I dispute the notion that anyone, barring a few unique outliers, would choose a life of homelessness. Man's nature makes him seek out comfort and stability, and to assume that any man would look down on the prospect of good work, fair pay, and a warm bed is ridiculous. Homelessness is a societal problem, not an individual one.
Con un aforo completo de 12.000 personas y una recaudación de 55.251 euros el concierto presentación de VOCES, que tuvo lugar el 24 de octubre de 2007, en el Palacio de los Deportes de la Comunidad de Madrid supuso una exitosa carta de presentación para nuestra plataforma. El evento comenzó con la proyección del corto de Fernado Guillén “Cinco minutos para la media noche” y concluyó con la subida de todos los artistas al escenario para interpretar el tema “Voces”, compuesto especialmente para la ocasión por la Mari de Chambao, que junto con Antonio Orozco, son los principales impulsores del proyecto. Las actuaciones musicales corrieron a cargo de Estrella Morente y Arcángel, Antonio Carmona, la Mala, El Negri, Jarabe de Palo, Carlos Tarque, La Shica, Jorge Dréxel, La Mari de Chambao, Álvaro Urquijo, Conchita, Javier Ruibal, Antonio Orozco, Coti, Iván Ferreiro, Pedro Javier Hermosilla y Peret. Durante el concierto, se mostró un video a favor de VOCES en los que diversas personalidades del mundo de la cultura dejaron su voz. Además asistieron y colaboraron en el evento Silvia Abascal, Toni Aguilar, Marián Aguilera, Mariano Alameda, Miguel Alcantud, Ana Álvarez, Chusa Barbero, El Bicho, Andreu Buenafuente, Fede Celeda, Lía Chapman, Juan Díaz, Pedro Díaz, Sara Díez, Roberto Enríquez, Cuca Escribano, María Esteve, Jorge Flo, Daniel Freire, Manel Fuentes, José Luis García Pérez, Ana García Siñeriz, Fanny Gautier, Bárbara Goenaga, Cayetana Guillén Cuervo, Iván Hermes, Antonio Hernández, Boris Izaguirre, Oscar Jaenada, Nazaret Jiménez, Paco León, Liz Lobato, Ángel López, Soto, Rubén Martín, Mauri, Ángel Nieto, Beatriz Nieto, Pepón Nieto, Eduardo Noriega, Pachamama, Leire Pajín, Eulalia Ramón, Pilar del Río, Ana Risueño, José Saramago, José Manuel Seda, Hugo Silva, Marta Solaz, Edu Soto, Suso 33, Martín La Torre, Sofía Torroja, Mario Vargas Llosa, Alberto Vázquez, Irene Visedo, Hernán Zin, Ana Wagener y Leonor Watling.VOCES ha destinado la recaudación completa del concierto a apoyar tres iniciativas de cooperación: “Fortalecimiento institucional de asociaciones indígenas de Paraguay”, “Devuélveles la vida” en Colombia y “Adopta un acre” en la India. La primera se centra en el apoyo de dos grandes organizaciones propias, la “Federación de asociaciones guaraníes” y la “Coordinación para el autodesarrollo de los pueblos indígenas”. “Devuélveles la vida”, iniciativa personal de Antonio Orozco, pretende financiar proyectos de cooperación dirigidos a colectivos en riesgo de exclusión, especialmente la infancia. Finalmente, el proyecto de la activista india, Vandana Shiva, aspira a acabar con el sistema de patentes de semillas que actualmente mantiene esclavizada a la población campesina de su país.
Some of you may have noticed that, unfortunately, owing to the fact that a certain person who sells truck photos on eBay commercially has been lifting my images from this album and selling them I have had to remove 2300 photos that didn't have a watermark. I have now run around 1700 through Lightroom and added a watermark with the intention of bulk uploading them again. Rather than watermark the existing (hidden) files in Flickr one at a time it will be easier to do it this way. I definitely won’t be adding individual tags with the make and model of each vehicle I will just add generic transport tags. Each photo is named after the vehicle and reg in any case. For anyone new to these images there is a chapter and verse explanation below. It is staggering how many times I get asked questions that a quick scan would answer or just as likely I can’t possibly answer – I didn’t take them, but, just to clarify-I do own the copyright- and I do pursue copyright theft.
