (NT) beyond, with the part-time River Manifold in the valley bottom.
About a minute and a half of south Eastern freeway traffic. About 1 hour after sunset.
Taken from a bridge over the freeway near Mt Barker.
There is also a pedestrian footpath on the bridge.
I have some standard Hi vis clothing, with reflective tape on arms and body, from a part time job I did years ago that came in real handy.
Yep, you simply pick it up and move it. That's exactly what happened yesterday when I was doing a little part time work at an auction site.
Every six weeks I do a little work for a huge auction company when they hold their regular auctions. Effectively I help move all manner of commercial vehicles around the site in readiness for the three day event. To give you an idea of the size of the event next weeks auction will have over six thousand vehicles and over a thousand excavators. All of which need to be displayed and presented to the sales rings in an exact order. Preparing of this event is no mean feat. As you can imagine some fail to start so a crew of mechanics are called in to sort matters, but just once every so often the problem is too much to do in the short time available.
So, if you need a digger, dump truck, oil tanker, road sweeper, HGV, fire engine, old Land Rover etc you know where to go.
This is a portrait of me and Kandi Robbins taken by Cassandra Storm at the 2022 Keystone Conference.
It's a good photo and that in itself would be reason enough to post it here.
However it's being shared to also brag about my friend beautiful Kandi Robbins.
We met a few years ago. At the time she was a part-time MtF cross dresser.
Today, she's nearly full-time Kandi. As Kandi, she's gotten parts in 8 professional films and has also been featured in six published magazine photo shoots including two detailed interviews.
She's walked runways in the New York Fashion week, and has modeled everything from bridal gowns to casual wear.
Her path is not for everyone. Yet I admire her for tenacity, work ethic, compassion, focus, and humor.

I’m a member of the Oakland Raiders House Band. So, during the football season the band is featured at all of the home games! It’s a pleasure to be a member of this ensemble led by trumpeter, composer, arranger, and bandleader, David Perrico.
The owners and staff of the little shops here at the shore are incredibly helpful and gracious to customers like me. Most of them know me as a part-time female but treat me like I am a woman every day of my life. Maybe even better than the cisgender females who surround me. I might pay a bit more for clothes than shopping online or in a big department store, but the experience of being helped by someone who treats me like the girl I want to be is PRICELESS !
