Cypress Grove / Firemen's Cemetery
120 City Park Avenue
New Orleans, Louisiana
circa 1840
Cypress Grove / Firemen's Cemetery was built on the banks of what was Bayou Metairie at the end of Canal Street in 1840. In 1841, the remains of firemen buried elsewhere in the city were moved to Cypress Grove. The entrance pylons and lodges were designed in the Egyptian style by Fredrick Wilkinson for a cost of $8,000. Many Protestant began to be buried here when the Girod Street Cemetery began to deteriorate. The cemetery is lined with Wall Vaults many of which contain the remains of volunteer firemen. There are also several large multi-vault tombs of volunteer fire companies such as Perserverance Fire Co No 13, Philadelphia Fire Engine Co No 14 and the tomb of Eagle Fire Co No 7. Elaborate tombs such as those of the Robert Stark and the WH Letchford families stand in the cemetery alongside the cast iron tomb of former mayor foundaryman, Charles L Leeds. One of the most interesting tombs, is the Soon On Tong Association tomb used as a temporary burial space of Chinese residents. The remains were once brought here for ceremony before being shipped back to China. The tomb of Maunsell White, veteran of the Battle of New Orleans and promoter of the use of hot peppers and pepper sauces (still used today), is buried here.

Famine' (1997) was commissioned by Norma Smurfit and presented to the City of Dublin in 1997. The sculpture is a commemorative work dedicated to those Irish people forced to emigrate during the 19th century Irish Famine. The bronze sculptures were designed and crafted by Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie and are located on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands.
This location is a particularly appropriate and historic as one of the first voyages of the Famine period was on the 'Perserverance' which sailed from Custom House Quay on St. Patrick's Day 1846. Captain William Scott, a native of the Shetland Isles, was a veteran of the Atlantic crossing, gave up his office job in New Brunswick to take the 'Perserverance' out of Dublin. He was 74 years old. The Steerage fare on the ship was £3 and 210 passengers made the historical journey. They landed in New York on the 18th May 1846. All passengers and crew survived the journey.
In June 2007, a second series of famine sculptures by Rowan Gillespie, was unveiled by President Mary McAleese on the quayside in Toronto's Ireland Park to remember the arrival of these refugees in Canada.
The world did not exist at our feet, but above our heads. Our perserverance was in our heart. That heart was a balloon on a string, drifting away from the child's grasp, floating through the air for all around to see. We showed the world what we could achieve. We gave our heart away to the sky, and cried our tears. Our heart traveled the world, would one day land with a message; return to sender.

Brian and Perserverance in the beautiful New South Wales Sunshine.
Visiting the SR & RL Southern Division (Brian and Sue's Railway)
Attempt number 2 at capturing one of the most stunning views in London.
In theory: the perfect choice for a shot. In practise: a bitch. Unless you have to hand a wide-angle lens, full-frame sensor, Hasselblad etc. etc., detail will be lost in such a massive vista. So - for the rest of us peasants, panoramic stitching it is.
Taken at 9.30am so there'd be no-one around to see me whip my tripod out. Better time of day for light, and a bit more practised in compo for pano-stitching.
Lack of tonal contrast rendered it a non-candidate for black & white conversion this time round.
Perserverance and all that....I WILL nail this one!

The Umpqua River at US 101 on the Oregon coast has two turning bridges in close proximity. One for trains and the other for car and truck traffic. Both were opened to let the fishing boat through. The 101 bridge (that I was standing on when I took this) is pretty much the same as the one in this picture, only larger.

it was an unusually warm, sunny day today .. i sat in the sun jacketess for the first time in months .... in a shady corner of our yard ice was melting, but far from gone .. safe in a cold corner, from the sun's warm dissolving embrace .. water frozen in mid-splash, clinging to plants, forming layer upon layer ... amazingly, beneath layers of cold icey weight, is the perserverance & determination to survive .. green cells in hybernation awaiting icey banishment and freedom to bask once again in sunlight ..

Who'd be a wildlife photographer? 150ish shots to get 4 half decent photos. I've not got the patience or perserverance and I was inside shooting through the double glazing. You can forget actually going out and sitting in the cold!
What I did on this project was look at Google.com for a picture of a runner and a picture of someone finishing a race. The I made a new document and pasted those pictures on the document.I set up a 3 by 3 grid. I made a text layer and used some layer blending modes to make it stick out. Next I decided to use the eraser and reduce the opacity and lighten the edges. I went on a tutorial and made light reflecting from the sky to the runner. I thought that tutorial was really cool. I made a placeholder and reduced the opacity. Then I got the definition from Dictionary.com. I made that text yellow and used some layer blending modes. I thought sense I picked like a inspiration theme, that I should put a quote on. I found a really good quote. I put a line under the word perseverance. Then I lightened the whole picture to make the runner stand out. The filters that I used were blur and that was for the tutorial. I really like the outcome of this one and I thought that it looked well done.

Desmonde is a girl I know from derby. She no longer plays roller derby but seems to lead a life that reflects the perserverance and agression that is required in the sport.
Desmonde is a smart smart girl who cares about others. To me the combination is rare and pleasing. I am happy to know her and happy that she is doing what she wants/needs/loves.