This is a collection of scanned prints from a collection of photographs taken by the late Jim Taylor A number of years ago I was offered a large number of photographs taken by Jim Taylor, a transport photographer based in Huddersfield. The collection, 30,000 prints, 20,000 negatives – and copyright! – had been offered to me and one of the national transport magazines previously by a friend of Jim's, on behalf of Jim's wife. I initially turned them down, already having over 30,000 of my own prints filed away and taking space up. Several months later the prints were still for sale – at what was, apparently, the going rate. It was a lot of money and I deliberated for quite a while before deciding to buy them. I did however buy them directly from Jim’s wife and she delivered them personally – just to quash the occasional rumour from people who can’t mind their own business. Although some prints were sold elsewhere, particularly the popular big fleet stuff, I should have the negatives, unfortunately they came to me in a random mix, 1200 to a box, without any sort of indexing and as such it would be impossible to match negatives to prints, or, to even find a print of any particular vehicle. I have only ever looked at a handful myself unless I am scanning them. The prints are generally in excellent condition and I initially stored them in a bedroom without ever looking at any of them. In 2006 I built an extension and they had to be well protected from dust and moved a few times. Ultimately my former 6x7 box room office has become their (and my own work’s) permanent home.
I hope to avoid posting images that Jim had not taken his self, however should I inadvertently infringe another photographers copyright, please inform me by email and I will resolve the issue immediately. There are copyright issues with some of the photographs that were sold to me. A Flickr member from Scotland drew my attention to some of his own work amongst the first uploads of Jim’s work. I had a quick look through some of the 30 boxes of prints and decided that for the time being the safest thing for me to do was withdraw the majority of the earlier uploaded scans and deal with the problem – which I did. whilst the vast majority of the prints are Jims, there is a problem defining copyright of some of them, this is something that the seller did not make clear at the time. I am reasonably confident that I have since been successful in identifying Jims own work. His early work consists of many thousands of lustre 6x4 prints which are difficult to scan well, later work is almost entirely 7x5 glossy, much easier to scan. Not all of the prints are pin sharp but I can generally print successfully to A4 from a scan.
You may notice photographs being duplicated in this Album, unfortunately there are multiple copies of many prints (for swapping) and as I have to have a system of archiving and backing up I can only guess - using memory - if I have scanned a print before. The bigger fleets have so many similar vehicles and registration numbers that it is impossible to get it right all of the time. It is easier to scan and process a print than check my files - on three different PC’s - for duplicates. There has not been, nor will there ever be, any intention to knowingly breach anyone else's copyright. I have presented the Jim Taylor collection as exactly that-The Jim Taylor Collection- his work not mine, my own work is quite obviously mine.
Unfortunately, many truck spotters have swapped and traded their work without copyright marking it as theirs. These people never anticipated the ease with which images would be shared online in the future. I would guess that having swapped and traded photos for many years that it is almost impossible to control their future use. Anyone wanting to control the future use of their work would have been well advised to copyright mark their work (as many did) and would be well advised not to post them on photo sharing sites without a watermark as the whole point of these sites is to share the image, it is very easy for those that wish, to lift any image, despite security settings, indeed, Flickr itself, warns you that this is the case. It was this abuse and theft of my material that led me to watermark all of my later uploads. I may yet withdraw non-watermarked photos, I haven’t decided yet. (I did in the end)
To anyone reading the above it will be quite obvious that I can’t provide information regarding specific photos or potential future uploads – I didn’t take them! There are many vehicles that were well known to me as Jim only lived down the road from me (although I didn’t know him), however scanning, titling, tagging and uploading is laborious and time consuming enough, I do however provide a fair amount of information with my own transport (and other) photos. I am aware that there are requests from other Flickr users that are unanswered, I stumble across them months or years after they were posted, this isn’t deliberate. Some weekends one or two “enthusiasts” can add many hundreds of photos as favourites, this pushes requests that are in the comments section ten or twenty pages out of sight and I miss them. I also have notifications switched off, I receive around 50 emails a day through work and I don’t want even more from Flickr. Other requests, like many other things, I just plain forget – no excuses! Uploads of Jim’s photos will be infrequent as it is a boring pastime and I would much rather work on my own output.
"Breakfast with Santa"
Cantigny Park
Wheaton, Illinois
Technical: Three SB600's in an reflecting umbrella about 10 feet up and camera left, One SB600 in a small softbox below the camera on the floor as a kicker. All triggered by CLS.
The umbrella is set so high because the background of Santa is a window. Without setting it high, I'd get reflection from the flash. And there's not a lot of room to move it off to one side or another. The kicker is there to fill in shadows in group shots.

What more do you want? A book, tea & sweets!
The book, In One Person, is a first-person narrative of an older bisexual man who struggles with his various attractions — including those to men, women, and transgender people — as he looks back on his life.
heihei~
A small and quick doodle for a cool thing I done. I'll probably share it once it's finalized and whatnot.
I tried watermarking this just kinda to see how I liked it. It's not too bad but eh, idk yet >.>
I'll probably do it a few more times before I decide ;P
Persona Cherri is pretty cool I'd say .3.
