We're moving house! Due to the recent changes, my resin midgets and I are packing up and moving to blogspot. This has actually been a long time coming, the janky new flickr just gave me the push I needed to do it. I'm not really HTML fluent yet so Its not super purdy, but we are working on it. I hope to bring you guys lots of fun things like photostories, galleries, and dolly profiles all in one place. To those of you who are not moving, you can contact me at youtube or deviantart (these are seldom used tho). I am canceling my pro account and will only be keeping like my 50 most popular photos here. Please come join us at: andelastictoo.blogspot.com/

"Scaffold," a wood & steel sculpture by the artist Sam Durant, was a composite of the representations of 7 historical gallows used in US state-sanctioned executions by hanging between 1859 and 2006. One of them being the gallows constructed in Mankato, Minnesota to simultaneously hang 38 Dakota men on December 26, 1862 on orders signed by President Lincoln following the U.S.-Dakota War. The Mankato execution is the largest one-day execution in US history.
Some additional information on the context of historical events surrounding the Mankato hanging:

The North Shore Yacht Club is an historically significant--not to mention architecturally significant--part of California's legacy. The North Shore Yacht club was the whimsical design of noted architect Albert Frey, who just happened to be a resident of the Coachella Valley. Completed in 1958 by developers Ray Ryan and Trav Rogers, North Shore Beach Yacht Club was one of the largest marinas in Southern California and carried a price tag of $2 million. Celebrities like The Beach Boys, Jerry Lewis, and the Marx Brothers partied there and / or docked boats at the marina.

A promotional video for the Yacht Club in its heyday - check out how nice this place once was:

This location is featured in the music video Swing Out Sister - Fooled By A Smile: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlFIj0DZh6A
Abandoned for a few decades, this place has now been restored.
Thanks to federal stimulus funding and the work of the East Valley Historical Society, the North Shore Yacht Club has been renovated to its original appearance.
The revamped club will serve as a senior center, community center, and museum - the latter under the direction of North Shore preservationist Jennie Kelly, who has already helped bring the long-extinct boat races back to the sea. The new museum is where the tale of Albert Frey's shimmering yacht club - with its fantastic ups and downs - will finally be told.
The building and museum will be open to the public in the very near future.

We think this is a picture of May Bourne (or possibly her daughter), a relative of Stewart's. We think it was taken in Kenya where the family worked for - again, we think - Brooke Bond, or one of the big plantation owners. Whether the licence plate is English and exported or Kenyan, don't know, but have just discovered that the first Kenyan reg was 1938. Any info gratefully received...we don't know for sure who, where, even what car! If the licence plate tells you anything, we would be pleased to know...
Thanks for all the information - see the trail below!
PLEASE if you're going to upload this somewhere, credit me. And ask me to use it if you can. It takes time and effort :(
